But all that began to change in 2018 after they secured a <strong>\u00a335m<\/strong> investment from <strong>Infracapital<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/03\/wightfibre-begin-rollout-of-1gbps-home-broadband-on-isle-of-wight.html\">here<\/a>) to help fund a major upgrade to gigabit speed &#8220;<em>full fibre<\/em>&#8221; technology.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> deployment itself began steadily ramping-up last year and is currently reaching somewhat of a peak in its deployment pace (they&#8217;ve added c.5,000 premises since the last update in March 2020 alone). As a result the ISP can now cover 28% of premises on the <strong>Isle of Wight<\/strong> and they expect to reach 80% by the end of 2022, followed by 96% by the end of 2025 (c.71,000 homes and businesses).<\/p>\n<p>However tackling the most remote rural premises will be expensive (i.e. going from the original 80% to 96% coverage goal) and as such the operator has been busy trying to find some additional investment. The good news is that they&#8217;ve now secured additional funding of \u00a350m from <strong>NatWest Bank<\/strong> (total of \u00a385m).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>John Irvine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wightfibre\">WightFibre<\/a>&#8217;s CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wightfibre\">WightFibre<\/a> has made great progress in building the UK\u2019s first Gigabit Island on the Isle of Wight, having already made full-fibre broadband available to nearly 20,000 premises. The additional funding announced today will enable us to connect around 96% of premises on the island, making Isle of Wight one of the most well-connected places in the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wightfibre\">WightFibre<\/a>\u2019s point to point network design means every home and business on the island will receive their own dedicated fibre optic connection. This is practically unique in the UK making the Isle of Wight network not only world class but future-proof for decades to come.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Bob Seely, MP for the Isle of Wight, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am delighted to see an Isle of Wight company secure funding at these levels despite us being in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has demonstrated more than ever how essential good broadband is not just for business but for the home as well. WightFibre\u2019s Gigabit Island project will ensure we have even better broadband provision than we currently enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>The Isle of Wight is not only a great place to live and work but also a national leader both in embracing and developing technology.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At this point some readers may remark that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/kcom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">KCOM<\/a> only needed to invest \u00a385m in order to cover c.195,000 premises, but much of their deployment was urban focused (e.g. Hull) and so a lower average build cost would have been possible. By comparison the Isle of Wight has a lot of rural communities to consider and 71,000 premises divided by \u00a385m works out to an average per premises build cost of c.\u00a31,200 (seems reasonable and that&#8217;s still less than the \u00a31,700 subsidy limit on some BDUK Phase 2 contracts).<\/p>\n<p>Prices for the new service range from \u00a321.95 per month (special offer) for their unlimited entry-level 50Mbps (symmetric speed) \u201cfull fibre\u201d package and all the way up to \u00a342 for 900Mbps+, which includes free installation.
