Belfast-based UK ISP Fibrus<\/a>, which recently began the \u00a385m+ roll-out of a new 1Gbps Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH<\/a>) broadband network in Northern Ireland and aims to cover 145,000 premises by around 2024 (here<\/a>), has now committed to help ensure that 100% of homes can access such services by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

The press release almost makes it sound like Fibrus<\/a> will do every home itself, although we know that Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) have so far done the lion’s share of “full fibre<\/em>” and Virgin Media<\/a> has also had a sizeable input. Instead the commitment by Fibrus<\/a> is actually focused upon ensuring that the remaining 12% gap in coverage will get filled by 2025.<\/p>\n

The above is based on an expectation that deployments by various operators, as well as the planned interventions by the NI Executive in areas that are not commercially viable (here<\/a>), should push “full fibre<\/em>” coverage to around 88% of premises across N.Ireland (at present FTTP<\/a> coverage in the region is already over 45%).<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that, if achieved, this would make Northern Ireland the first region in the United Kingdom or Ireland to achieve the milestone of 100% coverage. Having already invested and completed full fibre networks in various towns in South Down, Fibrus<\/a> says they’re now “ahead of schedule<\/em>” on their earlier promise to build FTTP<\/a> broadband in over 100 towns across NI.<\/p>\n

NOTE: <\/strong>Fibrus claims that the major existing operators have, to date, only committed to connect 61% of NI homes between them (mostly by focusing on Belfast and 10+ other large towns).<\/div>\n

Conal Henry, Fibrus Founder and Chair, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Northern Ireland customers have already spent over \u00a32 billion on Broadband, but up until recently it seemed that only 60% of NI homes would get full fibre. Now, with Fibrus\u2019 investment in regional towns and timely interventions by the NI Executive in areas that are not commercially viable coverage is expected to grow to 88%. Today we are committing to ensure the remaining 12% gap will get filled by 2025.<\/p>\n

The truth is that relying on a copper company to build our full fibre future is akin to waiting on the canal companies to build the railways. Only proper platform competition can stimulate investment and Fibrus are here in NI to deliver exactly that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The company says they’ve now commenced a “detailed planning and design exercise for each of these homes and is confident that, with continued regulatory and investment supports, these homes can and will be connected<\/em>.” The net result being that all homes in NI can look forward, with confidence, to a full fibre future by 2025.<\/p>\n

Admittedly if this were any other UK region then we’d be quite sceptical, but the potential to achieve such coverage by 2025 does seem more viable for N.Ireland, particularly given the impressive pace of progress that is already being made by all of the network operators. As mentioned earlier, NI is way ahead of the wider UK in FTTP<\/a> coverage.<\/p>\n

On the other hand tackling the final 12% of premises can be disproportionately expensive, which seems likely to require significantly more investment than has so far been tabled. A figure of 90-95% may thus be more feasible, but only time will tell whether or not universal coverage can actually be achieved in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
