The combined reach of 1Gbps (1000Mbps+) speed capable ISP networks, via both Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) and DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 technologies, has now helped to increase national “gigabit broadband<\/em>” coverage to 34.1% of UK premises (up sharply from just 10% one year ago).<\/p>\n

Until recently nearly all of the new gigabit capable coverage was coming from “full fibre<\/em>” FTTP<\/a> based deployments – currently 17.85% – via operators like Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>), Hyperoptic<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a>, Cityfibre<\/a>, CommunityFibre<\/a>, G.Network<\/a>, TrueSpeed<\/a>, OFNL and many other alternative networks. But the latest independent data from Thinkbroadband<\/a> shows the impact of another key change on the market.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Gigabit speeds aren’t an automatic upgrade, you have to order it from an ISP.<\/div>\n

Specifically, Virgin Media<\/a>’s rapid roll-out of D3.1 technology, which is gradually being spread across both their new FTTP<\/a> and existing Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) based networks (here<\/a>), has changed the aforementioned dynamic. For example, last week’s move (here<\/a>) to upgrade their existing infrastructure in London<\/strong> and Northern Ireland<\/strong> put another c.3 million premises within reach of 1Gbps (total of 6.8m or 45% of their UK network).<\/p>\n

Going forward Virgin look set to cover 16 million premises with D3.1 by the end of 2021 (55-60% of the UK), which means that for the next few years their upgrade will continue to dominate the gigabit coverage figures, at least until FTTP inevitably catches up by around 2025. At present most of these developments are commercial builds in urban areas, where D3.1 and rival FTTP networks are competitively overbuilding each other.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say to say that by the end of 2025 it wouldn’t be a massive surprise if the industry alone, mostly using private investment, had already been able to achieve gigabit coverage of around 70%. However, the as yet unknown quantity in all this is the future impact of the Government’s \u00a35bn<\/strong> investment, which aims to help those in the hardest to reach final 20% of UK premises (mostly rural) gain access to 1Gbps speeds (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson<\/strong>, originally wanted to ensure that every UK home could access a gigabit-capable network by the end of 2025, but an acceptance of reality means that the goal now seems to be to “go as far as we possibly can by 2025<\/em>” (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The new target is also much more technologically neutral, which means that 5G<\/a> and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) networks could potentially play a role. However, leaving aside FWA, achieving gigabit speeds in rural areas via 5G<\/a> mobile infrastructure will be particularly difficult, given the deployment approaches (big masts to cover a wide area) and use of lower frequency spectrum (to maximise coverage) – not good for speeds.<\/p>\n

Realistically we wouldn’t be at all surprised if the gigabit build continued on for another few years after 2025, albeit at an ever-diminishing pace. But, as hinted above, there are currently many unknowns and often these are only fully answered after the first contracts have been signed (not expected to happen for another year or more).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
