For the first time Cityfibre<\/a> has revealed to ISPreview.co.uk that their \u00a34bn programme, which is deploying a new gigabit-capable (1000Mbps+) Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network to 30% of UK homes and businesses over the next few years, has now reached a total of over 500,000 premises passed.<\/p>\n

The operator is currently working to invest \u00a34bn<\/strong> (here<\/a> and here<\/a>) in order to deploy their FTTP<\/a> network to cover around 1 million premises by the end of 2021, and then 8 million across 100+ cities and towns (c.30% of the UK), although the latter target isn’t expected to be “substantially completed<\/em>” until the end of 2025 (depending upon how they define substantially).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Cityfibre<\/a> is being supported by various ISPs, such as Vodafone<\/a> (Gigafast Broadband<\/a><\/strong>), TalkTalk<\/a>, Zen Internet<\/a> and many others, but they aren’t all live or available in every covered location yet. The operator usually aims to cover 85%+ of premises in each town or city they target.<\/div>\n

Despite some disruption from COVID-19<\/strong>, the past year was still a busy one for Cityfibre<\/a> as they ramped-up their build and added many new locations to their rollout plan. On top of that they’ve also added lots of new retail ISPs to the wholesale side of their network (total of 14 so far). Suffice to say that now is a good time for us to look at how much build progress has been made on the road toward their first target at the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Until now we’ve usually only had independent estimates of coverage to examine, but we’ve now been officially told that their network build has gone above half a million premises passed (we understand that this figure covers completed builds, not unfinished or part-built ones).<\/p>\n

So far some 66 of their 100+ planned towns and cities have been assigned a contractor (i.e. work has started or will be starting soon) and 33 of those are already in active build, while FTTP<\/a> broadband services have gone live in 27 of those (rising to 60 by the end of 2021).<\/p>\n

Greg Mesch, CEO of Cityfibre, told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Our focus over the past 12 months has been to put in place the scaling capability required to deliver on our rollout targets. I\u2019m delighted to say we have made enormous progress and are on track to bring world-class Full Fibre infrastructure to up to 8 million premises by 2025.<\/p>\n

In the last year we have totally transformed our organisational structure to support our growth, nearly doubling our employees and bolstering our management team with exceptional appointments bringing infrastructure finance and regulatory expertise that is second to none.<\/p>\n

Operationally, we have so far awarded approximately \u00a32.5 billion in construction contracts and have build underway in over 30 towns and cities. We have also brought in Bechtel to enable another step change in mobilisation, setting us up for rollouts and live services across more than 60 towns and cities by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

Alongside our build partners, we\u2019re also working on an innovative training and recruitment programme that is already creating jobs and long term career prospects for thousands of people in an industry critical to the UK’s future success.<\/p>\n

As a wholesaler, we have also focused on building out our retail customer base and have so far welcomed 10 consumer ISPs to our networks. Each of these is now able to offer market-leading gigabit services at price points that will help convert the huge demand for Full Fibre connectivity in the market.<\/p>\n

2021 looks set to be another extraordinary year for our business, more than doubling our footprint, attracting more customers and delivering world-class communications infrastructure for the UK.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As this is the first official figure we’ve had from Cityfibre then it’s not enough to gauge the pace of their build, but thankfully Andrew over at Thinkbroadband<\/a> (TBB) has been able to help us fill-in some of the blanks via his latest independent modelling (estimate). TBB’s data only includes areas where they can confirm that Cityfibre’s network is now live for service, which can sometimes lag a short distance behind official figures.<\/p>\n

Cityfibre’s \u00a34bn Project – Build Progress<\/strong><\/span>
\nFebruary 2019 – 25,445 Premises
\nAugust 2019 – 70,748 Premises
\nOctober 2019 – 100,692 Premises
\nOctober 2020 – 352,159 Premises *
\nJanuary 2021 – 423,185 Premises *<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> The Oct 2020 figure and onwards include the addition of FibreNation’s FTTP build (acquired for \u00a3206m from TalkTalk<\/a> earlier in 2020 – c.40-50k premises)<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By the looks of it Cityfibre has added another 71,026 premises to their network coverage between mid-October 2020 and mid-January 2021, which roughly reflects a three-month period or a monthly build rate of 23,675 premises passed. If that pace were to be maintained then we’d expect another 260,425 premises to be added over the next 11 months (i.e. growing the TBB total to c.700,000 premises by the end of 2021).<\/p>\n

The catch above is that CF are still ramping-up their rollout, with new areas and contractors being confirmed or added on an almost weekly basis, and the deployment in some areas looks as if it will become significantly quicker during the first half of 2021. Suffice to say that reaching 1 million by the end of 2021 is still a viable target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
