The data to December 2020 shows 15,649 premises have now been completed.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The second contract consists of two stages, the original <strong>\u00a322.5m<\/strong> deal (reflecting a target of 26,000 premises by March 2021) and a much more recent <strong>\u00a330m<\/strong> extension (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/07\/wales-extends-bt-fttp-broadband-rollout-to-39000-premises.html\">13,000 premises by June 2022<\/a>). The reason why the extension is more expensive is because the cost of deployment rises disproportionately as you enter those increasingly remote and sparse communities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The contract is deploying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> to tackle some of those areas in the final 4-5% of Wales that still cannot access a &#8220;<em>superfast broadband<\/em>&#8221; (30Mbps+) connection.<\/div>\n<p>According to the latest update from the WG&#8217;s Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport, <strong>Lee Waters<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> has so far built their full fibre network to a total of 15,649 premises (up from 14,698 in Sept 2020 and 9,895 in June 2020) under the contract &#8211; of these 3,470 are in the Lot 1 area, 6,919 in Lot 2 and 6,919 in Lot 3 &#8211; see below for more detail.<\/p>\n<p>All of these completed premises are subject to further assurance by WG and, so far, 14,365 have been checked through this ongoing process. The rollout pace seems to have slowed a bit in the last quarter, which may be partly down to the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n<p>However, a meeting of the Welsh Parliament last week (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.senedd.tv\/Meeting\/Archive\/7d12143b-1a60-4db4-8890-a9624d071724?autostart=True#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>) noted that the March 2021 expectation now seems to be 20,000 instead of 26,000 premises. Some of this is due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> build being changed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>, while a few reductions also come from de-scoping (possibly due to the impact of new commercial projects) and re-phasing work to make the rollout more efficient with the \u00a330m contract extension.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly more than 60,000 are still expected to remain unserved once the current contract ends. Some of that will probably be tackled by the WG&#8217;s voucher schemes and community fund, but others may have to wait for the UK Government&#8217;s \u00a35bn investment in gigabit-capable broadband to have an impact (it&#8217;ll be late 2021 or early 2022 before we see contracts for that being awarded, assuming no delays).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Breakdown by local authority (Q4 2020)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"width: 100%; padding: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2021-uk-internet-statistics\/wales_fttp_rollout_Q4_2020.png\" alt=\"wales_fttp_rollout_Q4_2020\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Welsh Government has issued a Q4 2020 progress update on their \u00a352.5m Phase 2 Superfast Cymru contract with BT (Openreach), which is deploying a 1Gbps Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network to cover 39,000 extra premises in rural Wales.
