The CEO of BT<\/a> Group, Philip Jansen, will this week announce another ramping-up of Openreach<\/a>’s planned \u00a312bn investment programme, which currently aims to cover 20 million UK premises with their gigabit Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network by the mid to late 2020s. We list 27 new rural locations likely to benefit.<\/p>\n

At present Openreach<\/a>’s gigabit-capable FTTP<\/a> broadband network is already available to over 4.5 million premises<\/strong> (homes and businesses) across the United Kingdom (here<\/a>), rising to cover 5.8 million premises<\/strong> by September 2021. In addition, some 3.2 million out of their planned deployment to 20 million premises will also be in rural or semi-rural areas (here<\/a>); these are all commercial build without state aid.<\/p>\n

NOTE: <\/strong>The operator’s current build rate is c.42,000 per week and, during the last quarter, they’ve seen new orders – across multiple ISPs (e.g. BT<\/a>, EE<\/a>, Sky Broadband<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a> etc.) – reach an average rate of c.17,000 per week (very strong take-up).<\/div>\n

The good news, according to several weekend reports (Telegraph<\/a>), is that the BT<\/a> Group will – on Thursday – announce a ramping-up of their existing rollout programme. The announcement follows some favourable regulatory decisions made for BT via Ofcom<\/a>’s recent market review (here<\/a>), as well as the Budget 2021 announcement of a “super deduction<\/em>” tax policy for businesses that invest in new plant and machinery assets (here<\/a>) and the deployment of faster trenching machines (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

At the time of writing we don’t yet know everything that will be announced on Thursday and whether it means their rollout target will be brought forward or possibly even extended beyond 20 million premises. However, we are fairly confident that it will involve an expansion of Openreach<\/a>’s existing rollout plan for rural market towns and villages up to March 2024, which reflects the aforementioned 3.2 million premises (Area 3 commitment).<\/p>\n

The existing build plan for those rural areas was last updated in February 2021 (here<\/a>) but we recently saw a draft copy of their most recent update, which listed a number of additional rural market towns and villages that aren’t on the current Feb 2021 list. We don’t yet know what the final list will look like and so some of these may yet disappear and others may be added, but the table below lists the 27 new additions.<\/p>\n

Just to be clear, this table contains a list of Openreach’s FTTP<\/a> locations (new additions only) within the first phase of network build in rural market towns and villages up to March 2024 as part of their 3.2m Area 3 commitment. It does not show FTTP deployments related to BDUK, new sites\/retro new-sites, Fibre First Cities and other smaller scale programmes or infill. The expansion of this list will mean less of a gap for the Government’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a><\/strong> programme to fill.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Area 3 means non-competitive locations (e.g. rural) where Openreach are the only operator providing a large-scale network (i.e. no rivals or plans by rivals). This reflects c.30% of the UK.<\/div>\n
