Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has today announced that, as a result of the BT<\/a> Group raising their rollout target for 1Gbps+ Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP technology, they now expect to reach 6.2 million UK premises across rural villages and market towns (up from the previous target of 3.2m) by December 2026.<\/p>\n

At present Openreach<\/a>’s gigabit-capable FTTP<\/a> network is being built at a rate of c.43,000 premises per week (1.9 million were added during 2020\/21) and already covers 4.8 million premises<\/strong>, while orders for the new service are running at an average rate of c.17,000 per week (very strong take-up).<\/p>\n

The previous plan was to continue this c.\u00a312bn investment and build to 20 million premises by the mid-to-late 2020s, which would have included 3.2 million homes and businesses in rural or semi-rural villages and market towns (here<\/a>) – otherwise designated by Ofcom<\/a> as part of the operator’s Area 3 commitment.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Area 3 means non-competitive locations (e.g. rural) where Openreach<\/a> are the only operator providing a large-scale network (i.e. no rivals or plans by rivals). This reflects c.30% of the UK or c.9.5 million premises.<\/div>\n

However, the aforementioned plan suddenly changed earlier this month after the BT<\/a> Group announced that they aimed to increase their deployment target by investing \u00a315bn<\/strong> in order to cover 25 million premises<\/strong> by December 2026 (here<\/a>) – c.80% of UK premises. Openreach has today confirmed that this will effectively add another 3 million premises to their rural build (total of 6.2 million) – the vast majority in Area 3.<\/p>\n

Clive Selley, Openreach CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Building a new broadband network across the UK is a massive challenge and some parts of the country will inevitably require public funding. But our expanded build plan means taxpayer subsidies can be limited to only the hardest to connect homes and businesses – and we hope to see other companies step forward to build in the most rural areas too.<\/p>\n

This is a hugely complex, nationwide engineering project \u2013 second only to HS2 in terms of investment. It will help level-up the UK because the impact of Full Fibre broadband stretches from increased economic prosperity and international competitiveness, to higher employment and environmental benefits. We\u2019re also delighted to continue bucking the national trend by creating thousands more jobs, with apprentices joining in their droves to start their careers as engineers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The plans also include an extension to the company’s biggest ever recruitment drive, with a further 1,000 new roles being created in 2021 on top of the 2,500 jobs which were announced in December 2020. Naturally, most of these will be fibre engineers.<\/p>\n

Oliver Dowden MP, UK Digital Secretary, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are levelling up the UK and taking hard-to-reach homes and businesses off buffer mode with a \u00a35 billion investment in lightning-fast, next generation broadband<\/p>\n

I welcome Openreach\u2019s ambitious plans to connect millions more rural homes to gigabit speeds. It means our funding can go even further to help those in need and will create thousands more high-skilled engineering jobs as we build back better from the pandemic.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition, the network operator has confirmed that BT Group’s new target would also accelerate their rate of build, which means that it will now ramp up to a peak of 4 million premises deployed a year or c.75,000 per week (previously they expected to peak at around 3 million a year). All of this will form part of their commercial investment.<\/p>\n

In keeping with this Openreach has today published an updated 5-year build plan for 1,100 exchange locations<\/strong> – including market and coastal towns, villages and hamlets spread across the entire UK. The expansion of this list will also mean less of a gap for the Government’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a><\/strong> programme to fill.<\/p>\n

The Updated May 2021 v3 Build Plan<\/strong><\/a> (PDF) is far too big to paste just this moment, so in the meantime it’s best to view the document on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach, like most operators, won’t always cover 100% of premises in every location where they build, and sometimes they’ll come back later to infill further coverage. Long term build plans can also be subject to change, such as when a location is found to be more expensive than modelled due to various obstacles.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
