Ofcom<\/a>’s latest Spring 2022 report into fixed broadband and mobile coverage has revealed that “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>) now reaches 33% of the UK (up from 28% in Sept 2021), while 19.3 million homes<\/span> (66%) are within reach of a gigabit-capable network (up from 47%). Geographic 5G<\/a> coverage has also improved.<\/p>\n

The regulator’s latest report is based on coverage and service availability information that has been received from both fixed line UK ISPs and mobile network operators as of January 2022, which is thus four months more recent than the September 2021 data in their last annual Connected Nations 2021<\/strong> report.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The Government’s original definition of “superfast broadband<\/em>” is 24Mbps+, which is close to 97-98% coverage.<\/div>\n

Since September last year, the UK coverage of fixed “superfast broadband<\/em>” (30Mbps+<\/strong>) networks has remained largely unchanged on 96%, while some 9.6 million (33%) homes can now order a Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) service via various networks<\/a> (up from 8.2 million or 28% at the last update).<\/p>\n

Ofcom<\/a> also reports that gigabit-capable (1Gbps+<\/strong>) services are now available to 66% of UK premises (up from 47%), which is higher than the FTTP<\/a> figure because most of the recent growth in gigabit connectivity has flowed from Virgin Media<\/a>’s recently completed upgrade to their existing Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) lines with DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 technology. A lot of overbuild between HFC and FTTP is also taking place in dense urban areas.<\/p>\n

All of this work should help to support the UK Government’s new \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme, which aims to further improve the picture for gigabit speed connectivity by using state aid to target connectivity improvements toward the final 20% of hardest to reach premises (i.e. helping to extend gigabit coverage to at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025 and then “nationwide<\/em>” by 2030).<\/p>\n

The improvements in fixed line coverage also mean that the number of premises which cannot get a “decent broadband<\/em>” (10Mbps+<\/strong>) service is currently 506,000<\/span><\/span> (around 1% of the UK), which shrinks to just 99,500 premises if you include delivery via fixed wireless and 4G<\/a> broadband services.<\/p>\n

Just to remind readers, a download speed of at least 10Mbps and an upload of 1Mbps represents the core specification for the UK Government’s new broadband Universal Service Obligation<\/strong><\/a> (USO), which began in March 2020 and also allows for the use of both fixed line and wireless solutions.<\/p>\n

Speaking of wireless services, 4G<\/a> mobile networks have seen geographic coverage across all network operators (EE<\/a>, Three UK<\/a>, O2<\/a> and Vodafone<\/a>) hold fairly steady on a range of 79-86%<\/span><\/span>. The new \u00a31bn Shared Rural Network<\/strong><\/a> (SRN) agreement will eventually start to change that, but it’s a very slow burn.<\/p>\n

Finally, on 5G<\/a> coverage, Ofcom<\/a> states that some 47<\/span>–<\/span>62%<\/span><\/span> of UK premises can now get outdoor coverage by at least one operator, but this collapses to just 4-12% when looking at outdoor coverage by all operators combined. Suffice to say, there’s still a long way to go.<\/p>\n
