The latest data update from Thinkbroadband<\/a> has estimated that 50.23% of properties in the United Kingdom now have access to take a fixed gigabit-capable (1000Mbps+) broadband ISP connection, which is up from 41.72% in July 2021 and largely reflects the impact from Virgin Media<\/a>’s (VMO2) recent DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 upgrades.<\/p>\n

At present, 26.24% of properties can access a gigabit speed service via Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) technology, but most of the recent growth in gigabit coverage has actually come from Virgin Media<\/a>’s ongoing upgrade of their existing Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) lines with DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 technology. The latter recently hit 10 million premises (here<\/a>) and such upgrades are due to complete by the end of this year (14.3 million premises).<\/p>\n

As usual, it’s not as simple as adding the figures for HFC and FTTP<\/a> together because a lot of the early build for these technologies is still occurring in urban areas, where there is a lot of overbuild between rival networks. Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) are of course the largest FTTP<\/a> operator, but there are also around a hundred alternative network (AltNet) providers doing their own independent full fibre builds too (Summary of Full Fibre Builds<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Assuming VMO2’s upgrade programme completes as planned, and we have no reason to suspect that it won’t (another big switch-on is due soon), then the UK seems set to end 2021 with gigabit broadband coverage reaching around 60% of UK premises.<\/p>\n

Nadine Dorries, UK Digital Secretary, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve passed the halfway point in our national mission to level up the UK with lightning-fast gigabit broadband.<\/p>\n

Millions of people can now access the fastest, most reliable internet connections, allowing them full advantage of new technologies over the next forty years.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the work of industry and our record \u00a35 billion investment, we are making phenomenal progress in the Prime Minister\u2019s infrastructure revolution.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As remarked above, all of this commercial investment will help the Government’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme to achieve its goal, 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 100% as soon as possible).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The first proper contracts under Project Gigabit, funded by an initial release of \u00a31.2bn, aren’t due to be awarded until around mid-2022 and that means the build is unlikely to begin until late 2022 or early 2023 (engineering prep takes time).<\/div>\n

The catch in all this is that VMO2’s gigabit upgrade bounce is about to end, which means that growing progress beyond the first 60% will be significantly slower, although commercial projects alone are still expected to help lift the national coverage up to around 80% of premises (Openreach<\/a> alone also expects to achieve this by December 2026 – 25 million premises passed with FTTP).<\/p>\n

After that, most of the work that remains in the final 20% of premises will need some state aid assistance because the cost of deployment in rural and semi-rural areas will otherwise become disproportionately expensive. One previous report from Point Topic<\/a> forecast that the UK would achieve 98% coverage of gigabit connectivity by 2030 (here<\/a>), which seems like a reasonable prediction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
