In addition, the operator was adamant that this represented <strong>Ready For Service<\/strong> (RFS) premises (i.e. a live service that customers can order and get installed).<\/p>\n<p>The initial goal formed part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">CityFibre<\/a>&#8217;s wider <strong>\u00a34bn<\/strong> deployment programme, which eventually aims to have 8 million premises &#8220;<em>substantially completed<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; across 285 cities, towns and villages (c.30% of the UK) &#8211; by the end of 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/03\/cityfibre-name-279-uk-areas-for-4bn-gigabit-broadband-rollout.html\">here<\/a>). This will also include coverage for around an estimated 800,000 businesses, 400,000 public sector sites and 250,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> access points.<\/p>\n<p>However, after doing another pass over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">CityFibre<\/a>&#8217;s deployment areas, Andrew at TBB was only able to find around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkbroadband.com\/news\/9113-cityfibre-roll-out-when-is-live-not-live\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>700,000 premises<\/strong><\/a> that could be considered RFS. Now admittedly, the work that TBB does is laborious and they don&#8217;t always catch everything right away (they often lag a bit behind official announcements), but a gap of 300,000 premises is an abnormally huge margin of error even for them.<\/p>\n<p>The industry speculation was that CityFibre might have included some &#8220;<em>going live soon<\/em>&#8221; (i.e. not all RFS) premises. Just to be clear here, CF are starting to build at a very impressive pace and that is NOT in any doubt, although in many areas they do tend to wait until decent coverage has been achieved before putting the new network live. By adding &#8216;<em>built but not live<\/em>&#8216; premises they could easily hit 1 million.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for CityFibre previously informed ISPreview.co.uk that they were &#8220;<em>100% certain of the figure as the RFS count<\/em>&#8221; and suggested it may be down to TBB&#8217;s analysis. This prompted Andrew to take a closer look, and he did find some new areas, but the aforementioned gap was where that ended up.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that TBB noted that some of the premises that were last week mapped as &#8220;<em>live<\/em>&#8221; by ISPs, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/idnet\" target=\"_blank\">iDNET<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a>, have this week returned to the tentative &#8220;<em>Full Fibre is almost here!<\/em>&#8221; status on related availability checkers. At present this only accounts for around 4,000 premises and so doesn&#8217;t impact the overall picture much, but it does create further confusion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>John Franklin, CTIO at CityFibre, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As announced last week, our \u2018Ready For Service\u2019 network footprint has now comfortably exceeded 1 million homes. As a wholesaler, this entire footprint is now live and available to our retail partners to market and serve customers.<\/p>\n<p>Because we are continually signing and on-boarding new retail partners however, some areas are only now starting to appear in their availability checkers. We believe this is the prime reason for any discrepancy found with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/thinkbroadband\" target=\"_blank\">thinkbroadband<\/a>\u2019s data.<\/p>\n<p>As loyal readers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/thinkbroadband\" target=\"_blank\">thinkbroadband<\/a> and users of its data, we are working closely with them to provide full visibility of our network\u2019s reach and status. We are not only confident of our progress but proud, and we look forward to playing an ever larger part in the drive for nationwide Full Fibre coverage.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On balance of probability, and with respect to their long history of independent work on this subject, then we&#8217;d perhaps sooner trust TBB&#8217;s data over CityFibre&#8217;s. If the margin of error was more like c.100,000 then this wouldn&#8217;t be such a concern as that would be more understandable due to processing and admin delays etc. But a gap of c.300,000 is harder to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the issue does indeed stem from delays in live areas being reflected by ISP availability checkers, then TBB should be able to spot a sharp coverage increase over the next month or two. But none of this should distract from the excellent work on network build that continues to be done by CityFibre, which has raised the competitive pressures for incumbent operators and helped to push the market into the full fibre age.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Andrew Ferguson told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While tbb has found just 700,000 premises to date, this is growing as shown by the change in the last 7 days. So we expect to get closer to the million as we head towards Christmas, and the gap between our data and CityFibre internal figures will narrow.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even a figure of 700,000 premises passed is still a remarkable achievement, given that the build phase on all this is still relatively young and mostly involves individual housing rather than MDUs etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysis by Thinkbroadband (TBB), which maintains an independent database of broadband network coverage, has called into question CityFibre&#8217;s recent claim to have covered 1 million UK premises with their new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27136,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[418,56,38,66,74,96,98],"class_list":["post-29176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-cityfibre","tag-fttp","tag-politics","tag-sky-broadband","tag-talktalk","tag-vodafone","tag-zen-internet"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
