The related contract consists of two stages, the original <strong>\u00a322.5m<\/strong> deal (target of 26,000 premises by March 2021) and a more recent <strong>\u00a330m<\/strong> extension (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/07\/wales-extends-bt-fttp-broadband-rollout-to-39000-premises.html\">13,000 premises by June 2022<\/a>). The reason why the extension costs more, yet doesn\u2019t go as far, is because the cost of deployment rises disproportionately as you enter increasingly remote rural communities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The contract is deploying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> to tackle some of those areas in the final 4-5% of Wales that still cannot access a \u201c<em>superfast broadband<\/em>\u201d (30Mbps+) connection.<\/div>\n<p>According to the latest update from the WG, <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-46 shortlink-chref\" title=\"openreach\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\">Openreach<\/a> has so far built their full fibre network to a total of 24,515 premises (from 20,490 in June 2021, 19,919 in March 2021, 15,649 in Dec 2020, 14,698 in Sept 2020 and 9,895 in June 2020) &#8211; of these 6,200 are in the Lot 1 area (North West Wales), 8,104 in Lot 2 (East Wales) and 10,211 in Lot 3 (South West Wales).<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, it may seem as if the first target of 26,000 premises was missed, but that aim was actually reduced to 20,000 premises due to the positive impact of commercial builds, as well as the re-phasing of work to make the rollout more efficient and the switch of some areas from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> technology (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.senedd.tv\/Meeting\/Archive\/7d12143b-1a60-4db4-8890-a9624d071724?autostart=True#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>). Not to mention that COVID-19 hasn&#8217;t helped.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, tens of thousands of premises are still expected to remain poorly served at the end of this contract, but that figure may yet shrink as a result of commercial builds (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> and <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-45 shortlink-chref\" title=\"Ogi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/spectruminternet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ogi.wales\">Ogi<\/a> are going much deeper).
