The latest independent biannual summary of UK broadband coverage for H1 2022 has estimated that “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>) ISP networks have boosted their reach to 37.61% of premises (up from 30.23% in H2 2021) and 69.24% are within reach of “gigabit<\/em>” speeds (up from 65.22%). But the results vary around England, Wales, Scotland and N.Ireland.<\/p>\n

The focus, both politically and generally, is currently on enhancing “gigabit<\/em>” (1000Mbps+<\/strong> or 1Gbps+<\/strong>) class networks. At present virtually all of this new gigabit connectivity is coming from Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) based networks via Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>), Hyperoptic<\/a>, CityFibre<\/a>, CommunityFibre<\/a>, G.Network<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a> and many others (Summary of Full Fibre Builds<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, Virgin Media<\/a>’s (VMO2) recent upgrade to DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1<\/strong> technology – spread across both their new FTTP<\/a> and existing Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) networks (here<\/a>) – did change this dynamic. The aforementioned upgrade completed at the end of last year and now covers nearly 16 million premises, which explains why gigabit coverage has improved so rapidly since 2019. But progress will now be slower because a lot of urban focused FTTP builds will be overbuilding HFC.<\/p>\n

At present, most of the progress on gigabit-capable network coverage is still thanks to commercial investment, often with a little support from the Government’s various voucher schemes. But we also expect the new \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> (F20) programme to start having a tiny impact from the end of this year (unless delays creep in), before rising faster through 2023 and onwards.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, those still stuck in sub-10Mbps areas will, for the time being, be left with little option but to either try harnessing the Government’s flawed 10Mbps Universal Service Obligation<\/strong><\/a> (USO), opt for a satellite<\/a> solution (Starlink<\/a> is good, if you can afford it) or wait for a fixed line upgrade. People taking the USO are being promised speeds of over 10Mbps (often via 4G<\/a> rather than fibre), but some of those are already finding that they live in areas where not even the USO can cover the colossal upgrade costs (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). The government are still examining support options for such remote premises.<\/p>\n

Listed below is the latest modelling from Thinkbroadband<\/a> to July 2022 (H1 – 2022). We should point out that the figure for ‘Under 10Mbps<\/em>‘ doesn’t reflect 4G<\/a> mobile coverage, which plays a part in the official USO but isn’t included in TBB’s mapping work; it’s incredibly difficult to do an accurate model for mobile coverage.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The figures in brackets (%) represent the previous H2 – 2021 result (Jan 2022).<\/div>\n

NOTE 1:<\/strong> <\/span>Nearly all of the gigabit coverage is coming from Virgin Media<\/a>’s existing HFC cable network, although Openreach<\/a>, Hyperoptic<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a>, Cityfibre<\/a> and others all have big “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP) expansion plans. But there’s a lot of overbuild between HFC and FTTP, so future progress post-2021 will be slower now that VM has completed their upgrade. <\/p>\n

NOTE 2:<\/strong><\/span> It’s very important to remember that Government \/ political coverage targets, like 85% for gigabit-capable, reflect a national average, which can of course be better or worse for some areas (e.g. a few may achieve higher coverage, while others could be well below that).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take note that each devolved region (Scotland, Wales etc.) has its own policy and targets, which all feed into the central UK figure. For example, while Northern Ireland<\/strong> may be behind on superfast speeds and good coverage for the USO, their full fibre coverage is MILES ahead of other regions, and we suspect they’ll also be one of the first to achieve near universal coverage of gigabit-capable broadband.<\/p>\n

As stated earlier, this data is an estimate and should be taken with a pinch of salt, not least because it won’t always reflect the very latest real-world position. But it’s still one of the best and most up-to-date gauges that we have for checking against official claims (official figures tend to be a tiny bit higher than TBB’s due to differences in data modelling etc.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
