KCOM<\/a>, which recently extended their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network to cover 250,000 premises across East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire in England (here<\/a>), have published their annual accounts<\/a> and revealed that their total broadband customer base has grown to 139,700 (most are now on fibre, having migrated from copper).<\/p>\n

The operator had previously invested \u00a385m+<\/strong> to spread FTTP<\/a> across their core network patch of c.195,000 premises in the Hull city area. Soon after that the operator was acquired by Macquarie Infrastructure for the hefty sum of \u00a3627m (here<\/a>) and in early 2020 they began a large \u00a3100m<\/strong> network expansion into more competitive areas (here<\/a>), which continues today.<\/p>\n

At the last count, in June 2021, we estimated (here<\/a>) that KCOM<\/a> were currently in the process of adding around 79,000 extra full fibre premises to their existing coverage (i.e. since the expansion programme began in 2020). So far, some 20 additional towns and villages across East Yorkshire<\/strong> and North Lincolnshire<\/strong> have benefitted from this work.<\/p>\n

According to the company’s latest annual accounts, KCOM<\/a> added a total of 26,000 new premises passed to their network coverage in the last year alone and generated total revenue of \u00a399.6m for 2021 (up from \u00a399.2m in 2020), with profits before taxation of \u00a34.3m (up from -\u00a314.3m).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The new accounts are made up to 31st March 2021 and so are older than the 250k premises figure mentioned earlier, which was published in November 2021.<\/div>\n

“The expansion of our full fibre network to surrounding areas ramped up during the year and as at 31st March 2021 we had passed 28,700 premises and we are on track to complete the build in the second half of 2022<\/strong><\/em>,” said KCOM’s report. The 2022 completion target represents their Phase One expansion, and there’s talk of planning work being undertaken for a second phase, which may partly focus on smaller “rural locations<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

The operator has a total customer base of 147,000 (up from 141.1k), although these aren’t all broadband users. When split down, KCOM had a total of 132,300 consumer broadband customers (up from 124,400), with 117,800 on FTTP<\/a>. On top of that, they also had a total of 7,400 business fibre broadband sites (up from 6,600). The overall broadband base is thus 139,700, with 229,000 premises passed by FTTP, as at 31st March 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
