A new report from Audit Scotland<\/a> has provided somewhat of a summary and progress update on the Scottish Government<\/a>’s \u00a3600m Reaching 100% (R100) project with BT<\/a> (Openreach<\/a>), which is busy extending fixed “superfast broadband<\/em>” (30Mbps+) coverage across rural parts of the country (mostly via FTTP<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The R100 programme is split between three contract LOTS and focused on extending 30Mbps+ capable connectivity across as much of the final c.5% of poorly served premises in Scotland as possible. For example, LOT 2<\/strong> (Central Scotland) will reach 32,216 premises and 95.6% of those will be via FTTP<\/a> (the rest are FTTC<\/a>), while LOT 3<\/strong> (Southern Scotland) will reach 20,740 premises and 100% of that is FTTP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> LOT 1 also includes a \u00a335m subsea fibre rollout (16 new links) to help connect 15 more remote islands (here<\/a>), which is due to commence this summer.<\/div>\n

By comparison, the award of the largest LOT 1<\/strong> (North Scotland and the Highlands) contract took a lot longer (here<\/a>) after it was delayed by a legal challenge from rival bidder Gigaclear<\/a> (here<\/a>), but it is expected to deliver faster connectivity to cover a further 59,276 premises (100% via gigabit-capable FTTP).<\/p>\n

Overall, around 112,000 premises are now expected to be connected through the three R100 contracts by the end of 2027 and, at the end of 2021, Openreach<\/a> had so far been able to complete just 5,300 of these. The average cost to connect premises under R100 has also increased from around \u00a34,000 to \u00a35,690 – due to the increase in the number of FTTP connections, which are more expensive (the original plan involved more FTTC<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The cost to connect premises varies significantly between and within the LOTS due to the different geographies and spread of premises and technologies used. For example, the Scottish Government<\/a> estimates that some island premises could cost around \u00a320,000 to connect, while those in the Central lot may average \u00a33,090 per premises.<\/p>\n

\"Scotland-R100-December-2021-Progress\"<\/p>\n

We also get an update on the Scottish Broadband Voucher Scheme (SBVS), which provides vouchers worth up to \u00a35,000 to connect those properties for which there is no roll-out of superfast broadband planned (rising to \u00a36,500 with a top-up from the UK scheme). But in order to make it seem like they were still holding to the original 2021 completion commitment, they also introduced a smaller interim scheme.<\/p>\n

The Interim Voucher Scheme<\/strong> is a bit of an oddball in that it\u2019s focused on \u201cpremises that are due to be connected by the R100 contracts or a commercial supplier after 2021<\/em>\u201d (i.e. duplicating some of R100\u2019s public investment). Such premises can take a voucher worth up to \u00a3400 (plus an additional \u00a3250 in some of the hardest-to-reach areas), which can be used on satellite<\/a>, fixed wireless, mobile broadband or fixed line solutions.<\/p>\n

By December 2021, some 1,426 voucher connections (826 main scheme and 600 interim scheme) had been installed, at a total value of \u00a32.1m (the smaller interim scheme is due to close at the end of this month, after it was extended last year). The original estimated cost of the scheme was between \u00a322m to \u00a328.6m, based on a take-up of 20 to 30 per cent for the main scheme and 3 to 4 per cent for the interim scheme.<\/p>\n

Overall, the report notes that there are currently 207,000 premises without access to superfast broadband. The R100 project looks set to tackle over half of those, while commercial deployments are planned to deal with another 20,500. This leaves over 70,000 premises that will need to be tackled through vouchers or the new \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong> programme (work on this has already started<\/a>). But we’d expect the latter figure to change once the current market reviews have been completed.<\/p>\n

Connecting the final premises will be hugely challenging. Many are in the hardest to reach locations with difficult terrain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
