UK ISP BT<\/a> has today issued their latest biannual study into the progress they’ve made toward delivering the 10Mbps Universal Service Obligation<\/a> (USO) for broadband, which reveals that they’ve so far built a USO connection to over 4,600 premises, with more than 2,300 further builds in progress.<\/p>\n

The USO officially went live in March 2020. The obligation was aimed at those who can\u2019t yet receive a 10Mbps+<\/strong> capable broadband speed and aren\u2019t currently planned to get one in the next 12-months. Ofcom<\/a> states that 123,000 UK premises (0.4%) currently fall into this gap (i.e. those outside of both fixed line, fixed wireless and suitable 4G<\/a> mobile coverage), but a big chunk of that is still too expensive for even the USO to handle.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> For many of those extremely remote areas, the cost of a USO connection will be significantly in excess of the industry \u00a33,400 contribution (end-users have the option to pay excess costs or decline the USO solution).<\/div>\n

Back in 2020 we reported on various examples (here<\/a>) where people had been hit with quotes for excess costs that ran from tens of thousands of pounds and went all the way up to \u00a31-2m. Since then, various improvements have been made to the USO (here<\/a>), but there’s no escaping the reality that some properties will not be economically viable to reach via fixed line or 4G<\/a> solutions under the USO.<\/p>\n

The government are currently still exploring how to reach those who live in these so-called “Very Hard to Reach<\/em>” areas (here<\/a>) – also known as the final c.0.3% of premises – and the outcome of that is due soon, but for now we’ll focus on what the USO has been able to achieve. In the meantime, the USO gap is slowly continuing to shrink, thanks to the expansion of 4G<\/a> coverage (SRN) and the rural gigabit vouchers (Project Gigabit) etc.<\/p>\n

The USO Report<\/strong> (May 2022)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Overall, by the end of March 2022, BT<\/a> had built a USO connection to over 4,600 premises, with more than 2,300 further builds in progress. The number of USO requests has risen sharpy since the end of last year, although after checking a significant proportion of these are often found to be ineligible for the obligation (e.g. in March 2022 alone there were 695 USO requests, yet well over half of those are often ruled ineligible).<\/p>\n

As for confirmed orders, it’s noted that BT<\/a> has generally been delivering these within slightly over 12 months (Ofcom<\/a> allows up to 24 months for total build completion). But around 2% of the provisioned lines have suffered faults, and fault repair times for those tend to vary between around 30 to 100 hours.<\/p>\n

The current report only covers the period between 1st October 2021 and 31st March 2022, but you can check out last year’s report for data that goes back further (here<\/a>). Aside from that, the latest report doesn’t say very much and is largely just a broad statistical update on the USO’s progress – see below:<\/p>\n
