The FTTH Council Europe<\/a> has today released their 2023 ranking of the European countries with the strongest take-up and annual growth of gigabit-capable “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>\/H\/B) broadband ISP networks. Once again, the United Kingdom continues to see exceptional growth (42% in homes passed) over the past year.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, it’s still a slow climb for the UK to catch up with countries that have been building FTTP<\/a>\/B at scale for many years longer. <\/span>Until fours years ago, the UK didn’t even appear in the council’s ranking, but the massive and predominantly commercial rollout of Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) networks has rapidly changed all that (Summary of Full Fibre Builds<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The UK has now passed the 50% full fibre coverage mark (here<\/a>), but the council’s report gives a lower figure of 42% as it’s based on older data (September 2022).<\/div>\n

Just for context. Back in 2021 the UK had an annual FTTP growth rate (homes passed) of 1.7 Million extra premises, rising to 3.4 Million added in 2022 and in this year’s report we’ve hit 51% (+4.2 Million) – we suspect that this may be somewhat of a peak and future years won’t change as much. The other fastest growing countries of the year in Europe (EU39) were France (+3.5 M), Turkey (+2.9 M), and Italy (+2.1 M).<\/p>\n

Much of this progress has been fostered by the Government’s increased support for “gigabit-capable<\/em>” networks, such as via their connection voucher schemes, various other funding programmes (here<\/a>) and regulatory improvements via Ofcom<\/a> to support investment (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, most of the coverage achieved so far still reflects commercial builds in urban areas and this is expected to help push UK coverage up to around 80% by the end of 2025 (e.g. Openreach<\/a>’s build alone should hit 25 million premises by December 2026, and they’re just one of many players). After that, the Government’s new state aid funded \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> aims to tackle the final 20% of hardest to reach (predominantly rural) premises by 2030.<\/p>\n

The 2023 FTTH Country Ranking<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The latest data shows that the UK now has a market penetration rate of 11.1% (up from 6.3% last year), a coverage figure of 42% or 12.4 million homes passed (up from 26.6% and 7.7m) and a take-up rate of 27% (up from 24% last year) – the latter reflects an annual growth in subscribers of 81% or +1.5 million (up from 73%).<\/p>\n

On the subject of take-up – markets where FTTP\/B is already at a mature level of deployment will naturally have significantly higher take-up, while those where the technology is still in the early process of rapid deployment – like the UK – often appear further behind (i.e. the pace of build is so fast that it suppresses the take-up figure, when expressed as a percentage).<\/p>\n

\"ftth-european-country-ranking-2023-uk\"<\/p>\n

\"ftth-european-country-take-up-ranking-2023-uk\"<\/p>\n

Overall, the total number of homes passed with FTTP\/B style broadband networks in the 39 European countries surveyed reached 219 million (up from 198.4 million last year). The top 5 of the annual growth rates in terms of homes passed is headed by Belgium (+60%), the United Kingdom (+51%), Serbia (+40%), The Netherlands (+34.7%), and Greece (+34.5%).<\/p>\n

The overall FTTH<\/a>\/B coverage rate in the EU39 now amounts to 62.2% (up by 5 percentage points vs 2021). We should add that Russia and Belarus were, once again, excluded from this year’s study.<\/p>\n

\"ftth-european-country-homes-passed-ranking-2023-uk\"<\/p>\n

The number of FTTH<\/a> and FTTB subscribers in the EU39 region also reached 108 million. The 5 fastest growing markets in terms of new subscribers were France (+3.3 M), United Kingdom (+1.5 M), Spain (+1.1 M), Turkey (+898k), and Italy (+822k).<\/p>\n

\"ftth-european-country-subscribers-ranking-2023-uk\"<\/p>\n

In terms of future progress, the council’s report notes that the UK, Germany and Italy still have a long way to go in terms of build, but the UK is forecast to reach 16.8 million homes passed by the end of 2023 (up 35%) and then 30.7 million by the end of 2028 (up by 148% between 2023 and 2028).<\/p>\n

In terms of subscribers, the UK is predicted to end 2023 with a total of 4.9 million full fibre subscribers (up by 49% in the year), which will rise to 13.50 million by the end of 2028 (up by 311% between 2023 and 2028). But we should point out that, ultimately, the vast majority of premises will be shifted to full fibre as older copper lines and analogue phone services are gradually retired over the next decade or so.<\/p>\n

\"ftth-european-country-coverage-forecast-2028-uk\"<\/p>\n

Alternative networks (Cityfibre<\/a>, CommunityFibre<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a> etc.) are still constituting the largest part of FTTH<\/a>\/B players, with around 56% of the total homes in the EU39 being passed by AltNet ISPs. But this is down slightly from 57% last year, as the FTTH Council Europe has observed that incumbent operators are starting to “close the gap<\/em>” (39%). The remaining 4% being municipalities\/utilities.<\/p>\n

In terms of rural areas. The report shows that by September 2022, only 41% of rural inhabitants could enjoy the capabilities offered by full-fibre connectivity (compared to the average number of 56% of European households in the EU27+UK region that are covered by FTTH\/B networks).<\/p>\n

The five countries with the highest Rural FTTH\/B coverage are Denmark (86%), Romania (83%), Latvia (77%), Spain (74%), and Portugal (70%).<\/p>\n

Eric Festraets, President of the FTTH Council Europe, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The most recent market figures show that we are on the right track to achieve the ambitious connectivity targets set by the European Commission for 2030. However, the data demonstrate that efforts are still required to convince subscribers to choose fibre. Take-up rates are too low in many countries and demand drivers are multiple and complex, and require attention from policymakers as well as service providers.<\/p>\n

We rely on policymakers to support the rollout in areas where there is no viable commercial business case and encourage governments and regulators to keep on creating an environment which is favourable to healthy competition and attractive for private investors.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite all this good progress, it\u2019s worth remembering that slower hybrid fibre and copper line based broadband services (FTTC<\/a>, ADSL<\/a> etc.) will still be around for a fair few years. The Government’s Project Gigabit scheme is also technology neutral, which means that it can be achieved via the combination of other gigabit technologies too, such as Virgin Media<\/a>’s Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) network and wireless solutions.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, most new deployments today are primarily focused on fostering full fibre services, which remains the technology of choice for the bulk of new contracts. But the UK is still playing catch-up with many other countries, most of which have been deploying full fibre, at scale, for a decade or so longer than we have. The only advantage to arriving late is that we benefit from more mature technologies and deployment methods.<\/p>\n

One final point to make is that country-to-county comparisons never tell the whole story. For example, some countries have funded the deployment of fibre almost entirely from public money, while offering very little in the way of competition (e.g. weak consumer choice). Meanwhile, other countries have a significantly larger proportion of people living in large blocks of flats (e.g. Spain, Portugal), which are much cheaper to serve than countries with a greater proportion of individual houses (e.g. the UK).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
