Ofcom<\/a>’s Spring 2023 report into UK fixed line broadband and mobile coverage has found that “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>) now reaches 48% of the UK (up from 42% in Sept 2022), while 73% are within reach of a gigabit-capable network (up from 70%) and 73-82<\/span>%<\/span><\/span> of premises can get outdoor 5G<\/a> cover from at least one operator (up from 67<\/span>-78%<\/span><\/span>).<\/p>\n

The regulator’s latest report is based on coverage and service availability information that has been received from both fixed line UK ISPs and mobile network operators as of January 2023, which is thus several months more recent than the September 2022 data in their last Connected Nations 2022 report (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The Government’s original definition of “superfast broadband<\/em>” is 24Mbps+, which is at around 98%+ coverage.<\/div>\n

Since the last report, the UK coverage of fixed “superfast broadband<\/em>” (30Mbps+<\/strong>) networks has remained unchanged on 97%, while 14.2 million homes (48%) can now order a Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) service via various networks<\/a> (up from 42% at the last update). But Ofcom<\/a> notes that full fibre coverage has since exceeded the 50% figure in March 2023, which obviously won’t be reflected by today’s older data.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, gigabit-capable (1Gbps+<\/strong>) services are now available to 73% of the UK or 21.9 million premises (up from 70%), which is higher than the FTTP<\/a> figure because most of the gigabit connectivity has flowed from Virgin Media<\/a>’s upgrade to their existing Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) network with DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 technology (there’s a lot of overbuild between HFC and FTTP in dense urban areas).<\/p>\n

All of this work should help to support the UK Government’s new \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme, which aims to further improve the picture for gigabit speed connectivity by using state aid to target connectivity improvements toward the final 20% of hardest to reach premises (i.e. helping to extend gigabit coverage to at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025 and then around 99% “nationwide<\/em>” by 2030).<\/p>\n

However, the number of premises that cannot get a “decent broadband<\/em>” (10Mbps+<\/strong>) service is currently 435,000<\/span><\/span> (around 1.4% of the UK), which shrinks to just 68,000 (down from 83k before) if you include delivery via wireless connections (i.e. 4G<\/a>, 5G<\/a> and fixed wireless access). A download of at least 10Mbps (1Mbps upload) also represents the core specification for the UK Government’s broadband Universal Service Obligation<\/strong><\/a> (USO).<\/p>\n

Speaking of wireless services, 4G<\/a> mobile networks have seen geographic coverage across all network operators (EE<\/a>, Three UK<\/a>, O2<\/a> and Vodafone<\/a>) hold steady at a range of 80-87%. The new \u00a31bn Shared Rural Network<\/strong><\/a> (SRN) agreement will eventually start to change that, but it’s a very slow burn.<\/p>\n

Finally, on 5G<\/a> coverage, Ofcom<\/a> states that some 73-82<\/span>%<\/span><\/span> of UK premises can now get outdoor coverage by at least one operator (up from 67<\/span>-78<\/span><\/span>%), but this collapses to just 12-22% when looking at outdoor coverage by all operators combined (up slightly from 11-20%). Suffice to say, there’s a long way to go in order to extend 5G into areas outside of larger towns and cities.<\/p>\n
