The latest biannual summary of UK fixed broadband coverage for H1 2023 has found that “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>) ISP networks have surged to reach 52.77% of premises (up from 45.13% in H2 2022) and 76.22% are within reach of “gigabit<\/em>” speeds (up from 72.66%). Read on for details of England, Wales, Scotland and N.Ireland.<\/p>\n

At present virtually all of this new gigabit (1000Mbps+<\/strong> or 1Gbps+<\/strong>) class connectivity is coming from Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) based networks via Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>), Virgin Media<\/a>, KCOM<\/a>, Hyperoptic<\/a>, CityFibre<\/a>, CommunityFibre<\/a>, G.Network<\/a>, Netomnia<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a> and many others (Summary of Full Fibre Builds<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

The reason why gigabit coverage is so much higher than full fibre is because the 14.3 million premises covered by Virgin Media<\/a>’s older Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) network were upgraded to gigabit-capable DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 technology between 2019 and the end of 2021. But gigabit coverage now grows at a slower pace because a lot of urban focused FTTP<\/a> builds are overbuilding that HFC.<\/p>\n

Most of the progress on gigabit-capable coverage during 2023 is still down to commercial investment in FTTP, often with only a little support from the Government’s various voucher schemes. But the \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> (F20) programme and its subsidised rollout contracts are starting to have a tiny impact on this, which we expect to grow over the next few years.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, those still stuck in sub-10Mbps areas will, for the time being, be left with little option but to either try harnessing the flawed 10Mbps Universal Service Obligation<\/strong><\/a> (USO), take a satellite<\/a> connection (Starlink<\/a> is good, if you can afford it) or wait for a fixed line upgrade. People taking the USO are being promised speeds of over 10Mbps (often via 4G<\/a> rather than fibre), but some of those will find that they live in areas where not even the USO can cover the colossal upgrade costs (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). The government are still examining support options for remote premises.<\/p>\n

Listed below is the latest independent modelling from Thinkbroadband<\/a> to July 2023 (H1 – 2023). We should point out that the figure for ‘Under 10Mbps<\/em>‘ doesn’t reflect 4G<\/a> mobile coverage, which plays a part in the official USO but isn’t included in TBB’s mapping work. Sadly, it’s incredibly difficult to do an accurate model for mobile coverage, especially in terms of a specific performance level.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The figures in brackets (%) represent the previous H2 – 2022 result from Jan 2023.<\/div>\n

NOTE 1:<\/strong> <\/span>Much of the gigabit coverage is coming from Virgin Media<\/a>’s existing HFC cable network, although Openreach<\/a>, Hyperoptic<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a>, Cityfibre<\/a> and many others all have big “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP) expansion plans. But there’s a lot of overbuild between HFC and FTTP, so future progress post-2021 has been slower now that VM have completed their upgrade.<\/p>\n

NOTE 2:<\/strong><\/span> It’s very important to remember that Government \/ political coverage targets, like 85% for gigabit by 2025, reflect a national average, which can of course be better or worse for some areas (e.g. some may achieve higher coverage, while others could be well below that).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take note that each devolved region (Scotland, Wales etc.) may have its own policy and targets, which all feed into the central UK figure. For example, while Northern Ireland<\/strong> may be behind on superfast speeds, their full fibre coverage is far ahead of other regions – exceeding 90% – and they’ll also be one of the first to achieve near universal coverage of gigabit speeds.<\/p>\n

We also think it’s worth highlighting how much of an impact newer alternative networks (AltNets) are having on all this. Excluding coverage by Openreach<\/a>, KCOM<\/a> and Virgin Media, rival AltNets alone were found to have covered 23.64% of the UK with FTTP by H1 2023 (up from 18.20% in H2 2022). This breaks down to 25.04% in England (up from 19.29%), 6.81% in Wales (up from 3.79%), 19.85% in Scotland (up from 16.74%) and 23.45% in Northern Ireland (up from 15.74%). But the overall coverage impact will be lower due to overbuild, particularly in urban areas.<\/p>\n

As stated earlier, this data is an estimate and should be taken with a pinch of salt, not least because it won’t always reflect the very latest real-world position. But it’s still one of the best and most up-to-date gauges that we have for checking against official claims (official figures tend to be a tiny bit higher than TBB’s data due to differences in data modelling etc.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
