Network operator CityFibre<\/a> has announced that their gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network now covers 2.5 million UK premises (up from 2m in September 2022) and 2.2 million of those are considered to be ‘Ready For Service’ (up from 1.8m), which means that residents can place an order with one of their 36 ISPs (up from 30).<\/p>\n

All of this forms part of Cityfibre<\/a>\u2019s wider effort to cover up to 8 million premises (funded by c.\u00a32.4bn in equity and c.\u00a34.9bn debt) – across over 285 cities, towns and villages (c.30% of the UK) – by the end of 2025 (here<\/a>). Once completed, this is expected to include coverage for over 800k businesses, 400k public sector sites and 250k 5G<\/a> access points too. The operator also intends to grow into rural areas via the \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> rollout.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Cityfibre is supported by ISPs like Vodafone<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a> (Future Fibre<\/strong><\/a>), Zen Internet<\/a>, Giganet, iDNET<\/a> and more, but they aren\u2019t all live or available in every area yet.<\/div>\n

Just to be clear, the 300,000 difference between the build total of 2.5m and the RFS total of 2.2m reflects locations where CityFibre says their network has been built, but ISPs have yet to adopt it; there\u2019s usually a time lag between going live and ensuring ISPs can deliver to those same areas.<\/p>\n

Overall, Cityfibre said their network footprint increased by 83% in 2022, with rollout now underway in 75 metropolitan areas. In the second half of 2022, it claims to have achieved an average run rate of 22,000 premises passed per week<\/strong>, “reflecting a major increase in network construction<\/em>” (indeed, since around mid-2022, they’ve generally been adding about 100k premises every month).<\/p>\n

The network also added 115,000 new residential broadband customers to its network in the year, which brings their total to over 175,000 – almost doubling the rate of the previous year. This reflects a take-up of around 7%, which is low but not too unusual for a network that is still in the rapid ramp-up phase of build. But it would have been nice to get some figures for business FTTP<\/a> customers too.<\/p>\n

The operator said this meant their penetration rate is “on target across all locations<\/em>,” with “mature networks<\/em>” (examples below) said to now be exceeding the much higher figure of 27% in some locations. As we always say, in order to correctly judge take-up, you have to wait a couple of years post-deployment in order to allow time for awareness to rise and organic growth among consumers etc.<\/p>\n

On average, CityFibre\u2019s mature networks are said to be increasing their take-up by about 1% per month. In Stirling, for example, penetration has exceeded 23% and in Milton Keynes, its most mature network footprint, penetration has now passed 27%.<\/p>\n

Greg Mesch, Chief Executive Officer at CityFibre, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re delighted at the huge progress we\u2019ve made over the course of last year. We now have a fully financed rollout, fully mobilised supply chain and an established portfolio of onboarded ISP partners. After years of constant scaling, we are now entering a new phase of our development where we can focus on efficiencies and optimising our operations at scale.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CityFibre has done a good job of slowly, but methodically, turning itself into the UK’s third major gigabit-broadband infrastructure provider, after Openreach<\/a> and Virgin Media<\/a>, although they still face many challenges. One of the problems is with Openreach<\/a>’s recently proposed FTTP price cuts (here<\/a>), which threaten their own wholesale products. But that is itself a reflection of the fact that alternative networks (AltNets) in general are being even more aggressive on FTTP price.<\/p>\n

The operator is also busy upgrading its older GPON network to harness 10Gbps capable XGS-PON technology (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). This is important because, as the UK’s full fibre market starts to mature, we’d expect a rush of providers to launch even faster multi-gigabit broadband packages, whether you need them or not. Some have already done this (e.g. B4RN<\/a>, CommunityFibre<\/a> and Zzoomm<\/a>), but others will soon follow.<\/p>\n

For example, Openreach are currently conducting pilots of a new FTTP tier that offers speeds of 1.8Gbps, while Virgin Media<\/a> has conducted several trials of a 2.2Gbps connection. As full fibre coverage grows, then differences in speed will once again become more of a marketing point to help drive sales.<\/p>\n
