The Welsh Government<\/a> (WG) has released their Q1 2023 progress update on the \u00a352.5m Phase 2 Superfast Cymru<\/strong><\/a> contract with Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>), which confirms that a total of 36,869 extra premises (up from 35,770 in Q4 2022) have now gained access to their gigabit speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network.<\/p>\n

The original plan consisted of two contracts, the first one was a \u00a322.5m<\/strong> agreement (target of 26,000 premises by March 2021 – later reduced due to the rising impact of commercial builds) and the second one was a \u00a330m<\/strong> extension (13,000 premises by June 2022<\/a>). The extension costs more per premises passed because the cost of build increases disproportionately as you tackle those increasingly remote rural areas.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The goal is to tackle some of those areas in the final c. 3% of Wales that still cannot access a \u201csuperfast<\/em>\u201d (30Mbps+) service.<\/div>\n

However, it’s important to remind readers that the WG tweaked their contract agreement with Openreach<\/a> last summer (here<\/a>), which pushed the project\u2019s completion date back to 31st March 2023<\/strong>. The number of premises to be built to under the agreed roll-out was also adjusted to 37,137, which is slightly lower than the originally anticipated 39,000 total premises.<\/p>\n

However, the aforementioned change reflects the fact that commercial fibre builds are reaching further than expected, and some areas also had to be de-scoped from the contract as they were more expensive to tackle than anticipated. But the WG still expects that the \u201ctotal number of premises to benefit from the project<\/em>\u201d may actually end up higher than 39,000 premises when the revised rollout finally finishes.<\/p>\n

According to the latest update from the WG, Openreach<\/a> has so far built their full fibre network to a total of 36,869 premises<\/strong> (up from 35,770 in Q4-22 and 34,122 in Q3-22). Some 10,616<\/span><\/span> of these are in the Lot 1 area (North West Wales), while 11,615<\/span><\/span> are in Lot 2 (East Wales) and 14,638<\/span><\/span> in Lot 3 (South West Wales). Suffice to say, contract completion is now very close, even if it is taking a bit longer.<\/p>\n

Take note that there are some edge cases below where the build may, for example, catch the odd property on the boundary of a separate local authority region and thus gets counted in the neighbouring county instead (e.g. the single figure results below).<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of premises are still expected to remain poorly served at the end of this contract, but this may yet shrink as a result of commercial builds (e.g. Openreach, Netomnia<\/a> and Ogi<\/a> are going much deeper). Some others will hopefully be tackled by the gigabit voucher scheme and community fund, while the rest might have to wait for the \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a><\/strong> programme (Welsh Plan<\/a>) to work its way toward fruition. On top of that, the WG appear to be exploring a \u00a370m project of their own (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
