The latest UK summary of fixed broadband coverage for H2 2023 has found that “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>) ISP networks have grown to reach 60.54% of premises (up from 52.77% in H1 2023) and 79.86% are within reach of “gigabit<\/em>” speeds (up from 76.22%). Continue on to see details for 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 network deployments 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

NOTE:<\/strong> The government’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit scheme aims to help extend gigabit-capable networks (1Gbps+ downloads) to “at least<\/em>” 85% of premises by the end of 2025 and then “nationwide<\/em>” (c.99%) by around 2030 (here<\/a>). Most of this (c.80%) will be delivered via commercial builds.<\/div>\n

The reason why gigabit coverage is so much higher than full fibre is down to the 14.3 million premises covered by Virgin Media<\/a>’s older Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) network, which have already been upgraded to gigabit-capable DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 technology and are next being upgraded to FTTP<\/a> by 2028. But gigabit coverage now grows at a slower pace because a lot of urban focused FTTP is overbuilding that HFC and deploying full fibre from scratch takes much longer.<\/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> scheme and its subsidised rollout are starting to have a small impact on this, albeit focused on the final 20% of hardest to reach premises.<\/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), taking a satellite<\/a> connection (Starlink<\/a> is good, if you can afford it), conducting their own tests to see if a 4G<\/a> or 5G<\/a> mobile alternative might work from different operators (other than EE<\/a>) or wait for a fixed line upgrade.<\/p>\n

People taking the USO are being promised speeds of over 10Mbps, but at the end of the day 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 currently still examining support options for remote premises and are also preparing to review the USO (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Listed below is the latest independent modelling from Thinkbroadband<\/a> to the start of January 2024 (H2 – 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 H1 – 2023 result to July 2023.<\/div>\n

NOTE:<\/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 counties 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 – nearing 95% – and they’ll thus 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<\/a>. Rival AltNets were found to have covered 30.06% of the UK with FTTP by H2 2023 (up from 23.64% in H1 2023). This breaks down to 31.75% in England (up from 25.04%), 10.72% in Wales (up from 6.81%), 25.26% in Scotland (up from 19.85%) and 29.39% in Northern Ireland (up from 23.45%). 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 (Ofcom<\/a>’s own data tends to be several months behind TBBs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
