The European Commission<\/a> has this week published their annual 2024 ‘Broadband Coverage in Europe’ study, which reveals how the EU’s fixed gigabit broadband and 5G<\/a> mobile networks compare across all of its 27 countries, plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The EU’s main target for digital infrastructure is for every European household to have access to “high-speed internet<\/em>” coverage by the end of 2025 (defined as 100Mbps+) and gigabit (1000Mbps+) connectivity by the end of 2030. Today’s new report, which is largely based on data from last year (June 2023), is intended to help gauge the progress toward achieving those goals.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Both the EU and UK’s fixed broadband targets appear to be largely technology neutral, although Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) is preferred by both.<\/div>\n

The EU’s Broadband and Mobile Targets<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This Gigabit Society vision for 2025 relies on three main strategic objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a4 <\/b>Gigabit connectivity for all of the main socio-economic drivers;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 <\/b>uninterrupted 5G<\/a> coverage for all urban areas and major terrestrial transport paths;<\/p>\n

\u27a4 <\/b>access to connectivity offering at least 100 Mbps for all European households.<\/p>\n

The ambition of the Digital Decade is that by 2030:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a4 all European households are covered by a Gigabit network (e.g. DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 + FTTP<\/a>);<\/p>\n

\u27a4 <\/b>all populated areas are covered by 5G<\/a> (at least).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

By comparison, the UK’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme aims to extend gigabit-capable broadband to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025, before reaching nationwide coverage (c. 99%) by around 2030. The public funding for this is focused upon aiding the final 20% of hardest to reach premises, where commercial deployments may struggle.<\/p>\n

According to Ofcom<\/a>’s latest data to January 2024 (here<\/a>), some 97% of UK premises could access a 30Mbps+ (“superfast<\/em>“) connection (unchanged from 97% last year), while 80% (up from 75%) are able to access gigabit broadband (via FTTP<\/a> and DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 \/ Hybrid Fibre Coax) and that falls to 62% (up from 52%) when only looking at Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP). Take note that, in the UK, DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 largely reflects Virgin Media<\/a>’s urban Hybrid Fibre Coax (cable) network.<\/p>\n

As for mobile networks, over 99% of UK premises (outdoor) have access to 4G<\/a> and between 85-92% of premises can access 5G from at least one operator (up from 76-85%) – falling to 16-28% in 5G areas where all four operators exist (up from 12-22%).<\/p>\n

However, it’s important to stress that the EU’s comparative data below is about 6 months older than Ofcom<\/a>’s latest data above, which is why the figures for the UK come in a little bit lower.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The EU’s reference to Very High-Capacity Networks (VHCN) means FTTP & DOCSIS 3.1, much like “gigabit-capable<\/em>” does in the UK.<\/div>\n

\"EU-Digital-Decade-Progress-2024\"<\/p>\n

\"EU-Digital-Decade-Progress-vs-UK-2024\"<\/p>\n

Overall, the EU27 appears to be in a roughly similar sort of place to the United Kingdom, with total FTTP coverage of 64%, gigabit (VHCN) broadband coverage of 78.8% and 5G population coverage of 89.3%. But we do have to remember that quite a few EU states have been building FTTP at scale for many years longer than the UK, although we’re now catching up fast.<\/p>\n

We should point out that they also report total EU fixed NGA<\/strong> (Next Generation Access) broadband coverage of 92.9% (up from 91.5%) – this generally means fixed lines that can deliver so-called “superfast<\/em>” downloads (30Mbps+<\/strong>), which is one area where the UK – with its strong FTTC<\/a> (VDSL2<\/a>) coverage via Openreach<\/a>’s network – does tend to do better. By comparison, a lot more EU rural areas are still stuck on much slower ADSL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the main focus of the EU’s report is on 5G and gigabit \/ VHCN (FTTP + DOCSIS 3.1) coverage, with the differences between EU states and the UK becoming much clearer in these areas once we drill down to the individual country level. In both cases, the UK still resides in the bottom quarter of the table (much like last year’s report<\/a>). Check out this summary of EU country codes<\/a> if you don’t know which ones they reference.<\/p>\n

\"EU-and-UK-Gigabit-Coverage-2024\"<\/p>\n

\"1_EU-and-UK-5G-Mobile-Coverage-2024\"<\/p>\n

Despite the negatives, it’s worth remembering that the UK’s pace of FTTP build is currently one of the fastest in the world and catching up fast (here<\/a>), so it’s not all bad news. The UK’s 5G deployment also took a hit a couple of years ago when the Government decided to ban Huawei’s kit, and not to mention that our overall coverage targets in this area have historically been quite weak.<\/p>\n

Mercifully the UK government did recently set a firmer ambition for \u201call populated areas to be covered by \u2018standalone\u2019 5G (5G-plus) by 2030<\/em>\u201c (here<\/a>), although the reference toward “populated areas<\/em>” may not necessarily deliver a good % figure for geographic coverage – depending upon how they define this. Overall, the UK’s 5G targets are still a bit flaky, although EE<\/a> alone does expect to hit over 90% geographic coverage by 2028 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The full report contains a lot more data.<\/p>\n
