Network access provider Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has issued a progress update on their \u00a3210m investment (up from \u00a3180m in January 2023) to deploy a gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network across Wales, which reveals that they’ve now covered over 700,000 premises (up from 600k).<\/p>\n

The deployment forms part of Openreach<\/a>’s wider \u00a315bn<\/strong> investment to cover 25 million UK premises (80%+ of the UK) by December 2026, including 6.2 million in rural and semi-rural areas (here<\/a>). So far the operator has already completed coverage for over 10.3 million premises (3m in the hardest to reach rural areas) and is building across the UK at a rate of c.54,000 premises per week.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The operator has a workforce of around 2,300 people in Wales.<\/div>\n

The latest milestone, that’s seen more than 200,000 Welsh properties gaining access to ultrafast FTTP<\/a> broadband in just 12 months, is not the end of the story. More areas are set to benefit, with engineers now starting work to extend the full fibre network even further to most homes and businesses in areas such as Criccieth, Pencoed, Llangennech and Porthmadog.<\/p>\n

Most of the rollout in Wales reflects Openreach<\/a>’s commercial investment, but that has also been complemented by their \u00a352.5m state-aid supported Phase 2 Superfast Cymru<\/strong><\/a> contract with the Welsh Government<\/a>, which may ultimately benefit 39,000 premises once fully completed (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Martin Williams, Partnership Director for Openreach in Wales, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Connecting 700,000 properties in Wales with access to full fibre broadband is an incredible achievement that showcases Openreach’s unwavering commitment to building a digitally inclusive nation. Over the last 12 months we\u2019ve been expanding our network to just under 4,000 properties every week. That\u2019s the equivalent of connecting a town the size of Haverfordwest or St Asaph every single week.<\/p>\n

To make this happen our engineers are out in all kinds of weather across every part of Wales – both urban and rural \u2013 to build a network that is not only essential to the future prosperity of our country enabling businesses to compete globally and individuals to fully harness the benefits of digital services.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth remembering that upgrades aren\u2019t automatic. People need to place an order with their chosen providers to get connected and we\u2019ll do the rest. Our network offers the widest choice of providers such as BT<\/a>, Sky Broadband<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a> and Zen Internet<\/a> – which means people have lots of choice and can get a great deal.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, it\u2019s worth noting that last year\u2019s Public Review<\/a> of coverage in Wales also identified that a total of 327,174 premises might ultimately need state aid help via the UK Government’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a><\/strong> scheme in order to access gigabit-capable broadband connections in the future, which rises to 984,806 premises (i.e. an additional 657,632) if you include \u201cUnder Review<\/em>\u201d areas into the total (i.e. planned commercial builds that are potentially at risk of not being completed).<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, there\u2019s plenty of work left to do for all operators, particularly Openreach, Netomnia<\/a> (YouFibre<\/a>), Virgin Media<\/a> and Ogi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
