The latest independent data from Thinkbroadband<\/a>‘s database has revealed that alternative full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP networks (AltNets) now cover over a quarter (25.14%) of the UK, which is up from 23.64% at the end of June 2023. In terms of the top 10 locations where such networks dominate, Peterborough (84%) comes first.<\/p>\n

Just to be clear. The data from TBB is largely focused on consumer-facing AltNets (not Dark Fibre etc.) and excludes established players, such as Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2), Openreach<\/a> and KCOM<\/a>. But to be fair, some people would probably consider KCOM<\/a> to be an AltNet now and if that were so then Hull would probably top the list below.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> At the end of Q2 2023 some 53% of the UK could access a FTTP<\/a>\/B network from any operator, rising to 76% for gigabit-capable broadband – that\u2019s FTTP<\/a>\/B and Hybrid Fibre Coax combined (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

The data below also takes into account the overlapping nature of some of the roll-outs and excludes those areas where providers say service is “coming soon<\/em>” or is in a pre-order state (i.e. not yet fully live and Ready for Service [RFS] by ISPs). This is because there can often be a huge time lag between properties being covered and actually going live – the only service that matters here the one you can actually take.<\/p>\n

Take note that nexfibre<\/a>’s FTTP coverage, despite technically being an AltNet too, is currently measured as being part of Virgin Media<\/a> – at least until we see some other ISPs going wholesale with related packages.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Local UK Councils with the Most AltNet FTTP Cover<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. City of Peterborough 84.00%<\/li>\n
  2. Hammersmith and Fulham 83.35%<\/li>\n
  3. Coventry District 82.13%<\/li>\n
  4. Southend-on-Sea 77.70%<\/li>\n
  5. City of Westminster 77.34%<\/li>\n
  6. Milton Keynes 77.31%<\/li>\n
  7. Tower Hamlets 74.48%<\/li>\n
  8. Hyndburn District 73.54%<\/li>\n
  9. Newham 73.54%<\/li>\n
  10. Aberdeen City 72.96%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The AltNets having the greatest impact above are almost certainly the biggest players, such as CityFibre<\/a> (2.3 million estimated premises), CommunityFibre<\/a> (1.1 million), Hyperoptic<\/a> (1 million) and Netomnia<\/a> (YouFibre<\/a> – 556,000). You can see a list of the largest 17 AltNets by estimated real-world coverage in our earlier article (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

    Many of the above locations are naturally urban ones (stronger commercial viability) and so these providers will be bringing additional, as well as often being cheaper and faster, gigabit-capable network choices to local homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
