Network operator CityFibre<\/a> has today announced that their 10Gbps capable full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network now covers 3 million UK premises (up from 2.5m in January 2023) and 2.6 million of those are considered to be \u2018Ready For Service\u2019 (up from 2.2m), which means that residents can place an order with one of around 35-40 ISPs.<\/p>\n

The build forms part of the operator’s original ambition to cover up to 8 million premises (funded by c.\u00a32.4bn in equity and c.\u00a34.9bn debt) \u2013 across over 285 cities, towns and villages (c.30% of the UK) \u2013 by the end of 2025 (here<\/a>). Once completed, this is also expected to include coverage for over 800k businesses, 400k public sector sites and 250k 5G<\/a> access points. The work is supported by various UK ISPs, such as Vodafone<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>, Giganet and Zen Internet<\/a> etc.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> CityFibre<\/a> is owned by Antin Infrastructure Partners, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Mubadala Investment Company and Interogo Holding.<\/div>\n

CityFibre<\/a> began the construction of its access network in 2018, commencing mobilisation in its first 12 towns and cities and has since achieved primary build complete status in multiple locations including Milton Keynes, Stirling, Peterborough and Coventry. In its most mature locations, such as Milton Keynes, ISP partners are now approaching 30% take-up, with other locations growing on a similar trajectory.<\/p>\n

The operator is also in the process of upgrading their entire GPON based Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) network to XGS-PON<\/strong>, which can handle broadband speeds of up to 10Gbps (Gigabits per second). As part of that, they recently launched a new 2.5Gbps tier for consumers (here<\/a>), which some providers are already offering as a trial product.<\/p>\n

By the end of 2023, CityFibre expects to have deployed its XGS-PON equipment into over 90% of its fibre exchanges with the new 2.5Gbps product becoming available to around 20% of its ready for service footprint, currently.<\/p>\n

Sir John Whittingdale, Minister for Data and Digital Infrastructure, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Millions of homes and businesses from Milton Keynes to Stirling now have access to ultra-fast, reliable broadband and 5G<\/a> thanks to CityFibre\u2019s delivery of the Government\u2019s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit.<\/p>\n

Having access to fast broadband is a crucial part of our plan to boost economic growth and level up communities, with more than 76% of properties in the UK now able to connect to gigabit-capable broadband.<\/p>\n

We are confidently moving towards achieving our goal of 85% coverage throughout the UK by 2025 and universal coverage by 2030 and it\u2019s the efforts of providers like CityFibre that will help us get there.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just to be clear, Project Gigabit is focused upon rural areas and the final 20% of hardest to reach premises, and thus the Government are perhaps being a bit misleading above by conflating progress under that programme with Cityfibre’s entirely separate commercial builds in Milton Keynes to Stirling. Likewise, while their Dark Fibre may be helping to support some 5G<\/a> networks, they aren’t themselves building 5G mobile.<\/p>\n

For context. Cityfibre only recently secured four Project Gigabit contract awards (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), totalling \u00a3387m in government subsidies to reach 262,000 homes in different parts of the UK (e.g. Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Hampshire). This has been supported by nearly \u00a3223m of committed private investment, representing a combined total investment in Project Gigabit\u2019s target areas of \u00a3610m. Within its existing home build programme, CityFibre will also complement its Project Gigabit rollouts in the four counties with expansion to an additional 453,000 premises. But the build phase for this is only now getting started.<\/p>\n

Greg Mesch, Chief Executive Officer at CityFibre, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We have made phenomenal progress this year, matching our performance from last year, and we on track to deliver another million ready for service homes to customers this year.<\/p>\n

With an infrastructure project of this size, we have successfully adapted as the market has changed and will continue to fine-tune our rollout in order to meet our targets moving forward. I\u2019m delighted that thanks to our investment, 3m homes now have access to world class digital infrastructure and we look forward to connecting many more as our rollout progresses.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, it’s worth noting that the current pace of build is not progressing fast enough to achieve their original target of having 8 million premises “substantially completed<\/em>” by the end of 2025 (a vague term that allows some flexibility on targets), which perhaps helps to explain why today’s press release makes no mention of the 2025 date. At the current pace, something around 4-5 million premises seems more likely.<\/p>\n

CityFibre is naturally under many of the same pressures as almost everybody else in this market, such as rising build costs, competition (aggressive pricing and overbuild by rivals etc.) and need to generate a viable level of take-up in order to satisfy investors. This is partly why the start of 2023 has already seen several hundred job losses (here<\/a>), but they’re still rolling out and claim to be confident in their plan.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the operator has previously signalled that they’re also looking to grow their coverage through further acquisitions or partnerships, which is despite potentially becoming a consolidation target themselves – VMO2 \/ nexfibre<\/a> are alleged to have shown some interest, but we’ve seen little concrete movement on that.<\/p>\n

The operator\u2019s latest annual accounts<\/strong><\/a> revealed that they ended 2022 in somewhat of a mixed position, with good network growth (2.2m RFS homes in 2022 vs 1.2m in 2021) and sharply rising take-up (174.4k consumer connections vs 60.9k). But operating losses also more than doubled to \u00a3114.8m (2021: \u00a342.3m) and the cost of servicing the company\u2019s debts went in a similar direction (mainly due to them holding a much larger debt pile after last year\u2019s \u00a34.9bn debt raise<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
