Network access provider Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has revealed that their 1.8Gbps capable UK Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network now covers a total of 949,000 properties in Scotland (up from 800,000 in mid-March 2023), which is estimated to have cost them around \u00a3280m (assumes an average of \u00a3300 per premises passed).<\/p>\n

The vast majority of their full fibre build in Scotland reflects their own commercial investment, but it should be said that they\u2019re also covering some areas with support from Gigabit Broadband Vouchers and the Scottish Government<\/a>’s \u00a3600m Reaching 100% (R100<\/strong>) project. The latter will ultimately aim to upgrade another 115,000 of Scotland\u2019s hardest-to-reach premises by 2028 (they\u2019ve already delivered 24,194 premises<\/a> of that target).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The operator\u2019s up to \u00a315bn FTTP<\/a> network currently covers over 11 million UK premises, but they aim to reach 25m by December 2026 (80%+) – including 6.2m in rural areas. Currently building at a rate of 55,000 premises per week.<\/div>\n

Some of the latest areas to benefit from Openreach<\/a>’s wider roll-out include the large North Lanarkshire village of Shotts<\/strong> and the similarly sized Dumfriesshire town of Annan<\/strong>, where work to build the new full fibre network has just begun. Both builds are expected to reach the majority of local homes and businesses over the next 18-24 months. Take-up in Scotland currently sits at around 30% on their new network.<\/p>\n

Robert Thorburn, Openreach<\/a>\u2019s Partnership Director for Scotland, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“[Shotts and Annan are] part of our balanced build across Scotland, which includes more than 200 rural towns and villages. We want to make sure that progress is evenly spread and that people in all parts of Scotland can be online effortlessly and build opportunities in their community. Connecting everyone in Scotland to our fastest and most reliable broadband would result in a multi-billion pound economic boost.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, we\u2019re still waiting to hear how the UK government\u2019s Project Gigabit<\/strong> funding for Scotland (aka – LOT 39<\/strong>) will be handled, although the first procurements should launch sometime this autumn. Some 447,170 premises<\/strong> across Scotland are currently predicted to need support from public funding to help them gain access to a gigabit-capable (1000Mbps) broadband network (here<\/a>), which could rise if existing plans (inc. commercial builds) fall short.<\/p>\n

Naturally, in order to benefit from the new network, you\u2019ll need to order the service from a supporting ISP like BT<\/a>, Sky Broadband<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a>, Zen Internet<\/a>, iDNET<\/a>, AAISP and many more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
