New data has revealed that the Essex town of Braintree in England, which is home to just 56,000 people, has become the first location in the UK to show areas where five different gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband ISP networks have overbuilt each other.<\/p>\n

At present most of the country already has a significant number of competitive areas for full fibre networks (the physical infrastructure layer), although this usually involves more sustainable overbuild between 2 or 3 different networks. But we’ve also been seeing a growing number of places with as many as 4 networks being present in exactly the same place.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> A previous study by Point Topic<\/a> predicted that 75% of the UK would have a choice of three gigabit-capable broadband networks by 2030 (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

However, we already know of several locations where 5 or more FTTP<\/a> networks are currently deploying, although until now we hadn’t seen any places where all five of those had physically built across the exact same part of a specific location (often it might be 1-2 in one part of the location and 3-4 in another etc.). Patchwork is the word of the day here.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the latest data from Thinkbroadband<\/a> reveals that a small but growing patch of 425 premises in Braintree can now access a service from five different full fibre networks, including Nexfibre<\/a> (Virgin Media<\/a>), Openreach<\/a>, SwishFibre, Lightspeed Broadband<\/a> and Gigaclear<\/a>. The figure rises to 3,629 premises when looking at parts of the town where four networks have overbuilt. Hyperoptic<\/a> are also present, but not in the key area.<\/p>\n

“Looking at the Braintree exchange 24,930 premises have one or more full-fibre broadband option and 3,115 properties still don’t have any full-fibre available, giving a FTTP<\/a> availability of 88.8%. Looking at the wider Braintree District council which includes more rural locations the full-fibre availability drops to 66.1%<\/em>,” said TBB.<\/p>\n

The progress is impressive, but such a high level of overbuild is not without risk because it means more operators chasing the same limited supply of customers. Such an outcome is a particular problem in the current market, where most network operators are already under strain from a combination of issues, such as rising costs (build, leases etc.), aggressive competition from rivals (e.g. overbuild) and the related need to secure a viable level of take-up in order to satisfy investors.<\/p>\n

News about jobs losses and build slowdowns became common headlines during 2023 and that only seems likely to get worse during 2024, with the spectre of consolidation looming large for a growing number of players. High levels of overbuild can sometimes also mean more disruption for residents, although in practice a lot of Alternative Networks (AltNets) end up sharing Openreach<\/a>’s existing ducts and poles.<\/p>\n

One risk here is that some players – those that suffer a significant level of overbuild – may, over time, see the value of the fibre they have in the ground diminish to the point where, in the event of a need to consolidate, finding a buyer becomes much harder \u2013 raising the risk of a damaging collapse (fibre in the ground currently still holds a lot of value).<\/p>\n

Ofcom<\/a> has thus been keeping an open mind with respect to a revised Supplier of Last Resort<\/strong> process in case of any failures (here<\/a>), although even in those cases it’s likely that the more viable parts of a network (e.g. those with less competition \/ overbuild) are likely to be saved by competing players. One way or the other, natural market dynamics and competition will sort all of this out.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, consumers in a growing section of Braintree can enjoy the benefits that having an abundance of network choice tend to bring. Saving money being one of the biggest.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 11:51am<\/strong><\/p>\n

We should point out that Braintree may not be the only such location, but rather the first one that TBB itself has been able to spot and confirm as live (Ready for Service). For example, a small part of Sandhurst<\/strong> (GU47 0ZD) appears to have coverage from Openreach<\/a>, Virgin Media<\/a>, Trooli<\/a>, Zzoomm<\/a> and Swish Fibre (credits to Marcus at the Better Internet Dashboard<\/a> for that).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
