The UK Government\u2019s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a> broadband rollout scheme has today awarded the local \u00a316.6m (state aid) contract for East Gloucestershire in England to ISP Gigaclear<\/a>, which will aim to extend their full fibre network to around 4,400 additional premises in hard-to-reach rural areas.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. Project Gigabit aims to extend 1Gbps (download) capable networks to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025, before aspiring to achieve \u201cnationwide<\/em>\u201d coverage (c. 99%) by 2030 (here<\/a>). Commercial investment is expected to deliver more than 80% of this, which leaves the government\u2019s scheme to focus on tackling the final 20% (mostly rural and some suburban areas), where the private sector alone often fails. The project is technology neutral, but Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) networks are strongly favoured.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Over 80% of UK premises can already access gigabit speeds (up from over 72% at the end of 2022), which drops to 60%+ when only looking at full fibre (up from 45%) \u2013 detail<\/a>.<\/div>\n

The project uses a number of different methods to tackle this challenge (e.g. vouches and investment in dark fibre builds), but the largest part of the scheme involves a gap-funded subsidy approach \u2013 the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy<\/strong> (GIS). This is where smaller local or larger regional contracts are awarded to network operators and ISPs who can help to build their gigabit-capable infrastructure across the final 20%.<\/p>\n

The East Gloucestershire<\/strong> (Lot 18) contract being announced today is a smaller “local<\/em>” deployment, which will aim to reach around 4,400 additional premises, although in an unusual move we didn’t receive any official press releases about it from either BDUK\/DSIT or Gigaclear<\/a>. Due to this, we don’t have as much information on their plans.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, we do know that the first premises under this contract are anticipated to have access to gigabit-capable broadband sometime in 2024 (yep, that’s as specific as it gets.. for now). In addition, there is a very rough map available, which sort of shows the areas due to be upgraded – seemingly using the large orange dot approach.<\/p>\n

\"Gigaclear-Project-Gigabit-East-Gloucestershire-Map\"<\/p>\n

At present, Gigaclear<\/a>’s existing full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband network, which typically focuses upon serving more rural communities, has already covered around 500,000 premises (430k Ready for Service) across parts of 26 counties in England, and they’re home to 80,000 customers. But the operator also holds an ambition to cover \u201cover<\/em>\u201d 1 million premises by 2027.<\/p>\n

Gigaclear is principally owned by Infracapital, together with Equitix and Railpen, and previously had investment commitments estimated to be worth up to around \u00a31.1bn (here<\/a>). But the provider has also recently secured a new debt facility (here<\/a>) \u2013 worth \u00a31.5bn.<\/p>\n

Residential customers on the network typically pay from \u00a317 a month (\u00a341.50 after 18-months) for a symmetric 200Mbps broadband package, which rises to \u00a349 (\u00a382 after 18-months) for their top 830Mbps plan. All packages include a wireless router and free installation.<\/p>\n

We hope to have more information once Gigaclear gets around to issuing a press release.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 9:52am<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gigaclear has just issued their official press release, which states that 18 rural communities across rural East Gloucestershire are set to benefit: Alderton, Andoversford, Aston Somerville, Brockhampton, Cold Aston, Coln St Aldwyns, Great Rissington, Hawling, Kemble, Lower Slaughter, Miserden, North Cerney, Quenington, Stanton, Tarlton, Teddington, Upper Slaughter, Woodmancote.<\/p>\n

Survey work is due to get underway in the spring, with the build due to begin in the autumn. The work is due to be completed by spring 2027.<\/p>\n

Gigaclear CEO, Gareth Williams, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI welcome the award of this latest contract as it reinforces the important role Gigaclear is playing in helping the Government achieve its wider broadband roll-out ambitions. Gigaclear has been working with the government in Gloucestershire since 2015, connecting approximately 27,000 premises on behalf of Fastershire, the county\u2019s digital partnership with Herefordshire. When added to our commercial build footprint in the county, Gigaclear\u2019s network in Gloucestershire extends to almost 75,000 rural homes and businesses.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The release also notes that they’re now home to 95,000 customers, which is a good jump from last time.<\/p>\n
