The internet provider has so far helped to build a USO connection to over 7,954 premises (up from 7,681 in Oct 2023), with 265 further builds in-progress (up from 185).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The USO, in case anybody has forgotten, is a legally-binding and industry-funded obligation that falls on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> across the UK, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/kcom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">KCOM<\/a> in Hull. In short, people living in areas where they can\u2019t yet receive a <strong>10Mbps<\/strong> or faster download speed, and aren\u2019t expected to be covered by such a network in the next 12-months, can request a service capable of 10Mbps+ downloads (1Mbps upload) from the aforementioned providers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> For many of those extremely remote areas, the cost of a USO connection will be significantly in excess of the industry \u00a33,400 contribution (end-users have the option to pay excess costs or decline the USO solution).<\/div>\n<p>A cost sharing model also applies here, which means that the providers will \u201c<em>calculate the total excess cost of the build and divide that between the eligible premises. If that amount is below \u00a35,000 per premises (on top of the \u00a33,400), we\u2019ll automatically split the costs<\/em>\u201c. But some areas can still end up costing hundreds of thousands of pounds, even up to \u00a31-2m, and would thus find the USO route to be unviable (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/08\/the-high-cost-of-broadband-for-uso-excluded-uk-communities.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/11\/ofcom-and-bt-adopt-changes-to-help-10mbps-broadband-uso.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> states that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/04\/ofcom-spring-2024-study-gigabit-broadband-covers-24-million-uk-homes.html\">57,000 UK premises<\/a> (0.2%) currently fall into the USO gap (i.e. those outside of suitable fixed line, fixed wireless and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> mobile coverage), which rises to around 400,000 premises if you exclude wireless solutions. But the regulator expects this to fall to around 50k by September 2024, mostly as a result of upgrades via publicly funded schemes (connection vouchers, project gigabit contracts etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Just to be clear about this. Many of those who pursue the USO option via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> say they were offered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> (mobile broadband) connections via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>, but those actually considered to have been <em>delivered<\/em> under the USO itself usually get <strong>Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>).
