ISPreview.co.uk has also been able to obtain an exclusive map that splits the presence of fibre FTTx and cable (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/docsis\">DOCSIS<\/a>) networks.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The new report claims that fixed line superfast broadband (30Mbps+) services were, at the end of 2012, available to 70% of households in the UK (note: it&#8217;s\u00a0currently a few points higher at around 74%) and we&#8217;re told that coverage could reach <strong>90.8% by the end of 2015<\/strong> (assuming the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>\/BDUK rollout doesn&#8217;t slip again). But this will fall to just 83% in Wales and 84% in South West England.<\/p>\n<p>The prediction is important because it would mean that the Government&#8217;s original target of 90% might still be met (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/07\/national-audit-office-report-scathes-broadband-delivery-uk-project.html\" target=\"_blank\">two years late? maybe not<\/a>), although this is admittedly a best case scenario. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> (BDUK) office most recently clarified that it now expected to achieve 88% coverage by the end of 2015 and 95% by 2017 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/06\/spending-review-delivers-boost-for-uk-broadband-infrastructure.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Taking a closer look<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In terms of access technology, nearly 46% of premises (13.4 million) can currently access cable services (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>) and over 55% (16.3m) could get some form of fibre \/ FTTx (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>\/P\/H); this is taken as independent of any network overlaps.<\/p>\n<p>As usual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s superfast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>\/P technologies account for the lion\u2019s share of the FTTx deployments and, at the end of June 2013, could reach 16 million premises out of a total of 20.7 million premises in enabled exchanges. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/pointtopic\" target=\"_blank\">Point Topic<\/a> estimates that, on average, around 75% of premises are activated within the enabled exchange (back in 2011 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> told us the figure was more like 85%). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s \u00a32.5bn commercial fibre rollout hopes to reach 2,000 exchanges by the spring of 2014 (66% coverage or 19 million premises passed) but they could reach 90%+ via BDUK in a few years\u2019 time.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> has shown little sign of expanding its cable platform, which is most likely due to basic to economics (significantly less demand outside of urban areas) and the fear of being labelled as an operator with Significant Market Power (SMP) by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> (i.e. becoming subject to stricter regulation).<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just BT and Virgin&#8217;s game. At the end of June 2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/pointtopic\" target=\"_blank\">Point Topic<\/a> had tracked <strong>28 active altnet fibre suppliers<\/strong> across the UK. It&#8217;s estimated that these ISPs covered around <strong>3% of premises<\/strong> in the UK and a few of them are already offering Gigabit (1000Mbps+) capable speeds, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/b4rn\" target=\"_blank\">B4RN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/hyperopticfibre\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Hyperoptic<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/gigaclear\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Gigaclear<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">CityFibre<\/a> (Gigler).<\/p>\n<p>The chart below shows the top theoretical broadband speeds available to premises in the UK (June 2013 data). Take note that this considers network overlaps and so the results reflect the fastest network (i.e. around 30% can\u2019t access a superfast service (e.g. cable) and cable would be beaten if faster <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> or AltNets are available in the area).<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" alt=\"speed of broadband services uk 2013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2013-internet-statistics\/speed_of_broadband_services_uk_2013.gif\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Standard broadband<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Point Topic&#8217;s report also contains lots of interesting information about standard broadband services. For example, it confirms that 2,546 BT exchanges serving 88% of UK homes and businesses are now enabled for WBC offering an up to 20Mbps broadband service via copper based ADSL2+ technology (up from 79% and 1,870 exchanges at the end of 2011); we know that BT also plans to reach about 92% over the next half year or so with its related WBC \/ 21CN network.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile BT&#8217;s slower <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> Max<\/strong> (up to 8Mbps) technology covers 99.9% of premises within the UK and is enabled at all but 86 telephone exchanges (73 of which are in Scotland). Practically all of those homes that reside in areas where only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> Max is available are rural (i.e. last 5-10% \/ not commercially viable to upgrade).<\/p>\n<p>By comparison <strong>Local Loop Unbundled<\/strong> (LLU) services, which allows ISPs like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> to install their own kit in BT&#8217;s exchanges for cheaper and sometimes faster ADSL2+ products, continue to rise and can now reach 92.4% of homes and businesses in the country (up from 89% at the end of 2011 and 84% at the end of 2010); this exceeds BT&#8217;s own WBC \/ 21CN roll-out.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" alt=\"availability of broadband llu uk 2013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2013-internet-statistics\/availability_of_broadband_llu_uk_2013.gif\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a>&#8217;s LLU coverage has extended to a further 1.3 million premises following the recent acquisition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> and BE Broadband&#8217;s fixed line customer base, although they&#8217;ve still not exceeded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>\u2019s reach. Overall LLU growth is slowing as commercial ISPs can only push so far into rural areas before running into issues of economic viability (much of the UK&#8217;s last 5-10% is rural).<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>The Maps<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It should be said that not all of the details in the above article have come from Point Topic&#8217;s public report and some of the information has been supplied exclusively to ISPreview.co.uk.

The following map shows the predicted presence of, rather than actual coverage penetration, for fibre based (FTTx) and cable networks.
