The figures in this update are not directly comparable to the figures published in BDUK&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/09\/bduk-issue-annual-update-on-uk-project-gigabit-broadband-progress.html\">official statistics releases<\/a>; they track the number of contracted premises to which the supplier has delivered a gigabit-capable connection, whereas the official statistics report on the number of premises that have received a gigabit-capable connection as a result of public <abbr title=\"Building Digital UK\">BDUK<\/abbr> subsidy (i.e. those also cover other schemes, like vouchers etc.).<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Project Gigabit is technology neutral, although Fibre-to-the-Premises (<a class=\"shortlink shortlink-110 shortlink-chref\" title=\"fttp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_fibre_optic.php\">FTTP<\/a>) is preferred.<\/div>\n<p>At present over 88% of UK premises can already access a gigabit-capable network (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/06\/uk-coverage-of-gigabit-broadband-nears-88-percent-in-first-half-of-2025.html\">here<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> separately forecasts that this could hit c.97% by May 2027 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/09\/ofcom-predict-98-percent-of-uk-covered-by-gigabit-broadband-in-may-2027.html\">here<\/a>). Most of this has been delivered by commercial deployments (predominantly focused on urban and semi-urban areas), but there are some areas in the final 10-20% of premises that are simply too expensive for commercial providers to tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Project Gigabit was originally established in 2021 to help extend broadband ISP networks capable of delivering download speeds of at least 1000Mbps (1Gbps) to achieve \u201c<em>nationwide<\/em>\u201d coverage (c.99%) by <del>2030<\/del> 2032 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/06\/govs-2025-spending-review-delays-uk-gigabit-broadband-target-to-2032.html\">here<\/a>) \u2013 focusing on the commercially unviable areas (usually rural and semi-rural locations).

For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s cross-regional (Type C) deployments are some of the most recent ones &#8211; awarded between 2024 and 2025, while the contracts for North Dorset (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wessexinternet\" target=\"_blank\">Wessex Internet<\/a>), Teesdale (GoFire) and a few others are the oldest and awarded all the way back in 2022.

the consolidation.<\/p>\n<p>The above is an example of why it&#8217;s important to understand the context behind each contract before judging its delivery progress, since a face-value assessment will overlook some of the realities.
