On top of that, they\u2019ve also expressed an ambition to reach up to 30m by 2030 (there are c.33m in the UK), although they&#8217;ve yet to announce their build plan for the 2027 to 2030 period (they still seem to be awaiting some regulatory and Govt policy certainty over taxation, pricing flexibility and MDU access etc.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s full fibre network has so far covered around 24 million UK premises (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2026\/07\/bt-update-openreach-lose-192k-uk-broadband-lines-as-fttp-covers-23-4m.html\">23.4m recorded in July 2026<\/a> &#8211; rising 514,000 in the quarter) and remains on-track to hit their 25m target. The service is currently seeing strong take-up of 40%.<\/div>\n<p>The new network is currently capable of delivering download speeds of up to 1.8Gbps (uploads of 1Gbps are also possible in some Project Gigabit build areas) via older <strong>GPON<\/strong> technology. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> are also busy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2026\/08\/openreach-expands-uk-rollout-of-10gbps-speed-full-fibre-xgs-pon-broadband.html\">expanding a trial<\/a> with speeds of up to <strong>8.5Gbps<\/strong> via their new <strong>XGS-PON<\/strong> based full fibre network technology, which by this time next year will be made available to \u201c<em>more than a million premises<\/em>\u201d (rising to a third of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> network over the next 5 years).<\/p>\n<p>In terms of their network deployment. Openreach has already announced their commercial roll-out plan up to the December 2026 target \u2013 reflecting around 3,525 exchanges (towns, cities, boroughs, villages and hamlets). The latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.com\/content\/dam\/openreach\/openreach-dam-files\/new-dam-(not-in-use-yet)\/documents\/where-and-when\/FF-Build-Programme-October-2026-online.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>October 2026 Build Plan<\/strong><\/a> (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.com\/fibre-broadband\/where-when-building-ultrafast-full-fibre-broadband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Interactive Map<\/strong><\/a>) thus largely represents a progress update for those locations. But take note that this only covers their commercial build and there are some big exclusions (i.e. new sites\/retro new-sites and other smaller scale programmes or infill and publicly subsidised builds under the government\u2019s BDUK linked contracts are sadly all excluded).<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing Openreach hasn&#8217;t provided ISPreview with a summary of the changes (we don&#8217;t usually get one, unless there&#8217;s been some sort of wider adjustment or system change). Despite this, we have attempted to conduct a rough and ready analysis, which may provide some useful context by comparing changes across their March and October 2026 updates.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, we identified that around 650 exchanges had change their status from &#8220;<em>Future build<\/em>&#8221; to &#8220;<em>Building already<\/em>&#8220;, while a similar number had changed from various different build status (i.e. &#8220;<em>Building already<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Building soon<\/em>&#8221; etc.) to &#8220;<em>Main build completed<\/em>&#8220;. Interestingly we also identified six exchanges that appear to have been removed from Openreach&#8217;s build plan:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Exchanges no longer listed (removed after March 2026)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Broxton<br \/>\n&#8211; Edale<br \/>\n&#8211; Hamstall Ridware<br \/>\n&#8211; Hungarton<br \/>\n&#8211; Masham<br \/>\n&#8211; Weston Zoyland<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Just remember that build plans like this are always tentative (subject to change). Some areas may be added, while others may move to later phases or possibly even be removed (e.g. if found to be too expensive due to complications). Such is normal for all network operators. Inclusion should also NOT be considered as equating to 100% coverage of each area.<\/p>\n<p>Openreach currently has around 15,000 people focused on their UK deployment of full fibre technology and the average per premises build cost is now likely to be just above the \u00a3300 mark (roughly \u00a31.2bn per year). The new service, once live, can be ordered via various ISPs, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> and many more (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2026\/04\/comparing-isp-prices-for-1gbps-broadband-on-openreachs-uk-network-2026-vs-2024.html\"><strong>Openreach FTTP ISP Choices<\/strong><\/a>) \u2013 it is not currently an automatic upgrade, although some ISPs have started to do free upgrades as older copper-based services and lines are slowly withdrawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Network operator Openreach (BT) has today published the first update to their national roll-out plan for Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP technology since March 2026, which reflects all the recent changes and progress with their existing deployment locations up to October 2026 (i.e. changes in status, removals and any small additions).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1645],"tags":[474,56,69],"class_list":["post-48473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","category-key_uk_isp_industry_developments","tag-bt","tag-fttp","tag-bt-openreach"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@ispreview\/117472143229172400","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
