The Government’s Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> project, which is predominantly working with BT<\/a> to deploy superfast “fibre broadband<\/em>” (FTTC<\/a>\/P) services across the United Kingdom, has published the programmes latest take-up figures for March 2015. Adoption continues to rise and more projects are now touching the 20% claw-back threshold.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Readers might recall that we published the first uptake summary just before Christmas using September 2014 Data<\/a> and then the second update was posted a few months later using the December 2014 Data<\/a>, which revealed that Hampshire<\/strong>, Surrey<\/strong>, North Yorkshire<\/strong> and Rutland<\/strong> had all broken the 20% uptake milestone.<\/p>\n

Understanding uptake is important because most of the related BDUK contracts have a claw-back<\/strong> mechanism, which means that take-up beyond 20% (this figure may vary between contracts) could trigger a return of some of the original investment and that can then be used to extend coverage or improve service performance.<\/p>\n

As before the following figures only reflect uptake in areas that have been upgraded through the BDUK and related state aid schemes, thus they do not include uptake achieved through purely commercial deployments (e.g. BT<\/a>\u2019s separate \u00a32.5bn roll-out of FTTC<\/a>\/P to the first 66% of the United Kingdom or Virgin Media<\/a>\u2019s cable network).<\/p>\n

The good news is that BDUK’s latest March 2015 data shows that Cambridgeshire, Peterborough<\/strong> (19.5%), Herefordshire and Gloucestershire<\/strong> (20.3%) and Northamptonshire<\/strong> (21.3%) have now effectively passed the all-important 20% threshold and others are closing fast.<\/p>\n

BDUK Phase 1 Take-up Data (March 2015) \u2013 %<\/strong><\/span>
\nBerkshire Councils – 11.2

\nSurrey – 27.1
\nWest Sussex – 14.9
\nWest Yorkshire – 10.7
\nWiltshire, South Gloucestershire – 18.7
\nWorcestershire – 12.5<\/p>\n

Devolved Administrations<\/strong><\/span>
\nHighlands and Islands – 11.6 (up from 10.3% in Dec 2014)
\nNorthern Ireland – 8.5 (up from 0.4% in Dec 2014)
\nRest of Scotland – 10.8 (up from 8.7% in Dec 2014)
\nWales – 13.7 (up from 12.7% in Dec 2014)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take note that uptake is a dynamically scaled measurement, which means that at certain stages of the scheme it may go up or down depending upon the pace of deployment and other factors; but over time the direction should only go upwards. Likewise several of the projects report far lower uptake, usually because they only began fairly recently.<\/p>\n

Some of the other issues that can impact uptake include higher prices for FTTC<\/a>\/P services (less attractive), consumers being locked into long contracts with their existing ISP (can\u2019t upgrade yet), a lack of general availability awareness or interest in the new connectivity (i.e. if you have a decent ADSL2+ speed then you might be less inclined to upgrade) and concerns over the ease of migration.<\/p>\n

Overall the results are positive and appear to be running well ahead of the Government\u2019s initial predictions, not that this would be too difficult with some early projections expecting considerably less (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). NOTE: BDUK recently reported that 2.5 million premises<\/strong> had been covered by the work up to March 2015\u00a0(here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
