An interim Ofcom Connected Nations report is reporting UK full fibre coverage has reached 8% of premises but we published a figure of 9.1% just a few days ago, we explore the reasons for the difference.
Residents in Devon and Somerset who had been waiting on Gigaclear to roll-out FTTP to them as their superfast broadband solution are going to be very upset as the council has cancelled the contracts after various delays.
While the most of the village of Ascott under Wychwood had access to VDSL2 those who have gained most from the roll-out in the area are those in the outlying properties.
Another of our round ups of what we are seeing in terms of the Openreach FTTP roll-out and specifically how much is being seen in new build, gap funded areas or is distinctly Fibre First.
The question about who you trust more i.e. a browser manufacturer or your broadband ISP is being debated again, as Mozilla is heading towards making DNS over HTTPS (DoH) the default for some USA based Firefox users.
The good news is that full fibre is now available to 9% of UK premises, the bad news is that we still are waiting on a massive change in roll-out speed to hit the old 2033 100% ambition let alone a much tighter 2025 deadline.
G.fast is often described as the poor partner when faced with the might of the FTTP roll-outs so talk of a re-assessment of the Openreach investment plans we have a good number of people saying they told us all that G.fast was a waste of time and money.
The race to roll-out full fibre networks and also getting the attention of the public is heating up but there is a danger of hype over taking reality.
The FTTP picture of the UK continues to improve with another small corner of England gaining access to Gigabit speeds.
The 100 towns that are to receive up to £25 million as an initial wave of places that are part of the £3.6 billion town fund will have choices to make on how to spend this money on transport, broadband connectivity, skills and culture.
