An average month for the Openreach full fibre rollouts after a very busy end of the quarter push. Between 12th October 2025 and 12th November 2025 we’ve added 295,905 premises which are Ready For Service via the Openreach full fibre network.
The rollout continues to be a mixture of overbuild of altnets, and easier to build in urban streets, along with middle of nowhere R100 deployments in Scotland that without public subsidy would problem have never seen full fibre.
Taking a longer term view, the last three months has seen 1,092,628 premises flip from no Openreach full fibre to service is ready to order. The total footprint we’ve mapped is 20,328,257 premises and matches what Openreach stated in its financial results released last week, so a lag of 4 to 5 weeks as the results are meant to reflect the network status as of 30th September 2025. This means Openreach full fibre is available to 61.1% of the UK.
With regard to the Openreach 25 million premises ready for service target, the projection is running as this happening between 1st December 2026 and 23rd December 2026.

Our maps are currently one day behind on the Openreach address and postcode database but that will be corrected on the evening of the 12th November.
The 2025 aim for a footprint of 25 million premises with full fibre available will mean Openreach covers around 75% of the United Kingdom. Some recent posturing around the Telecoms Access Review has Openreach saying they may reconsider a push onto 30 million premises in the 2026 to 2030 period, we’d be surprised as stopping close to 75% would mean a chunk of the cost savings from full fibre being more reliable and the subsequent exchange closure programmes would get pushed further down the road. 30 million premises with Openreach full fibre is still only 90% of the UK.

I have fibre to the cab . Will this need to be upgraded to fall fibre and if so what will be the cost to me .
All depends on who you have broadband from, some do proactive upgrades once full fibre available, and others may leave you to make the choice
When will fibre be available at my address CW1 4HG
Hard to say, it is very close so likely a reason why some properties were missed out, such as cables are directly buried in the ground.
Interesting other providers have tried and now saying not available.
Hi when will full fibre to the property be available to order at GL7 1JR Hanover Court Cirencester. Thanks
If OMR data is right nothing planned – its flats so presume leasehold and would need landlords permission. There is external wiring already at a guess phone lines so replacing that with full fibre would not change look of flats. More admin for flats hence often skipped in the bulk of fast rollouts.
Openreach Engineers have installed / connected a CBT box at my address and have confirmed fibre to property will be available.
Question is how long before it’s live and ready for order?
Could be two weeks if everything else in the fibre run is complete or could be a few months if waiting to get a fibre through a blocked duct somewhere on the run. If they had connected it and told you there is light, then it’s just the two to three weeks as the commissioning team will audit it i.e. check light levels
Great thanks. Was installed about 4 weeks ago.
My block of 8 houses was missed in the initial rollout about 3 years ago. So hopefully very soon 🤞🏽
Been removed off the list, after a 2 year waiting list, was extended to 5 years, then removed this year, explanation would be appreciated, more so since we drop into KBS, or no Internet
We are in a 10 year old block of flats in Central London. We have no superfast options even though blocks next to us built to a similar design have had hyperoptic for years. BT checker now says we are in the plan but I’ll believe it when I see it!
I’ve been in exactly the same position and then finally Hyperoptic and Virgin Media came in. Before that it was very slow.
Hey. I spoke to a BT Openreach guy outside my house about 8 weeks ago and he looked in his ‘special’ website and said our road should get fibre before Jan 2026. My address is [address removed by TBB]. Any ideas on this?
We’ve removed your address from the comment as this is public on our website and you don’t really want your address publicly available. If Openreach said that then it’s likely some work has been scheduled but it could also be delayed so don’t make any key decisions on the dates as the dates change a lot. Openreach say they are building in your area now so I would say it’s a matter of when but likely to be within the next few weeks/months.
I live in longwell green, bs30, l keep enquiring about full fiber but just get told we have copper cable is the reason they have not run fiber into our cul de sac. With sky at moment and its drops out most days just very frustrating.
They wouldn’t run fibre into the road because it has copper. What could be the reason is “direct bury copper”, which means they haven’t run ducting but the cabling is directly in the ground. This means to run fibre, they’d need to dig up the road to install ducting for new fibre (some micro trenching is possible but I don’t know how that works in those areas).
