We may be a day or two behind on this link, but its still worth pushing out the information so people can go look for themselves.

The plan to roll-out FTTH to some 93% of Australian homes and businesses by 2021 is falling apart rapidly as the change to a FTTC based architecture with a new Government is almost certain.

We covered this originally back in July, but it seems two months later we are still stuck in the BDUK loop.

Rutland Telecom who have used a mixture of FTTC and FTTP in Rutland County is not the favourite of some residents in one village in the county and they are seeking a reversal of the Open Market Review.

A slightly different way of implementing the BDUK maps has appeared for the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough project, where you get a page for each town/village with an explanation.

Northamptonshire announced its BDUK contract target of 90% and awarded the contract to BT earlier in 2013, and is now fleshing out the sketchy ambition to have 100% coverage of superfast broadband.

Following on from the previous scheme to improve broadband in Wales, it seems the Welsh Government is keen to offer more £1,000 grants to properties that have slow broadband.

The full fat fibre picture in the UK may not be the most extensive, but it is continuing to grow.

As with other BDUK projects over time more detailed maps are appearing and the Bucks and Herts project is the latest to publish maps.

A £14m project is set to benefit some 42,000 homes and businesses in the East Riding of Yorkshire, bringing mainly FTTC, but some native FTTP via the contract just signed with BT.
