An interim update has been released by Ofcom for its Connected Nations report showing 86% of UK homes had access to a Gigabit option in January 2025 and 84% of business premises.

Our monthly update on the broadband state of the UK and its constituent nations and regions shows 86.38% of the UK has the ability to order a Gigabit capable broadband connection.

Richard Tang, CEO of Zen Internet has published a couple of video interviews with the CEOs of MS3, Quickline and B4RN with some interesting points about different altnet business models.

Thirty four days for the UK to go from 76% full fibre coverage to 77% and on track to reach 85% in January 2026.

After a number of address resolution layers being added in the last couple of months, we have now integrated roadworks related to telecoms infrastructure for England.

Those who live or work in Devon and Somerset and have not got their Gigabit broadband voucher sorted out already will not be able to apply for the up to £4,500 of funding anymore.

The full fibre rollouts continue and while Openreach is the one building the most every month, the collective might of the alt-nets and Virgin Media O2 mean there is competition.

After waiting months it is now official the Gigabit broadband voucher scheme is open to applications in a limited number of urban areas.

The full fibre roll-outs continue at pace, with the most recent point taking 26 days to add to our dataset.
