The House of Lords debated broadband social tariffs and beyond the usual things one Lord said that aparently BT has said by 2025 after disconnecting Wi-Fi copper connections bills will be £100/m.

It is not just the scale of the FTTP roll-out that is impressive. Openreach has live customers on some 2,729,000 FTTP connections which gives them a larger live footprint than the premises passed figure for the second largest FTTP network in the UK.

Competition for your broadband subscription in a Buckinghamshire village is increasing with Gigaclear planning a roll-out to 1,700 premises in 2023.

Alas we missed our December update due to it falling in that week when all track of space and time is lost. It is looking likely that in the next 4 weeks Ofcom Area 2 will hit 85% Gigabit coverage.

London is ahead of the curve on the full fibre roll-outs due in part to the amount of wayleave agreements in place between operators and various London Boroughs.

The massive roll-outs of full fibre are not all re-using Openreach ducts and poles, some are digging their own cabling/ducting in pavements and Ripon has some examples of upsetting future customers.

We have written a guide that may keep you online in the event of a power cut, often with just a £10 cable or two.
