While the Starlink low earth orbit service may have caught the media attention the incumbent and offer broadband operators in Ukraine are working hard to ensure the country retains access to broadband. Point Topic has taken a look at what is happening there.

With 404,637 premises gaining full fibre as an option for the first time in the last month the FTTP roll-outs are delivering much-improved broadband around the UK at a cracking pace.

The situation with new build homes has changed a lot in just two years, back in 2018 just 56.7% of homes had a FTTP broadband option when new and in 2022 this has risen to 98%.

The RT Hon Rishi Sunak, during questions in the House of Commons, has given a short update on the progress of Project Gigabit in the UK.

The gap in the UK broadband picture between those who have all the options and those who do not is very obvious when you look at the differences between the market areas as defined by Ofcom.

Perth Council is looking to lever the advantages of the full fibre network built using council owned ducted under the LFFN scheme to support a roll-out to 10,000 premises.

The third Project Gigabit contract has been signed and GoFibre now have 2 out of the 3 signed contracts so far.

Ofcom has published the results of its analysis for consumer broadband speeds between October 2021 and March 2022.

After some confusion in the press such as suggesting that Wales has 49% full fibre coverage a short item to highlight the differences is needed.

There is no doubting that FTTP can have a major impact on how people use broadband at home but it also has major impacts for home working and the wider business world.
