The full fibre race is either accelerating or we are getting better at finding it as lots of activity and additions to our maps and coverage figures in the last month.

We hit the 33% mark eight days ago and we've now passed the 33.3% point for full fibre availability across the UK.

Northern Ireland has broke the 80% mark for full fibre coverage, courtesy of a chunk of rural FTTP from Fibrus in the Castlederg area.

While Ofcom is calling on broadband providers to do more to help those struggling to pay bills there is a much bigger problem looming due to the rises in electricity bills.

The village of Northleigh has managed to make use of Gigabit vouchers to get some 30 premises connected to the Openreach FTTP network but a further 90 are now stuck in a paperwork nightmare.

It has taken just 18 days for us to find the next percentage point of FTTP coverage in the UK.

The Openreach FTTP roll-outs continue at break neck pace but the pace still needs to increase if the 25 million premises passed target is to be reached in the later half of the decade.

There are now over ten million properties in the UK that have the ability to order a full fibre broadband service.

Project Stratum is aiming for delivering FTTP to 85,000 premises in Northern Ireland that only have access to no or slow broadband.

The search for the superstars in the UK ISP industry for 2022 is underway.
