We passed the 60% mark in November 2021 and now we can share that the UK has 70.2% of premises with the ability to order a DOCSIS 3.1 cable or a full fibre service.

Another percentage point closer towards the majority of the UK having access to full fibre. At this time there is still 61% who cannot enjoy the reliability and speed choice full fibre provides.

Another bumper month for additions to our verification of the Openreach full fibre footprint with our database growing by some 317,787 premises.

A lot later on the 7th of the month than usual, due in part to starting the overnight analysis a few hours later than usual but our monthly snapshot of how the improvements in broadband coverage across the UK regions is now available.

The LFFN scheme often goes unnoticed since it is to public buildings invariably rather than a roll-out that automatically includes the residential area, but today we have some info on the difference the LFFN scheme is making in Greater Manchester.

The broadband USO while empowering people with the right to ask is often not delivering and is one of the things highlighted by a cross-party Senedd committee.

In the last four years the average level of superfast coverage in Wales has risen from 94.3% to 96.3%. Today we look at the variations that exist between the urban and rural areas.

Another 2,500 premises passed by Airband FTTP and part funded by the Devon and Somerset councils should get a big welcome but something is amiss when we delve into the claim.

There is a wave a local newspaper stories appearing online that feature the Ofcom coverage data from January 2022 but the really confusing thing for the public is how the USO is being described.

Amongst all the chaos and breaking news alerts we have managed to remember today is the 7th of the month and therefore time for our summary the broadband variations across the UK and how much change there has been since last month.
