While we don't think Santa delivers broadband we are sure some will have added it to their list for Santa to bring. The good news though is that UK FTTP footprint continues to grow.

The latest Ofcom Connected Nations report has been published and for those not used to how it works will be wondering why there is such a big difference in the figures.

Now the big Virgin Media DOCSI3 3.1 switch-on is complete phase one of the Gigabit roll-outs are over and the 2025 target of 85% coverage is going to take four or more years to reach.

Our monthly round up of the broadband picture across the nations and regions that make up for UK is now available with the UK full fibre coverage standing at 29.46%.

The UK has gone from 28.01% full fibre availability to 29.24% in just 27 days.

The nights are dark and cold but still time to look back to a couple of weeks ago and what speeds we were saying on the many broadband packages sold in the UK.

The focus is currently on the 85% Gigabit target for end of 2025 but talk of a larger 2030 date seem to be growing.

The latest wave of Virgin Media O2 upgrades to enable DOCSIS 3.1 combined with full fibre roll-outs from a wide range of providers means the UK has reached the 60% Gigabit coverage milestone.

The Christmas adverts may be on TV but its time to look back to the previous month of October and see where across the UK the big gains in full fibre and Gigabit roll-outs have taken place.

A new record for the speed of seeing an extra percentage point in the UK full fibre journey, the jump to 28% has taken just 22 days compared to 28 days for the previous point.
