East Grinstead is one of many towns and villages Openreach is building to and after several months of relative inactivity the roll-out has numerous patches of live FTTP.

Virgin Media and its Gig1 product tops the speed test table for March 2021 and that is a service that is not full fibre based.

Build it and they will come is the dream of many projects and while people are signing up for full fibre the pace is very like the 2010 to 2012 era for partial fibre.

The UK full fibre roll-outs continue and that latest point of coverage has been added in just 35 days.

The UK full fibre roll-outs continue with the UK now at 21.58% FTTP coverage and around 7% of all the speed tests we see are using an FTTP connection.

The £5 billion Project Gigabit has been fleshed out with some more info on the first areas to benefit and the Gigabit voucher scheme survives.

After a long wait the ambition for the UK to reach 97% superfast coverage has finally being achieved and it was some FTTP that pushed the figures past the milestone.

Another percentage point of roll-out has been registered in our systems with the UK full fibre coverage now standing at 21.02% on Monday 15th March 2021.

The push towards 97% superfast coverage has slowed down this month with coverage at over 24 Mbps now sitting at 96.99%. The various full fibre roll-outs do continue at a decent pace though.

£4.5 million has been awarded to central Scotland to deliver more FTTP as part of the R100 project.
