In just 34 days we have seen the UK go from 23% full fibre coverage to 24% coverage.

Rock Ferry, Wirral has seen a big jump in the space of just a week for its Openreach FTTP coverage levels from 1.9% to 76.1%.

Worries that the public is not aware of what Gigabit capable broadband is and the benefits, along with costs are key points from a new report.

This month sees a bit of movement at the top of our monthly speed test results and a couple of new names too.

The Openreach Fibre First programme saw its first 100 premises built in May 2018 and has come a long way since then. It still has a long way to go so we take a peek at where it is.

Another month has passed and the Gigabit and FTTP figures continue to grow and while basic superfast coverage continues to improve the resolution of slow spots is a lot slower.

Rural areas of England and Wales have always lagged behind in terms of superfast coverage but was perversely leading in FTTP roll-outs it was leading but that lead has now vanished.

The trend for more and more new homes to have FTTP available continues, retro build programmes are also seeing coverage rates improve in other recent build years.

The full fibre footprint in the UK has grown to 23%, or if you prefer the number without access to FTTP has shrunk slightly to 77%.

Another month and the numerous FTTP roll-outs continue to add a decent amount of coverage each month. The increased FTTP roll-out also means more overlaps between the various networks.
