The roll-outs of full fibre continue with the last percentage point being added in just under 2 months.

We made it to the end of the list of major providers we can confidently show daily speed test averages for last week, so we are starting again with BT Broadband and the observations we can make on how performance varies or not day to day,

The battle to get full fibre built is over for a good number of rural properties in Northamptonshire, the next step is to convert these premises from passed to connected.

We have effectively done a Lands End to John o' Groats virtual walk looking for Openreach FTTP on the way and found a surprising amount in the last couple of weeks.

Imagine what the lockdown period would have looked like in the 1980's before broadband and widespread access to mobile phones and all the things you would have missed highlight how important the work of those who have kept things running has been.

This months summary of where the UK and its regions stand with regards to broadband coverage is now available and the UK full fibre coverage figure stands at 13.58%.

The good news is properties in rural areas have a slightly higher chance of having FTTP available to them, but the bad news is that there is 10.5% of rural properties without a 30 Mbps option at all.

The massive product speed test results table we publish each month is showcasing how the various services across the UK performed during April 2020.

It will be difficult to order a FTTP service at this time in most cases, but it is worth highlighting a big contiguous chunk of Corby now has full fibre available to it.

Our regular weekly round ups of how the larger brooadband providers are performing continues with a look at Plusnet.
