Our tracking of what Openreach is delivering in terms of FTTP confirms the build rate they claim, with us finding 25,809 premises passed per week in the last month compared to their self declared 26,000 figure.

After just 5 weeks and 2 days of hitting the 11% coverage point we can announce our tracking of the FTTP rollouts hitting the 12% mark.

The full fibre roll-outs appear to be speeding and fortunately its not just the number of press releases being issued. We look at the changes in the last few weeks across the regions of the UK.

What seems like the longest month of the year has passed and this means we can share what we see in terms of speed test results in what is the largest round-up of broadband provider performance in the UK.

With 2019 now behind us it is a chance to share an updated trend chart showing how full fibre and partial fibre technologies are taking over from the ancient ADSL/ADSL2+ services.

It is time for our first monthly roundup of 2020 on how fast we are seeing Openreach deploy FTTP. The overall pace of deployment is running at 23,039 premises passed each week.

Claiming that once R100 completes Scotland will be ahead of the curve in UK and internationally is a strong claim. The current Scottish position has it lagging the other nations on full fibre availability and with 94% superfast availability it is not leading the charge there either.

A little later in the month than usual, but January has started off unusually busy on the broadband data front. So excuse the gap of a few days between having processed the results and running them up the flag pole.

The Christmas decorations are now all down and 2020 is underway, which means its time to look at how 2019 ended with respect to broadband availability across the UK.

The full fibre roll-outs in the UK mean that 11% of UK premises are now able to order a FTTP service.
