While the big drives of the rise in the FTTP figures are the urban areas there are rural areas such as St Briavels getting to enjoy full fibre.

Maidenhead, Berkshire now has a small collection of CityFibre dots on our maps as we chase down the gap between our footprint of 805,965 and the providers figures of 1.1 million.

Following on from deployments in Sudbury and Evesham back in November, work to deploy in Clacton-on-Sea is underway already and Frinton-on-Sea work starts in the New Year.

Our checks for Fibrus FTTP in Northern Ireland shows the footprint is growing and we estimate that some 12,136 premises have Fibrus as an option as their first superfast broadband option.

The price of the DOCSIS 3.1 Gig1 service at £62/m is more than all but a small number will be willing to spend on broadband but the roll-out of the service means Virgin Media O2 can now start their FTTP upgrades.

The part of Worcester that is live so far with access to the CityFibre full fibre network is now on maps and checkers.

The DOCSIS 3.1 switch on looks set to have completed before the end of 2021 and with a few weeks to spare before New Years Eve.

After a fairly static few months with some additional coverage found in the Fenham area a big chunk of CityFibre FTTP has been found in the Walkergate area of Newcastle.

We've been tracking the continued roll-out of the DOCSIS 3.1 option and after the press release from Virgin Media about the Scottish roll-out completing we can now confirm our data agrees.

The full fibre footprint in Northern Ireland is way ahead of the other UK nations and Project Stratum is aiming to reduce the digital divide in the rural areas of Northern Ireland.
