The Ilse of Mull already has some Openreach FTTP on it near Tobermory but the latest additions in the Fionnphort exchange area are definitely part of the R100 project.

Its difficult to know for sure if the plan to sell a minority stake for £1 billion is referring to the nexfibre roll-out, or the new whole NetCo that is gearing up to be the wholesale arm for the traditional Virgin Media cable footprint.

Felthorpe in Norfolk just has part fibre services and its looks very likely that CityFibre is rolling out full fibre via one of its Project Gigabit contracts, but one resident is objecting to a pole outside his home.

With the Liberty Global/Virgin Media Telefonica joint venture that is nexfibre rolling out quickly already it is a bit odd to see the holding company apply for code powers.

nexfibre is busy rolling out and one of the more urban places is Huddersfield so the news that its 2 Gbps symmetric services are available to 11,000 premises is good news.

A new venture looking to roll-out full fibre in North West and North East England as well as Scotland and Wales is seeking code powers to make its roll-out easier.

Full Fibre Ltd, also known as Fibre Heroes wholesales its service via a number of retailers and its FTTP network has generally offered a 900 Mbps (Gigabit) service as its fastest, but there will soon be 2.3 Gbps retail options appearing.

The big provider that everyone was wondering whether it would pick nexfibre or CityFibre has made its choice and Sky is partnering with CityFibre to sell full fibre.

As part of the BT Group results Openreach was said to have built to 15 million premises with its FTTP network and we can now confirm that we've mapped over 15 million premises which are Ready for Service.

While it's not going to be everywhere, that from April 2025 we will see Openreach starting to launch a symmetrical full-fibre service is good news. Symmetrical meaning the same download and upload speeds in this case.
