Another a new town where CityFibre and various retailers are selling full-fibre.

Project Gigabit is shifting to the next phase which is the path from 85% Gigabit coverage to 99% coverage and as the £288 million of contracts awarded to Openreach are a part of that.

Our monthly update on the Openreach full fibre roll-outs puts just days away from breaking the 15 million premises Ready for Service milestone with a footprint of 14,963,968 RFS premises passed.

Freedom Fibre has been below the radar to a larger extent that other alt-nets but has hit a milestone with 20,000 homes connected in places like Stoke-on-Trent, Crewe, Leek, Urmston, Northwich and Whitchurch.

Openreach is implementing tougher rules on 'whereabouts' reporting by users of its fibre ducts and one customer has an interesting view on this.

With the Ofcom Telecoms Access Review due to be published early next year, the five largest alt-nets in the UK have formed a coalition to try and press Ofcom for fairer pricing to ducts and poles that form the PIA products from Openreach.

nexfibre is a wholesale full-fibre network, where Virgin Media O2 is the anchor retailer.

The nexfibre XGS-PON service with 2 Gbps and symmetric options sold by Virgin Media O2 has started to surface in Skelmersale.

CityFibre has announced its footprint in Eastbourne is at 30,000 premises and the roll-out is continuing. Eastbourne District Council covers around 53,000 properties so lots of scope for more full fibre from CityFibre.

CityFibre is now repairing services six days a week with Saturdays being considered working days
