We are close to 12 million premises passed in our tracking of the Openreach FTTP roll-out with 11,917,541 and should hit the 12 million figure in the next week or two.

Some streets in Braintree now have five different full-fibre networks available to them. The town is the first in the country with so much full-fibre available.

nexfibre has published the first of what should be a quarterly update showing where their XGS-PON network is and perhaps more importantly where it is going to be rolled out.

Those who have pure copper broadband i.e. ADSL/ADSL2+ have been skipped so far in the PSTN switch-off but as of 1st December a SOTAP product will exist supporting voice over broadband.

Openreach as part of BT Group may have managed to build FTTP past some 860,000 premises in the last quarter and add 364,000 live FTTP connections, but overall number of broadband lines shrunk by 255,000.

nexfibre aka VirginMedia O2 has been building in Scarborough for a while and the company says it has completed the expansion in the area now.

VIVID developments already have a mixture of broadband solutions depending on the age of the development, and now moving forward they are hoping to make things easier for landlords and residents.

The positioning and ability to claim the varied titles of fastest continues with CityFibre looking a 1.2 Gbps XGS-PON service so that customers can see real Gigabit speeds.

The shift from copper based broadband services to full-fibre continues at Openreach with an additional 28 exchanges where FTTP connections will be prioritised from November 2024.

The conveyor belt of Openreach FTTP building continues with us finding the service available to an additional 299,356 premises in the last month.
