30 days ago Openreach announced they had passed the 8 million premises milestone and our tracking of their roll-out has now also passed that point.

It is probably many months before the first homes in Hastings and St Leonards will be able to order full fibre over the CityFibre network but some £30 million is being spent to give people the option.

The suburban village of Binley Woods just outside Coventry is a small project for CityFibre but the full fibre will be welcomed by residents looking for speeds faster than FTTC.

Strike action will mean 40,000 workers at BT and Openreach will walk out disrupting business on Friday 29th July and Monday 1st August.

CityFibre are to install XGS-PON by default from April 2023 enabling 10Gbps symmetric options for customers.

The Openreach programme to build FTTP to some 25 million premises is now almost a third complete and they intend to keep accelerating the roll-out.

One of two thing has happened this month with the Openreach full fibre tracking, either we've caught a bit or they are building a lot more FTTP.

Norwich has gained a bit more full fibre as the CityFibre roll-out has started to go live and is being sold by Air Broadband.

Openreach has dropped another batch of locations that will see FTTP under its Fibre First programme.

Wolverhampton is the latest new urban area on our broadband maps showing where CityFibre wholesale services are available.
