We have been checking postcodes covering a few hundred premises in two North Norfolk towns since at least June 2025 where Openreach was saying full fibre is available but major retailers were still only offering VSDL2/part fibre services. On 5th August we finally saw the packages appear on sites like BT and EE and therefore […]

Residents in the old KCOM footprint of Hull can look forward to less duplication of telecoms infrastructure as KCOM launches its PIA service which will broadly mirror the Openreach PIA. The Hull area saw KCOM complete its FTTP rollout in 2019, though there have been small additions from new builds and wayleaves finally progressing. Subsequent […]

Fingers crossed the 883 premises we’ve mapped in the last few days in Harlow where Openreach FTTP has just become available are the start of a fast and much needed rollout. The Netteswell area of town is where most of the new full fibre has appeared, and takes the full fibre availability in the local […]

One of the areas that Openreach teased as being on their rollout list for full fibre appear back on 11th July 2025 has started to see FTTP appear. Rubery in South West Birmingham already has an extensive full fibre footprint via brsk, but we back on Friday 25th July we added a batch of addresses […]

Tranche 21 has been announced by Openreach in relation to the Stop Sell programme. The Openreach Stop Sell programme is designed to get areas with high availability of Openreach FTTP (over 75%) switching the majority of lines to full fibre. This is done by stopping the sale of analogue and part fibre services to those […]

With many millions of Fibre ONT set to be deployed over the next few years building them from recycled plastic is a big step towards the Openreach ambition for reaching net zero emissions by 2031. “Openreach’s ‘Let’s reach zero’ strategy is a great initiative that we are excited to be a part of. Together, we were […]

Bognor Regis is just one of many places across England and Scotland where CityFibre is building its wholesale full fibre network. Large sections of the rollout in Bognor Regis are now complete and the wholesale operator has revealed they’ve laid FTTP along some 286,000 metres beneath the roads so far. “Bognor Regis is making great […]

Openreach have announced they are extending their ‘FTTP Uninhabitable pilot’ for a further year, to now end on 31st August 2026. The pilot is evaluating the order, installation process and use of ruggedised ONT at uninhabitable locations. Ruggedised equipment is often used in more demanding environmental locations to withstand higher heat or weather that the […]

Freedom Fibre has added two more speed options to it service i.e. new 160 Mbps and 2.5 Gbps options, the later clearly exploiting the abilities of XGS-PON FTTP. This brings the total speed options to four, i.e. 160, 550, 1000 and 2500 Mbps. A new lower priced 160 Mbps option will make it easier to […]

Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley has in the last 24 hours seen a chunk of new fibre to the premises from Openreach appear on our maps. We believe this footprint has gone live with retailers using the Openreach network in the last week. The areas bordering Beckenham already have a good amount of […]
