Openreach’s full fibre network is now available to 12.5 UK premises, marking the half-way point in its nationwide plan to reach 25 million homes and businesses with the technology by the end of 2026.

MS3 Networks has completed its network build in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, covering 37,000 premises with its full fibre footprint.
Those premises addressed can access MS3’s ten-gigabit capable full fibre through one of over 30 channel partners that provide products and services through the altnet’s network.
A report commissioned by MS3 from PMP Strategy estimates that the deployment of MS3’s network across Scunthorpe could add up to 95 jobs to the wider community and £9m to the town's GDP.
CEO Guy Miller said: “We’re on a rapid network deployment plan, which involves covering over 535,000 homes and businesses across the North of England by the end of 2025.”
