Due to the hard work of the UK altnet sector, fibre services are now available to 37% of UK households.
Ofcom’s Connected Nations autumn update finds that 11 million homes can now turn to fibre, up from seven million a year ago.
The report reads: “This uptake is driven predominantly through deployments by the larger fibre infrastructure operators but supported by a number of smaller providers across the UK serving individual communities and regions.”
The report also notes that the number of homes able to get gigabit capable broadband is up to almost 20.2 million homes (68% of all UK homes), up from 19.3 million (66%) since Ofcom’s last update.
