Openreach is celebrating the milestone of reaching 90% coverage of its full fibre rollout across Northern Ireland – with the region becoming the first within the Openreach UK network to hit this target.

nexfibre’s network reach has expanded to 1,557,000 premises ready for service and is on track to pass the two million milestone by the end of the year.
The company had reported that it had passed just under 1.3 million premises in its latest quarterly update.
CEO Rajiv Datta said: “Supported by a clear strategy and £4.5 billion in funding from world-class investors – InfraVia Capital Partners, Liberty Global, and Telefónica, this continued progress reflects our ability to deliver at scale and pace.
“These accomplishments are a direct result of the dedication and hard work of our team, partners, and investors, whose collective efforts have enabled us to accelerate our rollout and reach new milestones.”
