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.
This achievement is part of Openreach’s investment to bring future-proof broadband infrastructure to more than 830,000 homes and businesses across the region - including some of the most rural and previously underserved communities.
Lauren McGaughey, Acting Director of Openreach NI said: “Reaching 90% full fibre coverage is a significant milestone and reflects our commitment to connecting Northern Ireland to a better digital infrastructure.”
Full fibre broadband is already being used by over 64% of end customers on the Openreach network in Northern Ireland, with the infrastructure in place for many more to benefit.
Openreach’s plans remain on track to reach 97% coverage of Northern Ireland.
