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.
Northern Ireland's state backed Project Stratum has provided gigabit access to 15,000 premises in the first year of its full fibre rollout.
The £165m Project was funded under the DUP/Conservative Confidence and Supply deal and is being delivered alongside altnet Fibrus.
Economy Minister Gordon Lyons said: "Once completed the Project will see more than 76,000 premises across Northern Ireland being given Next Generation Access broadband speeds."
