A recent report from thinkbroadband has given a unique insight and the latest statistics on UK broadband rollout and revealed that FTTP is now available to over 75% of households across the UK, with Openreach leading the way with more than half of residents coverage – an increase in full fibre of 6% since last year.

The UK ranked in the top 10 markets by FTTH/B growth rates for Q1 2024 recording a 7.2% increase in subscribers according to Point Topic.
This placed the UK eighth on the ranking, and second in Europe compared to Belgium at 14.2% growth. Ireland followed the UK with 6.7% growth.
The report attributes this to ‘multiple altnets attempting to increase fibre adoption rates’ and ‘BT promoting migration to its EE brand, including for full fibre.’
This is a slight decline from Q3 2024 where the UK’s subscriber growth was at 10.1% following higher connection rates being reported by altnets and the cessation of dual copper legacy lines by Openreach.
