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.

One in five properties in Hereford, Stokesley, Great Ayton and Thirsk have adopted full fibre services from Zzoomm.
The network builds in Hereford, Stokesley and Great Ayton were completed 15 months ago, the Thirsk network is more mature having been completed 25 months ago.
Matthew Hare, CEO Zzoomm, said: “We are seeing notable take-up of our services across our networks driven by our marketing and sales teams, supported by our customer and field service operations.”
The altnet recently confirmed that nationally it has some 30,000 contracted customers and more than 200,000 ready-for-service properties. It is currently adding 1,500 new customers each month.
