The company also confirmed it is on target to reach 30 million premises by 2030.
Speaking at the Connected North event in Manchester, Openreach's director of fibre build, Georgia Grimes, said, "We've built full fibre broadband to almost 14 million premises and are now building at a rate of 1m a quarter and will go on to reach 30m by 2030. We're building on time, in budget, safely and sustainably."
Openreach's business development manager, Justine Neale, separately said that the operator’s FTTP take-up will rise from 34 per cent today to 50 per cent by 2030. But she added that Openreach still needed more support from government to help foster flexi-permits and easier wayleaves for multi-dwelling units build.
Openreach currently expects to add a total of 3.5 million extra premises to its FTTP coverage across the 2024 financial year, which it predicts will rise to 4 million in FY25.
