This covers just under half a million homes and businesses, including both rural and urban areas.
New locations across the nation include: Aylesford, Bishop Stortford, Cambridge, Dartford, High Wycombe, Hartlepool, Peterborough and Stockton. This brings the total number of towns, cities, boroughs, villages and hamlets included in the company’s build programme to more than 2,700.
Openreach has now built full fibre broadband to 7.2m homes and businesses across the UK, including 2.3m in hard-to-reach areas. Its customer base has now reached 1.8m homes and businesses connected to the new network, with Openreach handling around 35,000 new orders every week.
Meanwhile more than 40 communication providers (including BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Vodafone) have signed up to Openreach’s long-term wholesale full fibre pricing offer. The offering (known as Equinox) was launched in October last year and Openreach said it will support communication providers placing new orders on FTTP where available.
