New Study Examines Uk Full Fibre Broadband Take Up By Age Of Network Strategic consultancy firm eight advisory has today published the third edition of their takeup tracker, which examines the rise in take up across the uk’s many alternative full fibre (fttp) broadband networks (altnets) and compares it with that of openreach (bt). Taking full fibre and cable networks together, 25 million homes (83%) now have access to a gigabit capable broadband connection. this suggests the government’s target of 85% coverage by 2025 is likely to be reached.
New Study Examines Uk Full Fibre Broadband Take Up By Age Of Network Openreach has commissioned the centre for economics and business research (cebr) and stantec to produce a joint report into the impact of our rollout of full fibre broadband across the nations and regions of the uk. Ispreview has this morning published our biannual h1 2025 summary of uk fixed broadband coverage, which reveals that “ full fibre ” (fttp) isp networks have grown to reach 78.06% of premises (up from 73.53% in h2 2024) and 87.84% are within reach of “ gigabit ” 1000mbps speeds (up from 85.87%). Openreach full fibre broadband now covers 20 million uk premises, with independent reports confirming the scale of the rollout and growing uptake. The uk’s full fibre broadband market is at a critical inflection point. with billions invested in network buildouts over the past few years, the focus has firmly shifted to take up—how many households are actually subscribing to services.
Full Fibre Broadband Uk 2025 Coverage Rollout Guide Openreach full fibre broadband now covers 20 million uk premises, with independent reports confirming the scale of the rollout and growing uptake.

The big news is that as of the date we are publishing this report (24 september 2025), our statistics are reporting that the uk has reached 80% coverage for full fibre broadband. Fifth edition of uk broadband report sees robust growth of full fibre access across the country, but with slower increase in gigabit per se, and key mergers making altnets more efficient. Eight advisory has just released its uk fibre to the home (ftth fttp) take up report and for those who want just a single sentence to absorb the key story is that between may 2024 and august 2024 take up for openreach full fibre rose 3 points to 35% and in the alt net market it rose a point to 17%. The full report is a little dry, and we had been hoping that it was going to include a more scientific study of current and future broadband speeds vs needs, but sadly it doesn’t seem to go into quite that sort of depth.
