Openreach declares aim to accelerate UK high-speed broadband rollout
TechRadarFriday, May 23, 2025 at 9:59:00 AM
Openreach, the UK's major broadband infrastructure provider, has announced ambitious plans to speed up its rollout of high-speed full fibre internet. They're aiming to connect 25 million homes and businesses by the end of 2026, and hit 30 million by 2030 – that's roughly 90% of UK premises.
Editor’s Note: For anyone frustrated with sluggish internet or patchy rural connectivity, this is a big deal. Faster broadband isn't just about streaming Netflix smoothly—it boosts remote work, helps small businesses compete, and could narrow the digital divide between cities and rural areas. The timeline suggests Openreach is feeling the heat from competitors, which might mean better deals and services for consumers down the line.
