Openreach full-fibre broadband reaches 10 million UK homes — but London areas left behind

Openreach has announced that 10 million UK homes and businesses are now within reach of ultrafast full-fibre broadband — but it has transpired that parts of London are being left behind.

While parts of the country — including Kingston upon Hull, Coventry and Milton Keynes — have almost universal full-fibre coverage, fewer than one in 10 homes and businesses in London have access to full-fibre broadband. Enfield (5.2%), Kingston Upon Thames (6.5%) and Haringey (6.7%) are London areas with some of the worst full-fibre coverage in the country, according to Ofcom’s most recent Connected Nations report.
