FTTH will be universal by 2033 under a plan from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) .
“We want everyone in the UK to benefit from world-class connectivity, no matter where they live, work or travel,” said DCMS Secretary Jeremy Wright, “this radical new blueprint for the future of telecommunications in this country will increase competition and investment in full-fibre broadband, create more commercial opportunities and make it easier and cheaper to roll out infrastructure for 5G.”
The DCMS says it has ‘identified’ around £200 million within the existing broadband programme that deliver more full-fibre networks immediately. The plan is to have 15 million connected homes by 2025.
Only 4% of UK homes have FTTH. 70% of Spanish homes have it.
