Openreach has today announced it has officially reached over 12.5 million homes with its full-fibre infrastructure, meaning it has crossed the halfway mark to its target of 25 million homes being connected by 2026.
Openreach, the UK's biggest broadband network, has been working towards connecting the UK to full fibre for the past seven years, and is connecting over 60,000 premises per week to its full-fibre network, that's a new premise every 10 seconds.
The rollout has, so far, created new opportunities for a whole variety of both business and personal needs, reaching over 20,000 medical facilities and care homes, 18,000 educational buildings, and over 3.6 million homes in rural areas.
