Several other providers, including Virgin Media, TalkTalk, CityFibre, Gigaclear and Hyperoptic are also building FTTP networks. Openreach plans to extend access to its ultrafast broadband service to more than a million homes and businesses in the next nine months. The company, which is using a combination of G.Fast, to accelerate copper connections, and Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) to deliver its ultrafast service, has connected 1.9 million properties so far and plans to reach 5.7 million by the end of 2020. “Today’s announcement marks another significant milestone for our customers as we continue to expand our high-speed Internet service,” said Greg McBride, chief executive officer at Openreach.
