According to Ofcom, the UK plans to achieve nearly universal full-fibre broadband access by 2027, rising from 69% coverage now to 96% in two years. The regulator's new telecoms access review emphasizes stability in regulation to sustain this rapid rollout. Ofcom will maintain certain restrictions on Openreach's pricing practices to encourage a healthy competitive market. Industry leaders express optimism about collaboration between Openreach and Ofcom to foster investment, growth, and customer satisfaction. Future regulatory adjustments could depend on market performance and competition, particularly in rural areas.
The UK is on course to deliver full-fibre broadband to nearly every household by 2027, according to Ofcom, marking a major milestone in Britain's digital infrastructure ambitions.
Ofcom said it would focus on 'clarity and stability' rather than stricter regulatory controls to maintain the strong momentum behind the rollout.
