Openreach is celebrating the milestone of reaching 90% coverage of its full fibre rollout across Northern Ireland – with the region becoming the first within the Openreach UK network to hit this target.

nexfibre has reported just under 1.3 million premises passed in its latest quarterly update, up from 986,000 in the previous report.
The company plans to reach five million premises across the UK by 2026.
Its next stage of rollout will see high volumes of build in Eastbourne, Weymouth, Nantwich, and north Wales being well-served
Rajiv Datta, CEO of nexfibre, said: “It is thanks to the hard work of our team, our partners, including our build partner Virgin Media O2, and our investors that we have been able to build at this pace and achieve this reach in such a short period of time.”
