Openreach today announced the first nine locations that will benefit from a new Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) product specifically designed for SMEs, offering ultrafast speeds of up to 1Gbps. The roll out forms part of Openreach’s wider plan to make ultrafast broadband available - via FTTP and G.Fast technology - to up to one million businesses by the end of 2020.

The deployment will be focused on SMEs located in high streets, science and business parks and clusters of businesses that don’t have access to fibre broadband from Openreach today.

The first areas to benefit include parts of Bath, Bradford, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester and Salford - as well as Westminster, Holborn and the City – in London. The new network will be rolled out over the course of the next nine months, with communications providers able to offer ultrafast speeds to businesses from the end of December. Further deployment phases will then follow, with hundreds of thousands of businesses benefitting from this FTTP roll out by the end of 2020.
