en.Wedoany.com Reported - Technology and data insights company FDM CCS Insight has released a new dataset called "Network Panel," which provides granular analysis of UK broadband market performance, regional trends, and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTP) adoption. This tool aims to help operators, investors, and industry observers compare market performance and identify emerging trends.
The Network Panel leverages over two years of historical data to track connections and disconnections across all major fixed-line operators, including CityFibre, Openreach, Virgin Media O2, and nexfibre, providing visualizations of market performance at both national and regional levels. The data tracks weekly customer gains and losses across multiple speed tiers, from below 150 Mbps to gigabit broadband, and is reported monthly according to the 11 regions defined by the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS), including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and The Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, Wales, and Scotland.
Findings from the panel show that in 5 of the 11 ONS regions, connections for broadband packages of 800 Mbps and above grew by more than 75% year-on-year. Meanwhile, over the past 12 months, 8 regions saw a decline of over 20% in connections for 0-149 Mbps, with all regions experiencing at least a 10% drop in entry-level speed connections. London performed particularly strongly, with 33% of its connections on packages of 800 Mbps and above, 6 percentage points higher than the second-ranked South East region (27%). FDM CCS Insight's pricing data indicates this is due to London providers offering some of the lowest prices for high-speed packages nationwide. Additionally, despite lower connection numbers, the North East saw significant growth in high-speed package sign-ups, with 401-800 Mbps connections up 42% year-on-year and packages of 800 Mbps and above increasing by 87%.
Hayden Shaw, Commercial Director at FDM CCS Insight, stated: "The traditional approach of measuring the UK broadband market as a homogeneous whole no longer reflects the complex dynamics of this highly competitive market. Providing fine-grained geographic segmentation represents a significant advancement in the industry's understanding of broadband market performance, especially at a time when alternative network operators are actively targeting specific regions and causing significant disruption to the market landscape." The panel is currently in its first phase, with coverage of Northern Ireland to be added in the future.
