Openreach is a telecommunications company that connects homes, businesses, and organizations to broadband and phone services. They are expanding their full fibre network to reach 10 million homes and businesses by mid-2020s through their 'Fibre First' program. They are building new fibre engineering schools and hiring more engineers. Openreach works with local authorities and internet service providers to expand fibre connectivity. They propose using their existing network and ducts to provide full fibre connectivity to local areas through the Local Full Fibre Network and Fibre in the First Mile programs while avoiding extensive street digging. This allows them to easily extend the network to local residents and businesses.

Overview
We’re 30,400 people who connect homes, mobile phone masts, schools, shops, banks, hospitals, libraries, broadcasters,
governments and businesses - large and small - to the world.
Our ‘Fibre First’ programme will expand the ‘full fibre’ (FTTP*) network in circa 40 towns, cities and boroughs initially, that
is 3 MILLION premises
We plan to reach 10 MILLION homes and businesses by the mid-2020’s
We’re building 12 state-of-the-art fibre engineering schools and recruiting 3,500 more engineers right across England,
Scotland and Wales. Many new staff are joining us in rural locations.
Thousands of ex-military people are playing a vital role in building Britain’s fibre network— SSAFA, the Armed Forces
Charity, are our main charity partner and Openreach employees have raised £100,000+ through different events for them
We work closely with Government, Local Authorities & 600+ ISP’s (who are our customers) to remove barriers and reduce
the cost of ever increasing the fibre reach
Over the past decade we’ve invested more than £11 BILLION into our network and we now manage more than 160 million
kilometres of cable stretching from Scotland to Cornwall, from Wales to the east coast, with 1000’s more premises
connected every week.
