As of July 2023, all four United Kingdom nations had achieved at least 95 percent coverage of superfast broadband services exceeding 30 Mbps or more. However, as of the same period, only Northern Ireland had achieved a comparable coverage in full fiber broadband, with England, Scotland, and Wales having achieved around 50 percent coverage. Full fiber, or fiber to the premises (FTTP), describes a connection in which fiber cable is used to deliver a broadband service the entire distance to the premises. FTTP connections are considered superior to fiber to the cabinet (FTTC) connections, in which traditional copper cables are used to deliver a broadband service through the final stage, normally from a cabinet located in the street.
