BT achieved a record 2.2 million FTTP premises built in the first half, bringing total coverage to 20.3 million, including 5.5 million rural locations. The operator said it remains on track to reach 25 million by December 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Allison Kirkby, chairman of BT, said: \u201cWe\u2019re building the U.K.\u2019s digital backbone, connecting the country like no one else and accelerating our transformation. Openreach full fiber broadband now reaches more than 20 million homes and businesses and our EE network is live with 5G+ coverage for 66% of the population. Since the start of the year, we\u2019ve driven customer growth across consumer broadband, mobile and TV and we\u2019re stabilising our UK-focused Business division,\u201d the executive added.<\/p>\n<p>Openreach saw record demand, adding 1.1 million new FTTP customers in H1, bringing total connections to 7.6 million. Broadband ARPU rose 4% to \u00a316.7.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these gains, Openreach broadband lines declined 242,000 in Q2, attributed to competitive losses and weaker market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The company recently announced a <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.bt.com\/bt-group-and-starlink-pave-the-way-for-high-speed-home-broadband-in-the-uks-hardest-to-reach-places\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">partnership<\/a> with Starlink to enhance broadband access in remote areas across the U.K.<\/p>\n<p>BT\u2019s mobile division EE 5G coverage rose more than 20 percentage points to reach 66% of the population, with full U.K. coverage expected by fiscal year 2030.
