Facilities-Based U.K. Independent ISPs Hope to Boost Market Share to 21% by 2025

By 2025, independent U.K. internet service providers aim to pass 30 million homes with fiber-to-home or premises service largely operating at gigabit-per-second  speeds, according to the Independent Networks Cooperative Association and PointTopic. 


Take rates are expected to be about 20.6 percent of locations passed. That would represent a gain of home broadband market share of eight percent over present levels. BT’s retail market share at the moment is about 33 percent. Cable operator Virgin has nearly 20 percent share. 


Other suppliers--mostly using wholesale access from OpenReach--have about 61 percent share. The independent ISPs have about 12 percent share.
