First, a <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-120 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttc\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_cable.php\">FTTC<\/a> 80Mbps connection still has many limitations \u2013 its distance dependent so only a small fraction of population will get it, plus it has very limited upload speed and is still subject to interference and not stable as fibre. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Secondly the hardware argument that home Wi-Fi or devices can&#8217;t cope with the enhanced speeds is fundamentally flawed. Today\u2019s computers already come with 1Gbps Ethernet connections, there are new simultaneous dual band Wi-Fi connections \u2013 plus the recently 802.11ac standard provides wireless speeds of up to 1Gbps. Technology is constantly evolving and enhancements to speed fuels the development of hardware.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At the end of the day, the consumer and business appetite is here, now, but there is a clear disconnect between the level of demand and the quality of the UK broadband infrastructure. By putting clear and ambitious investment in a Fibre-To-The-Building infrastructure, which has distinct correlation with the UK economy, it will deliver long term long term RoI. Other countries are recognizing this &#8211; just look at the Chinese government, which recently allocated 80% of its $303 billion infrastructure investment for broadband <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-122 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"ftth\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_fibre_optic.php\">FTTH<\/a> development. If you pro-rata that per person in the UK you would be looking at least \u00a38 billion. We should be aiming high \u2013 not making do with a short term strategy that is designed to help the big players cannibalise their existing customer base<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Naturally Hyperoptic, which is slowly rolling out its own <strong>1Gbps capable<\/strong> fibre optic (FTTB) broadband services into <strong>dense urban areas<\/strong>, has its own interests in this field and feels that BT&#8217;s outlook is wrong. On the other hand BT, unlike Hyperoptic, also faces the huge challenge of deploying superfast services into <strong>rural areas<\/strong> that are significantly more expensive and difficult to reach.<\/p>\n<p>BT&#8217;s <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-120 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttc\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_cable.php\">FTTC<\/a> solution, which is still reliant on the restrictions of a last mile run of <strong>existing copper cable<\/strong> to reach homes, does have its limits and won&#8217;t be able to deliver the best performance to everybody but many\u00a0should still\u00a0benefit. In fairness, with the money available, BT doesn&#8217;t have a lot of options available and FTTC is a reasonable solution with some scope for future improvements.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenge remains <strong>getting everybody connected<\/strong> and ensuring that the speeds they can receive do not fall below the <strong>25-30Mbps<\/strong> promised by both the UK and European governments. So far the majority of BT&#8217;s FTTC roll-out has been focused on largely urban areas, thus FTTC&#8217;s performance problems over distance have yet to show themselves with much scale. That could change once government funding kicks in and begins to push the technology into more isolated areas where distance could become an increasing problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The boss of urban fibre optic broadband ISP Hyperoptic, Dana Pressman-Tobak, has warned that last week&#8217;s comments by BT\u2019s Strategy Director (here), Sean Williams, whom suggested that there was &#8220;no business case to support&#8221; a full UK roll-out of true fibre broadband (e.g. FTTP) services, could be &#8220;very dangerous&#8220;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,55,65,56,148,38],"class_list":["post-1073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-fttc","tag-ftth","tag-fttp","tag-hyperoptic","tag-politics"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
