This will involve building fibre optic lines direct from the local telephone exchange.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We recall that residents of <strong>Haydon Wick<\/strong> have been campaigning for better broadband connectivity since early 2014 and the development is also part of or near to the area where UKB Networks were expected to cover with their new fixed wireless broadband platform, which recently hit some troubles due to a rejection of several new masts (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/02\/blow-for-wireless-broadband-in-swindon-uk-as-new-masts-rejected.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise the deployment sounds very similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s <strong>Fibre-Only Exchange<\/strong> (FOX) trial in 2013, which connected premises in the rural village of <strong>Deddington<\/strong> (Oxfordshire, England) to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> service direct from the local telephone exchange (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/01\/deddington-homes-get-access-to-bts-first-uk-fibre-only-broadband-pilot.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Kim Mears, BTOR&#8217;s MD of Infrastructure Delivery, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re really excited about the prospect of building an all fibre, ultrafast broadband network to parts of Haydon Wick.<\/p>\n<p>The development has so far missed out on the benefits of fibre broadband, so I\u2019m very happy to say that some of the locals will have access to some of the fastest speeds available across the whole of the UK from this Spring. What\u2019s more, we\u2019ve committed to leaving the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> network in place once the trial has finished, so residents in the trial area can continue to enjoy ultrafast speeds for a long time yet.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently the new trial will also &#8220;<em>test a number of new techniques and processes for rolling out FTTP which could, if successful, be used to deploy the technology more quickly and widely to other parts of the UK<\/em>,&#8221; although they don&#8217;t actually say what those techniques are (we wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/04\/bt-confirms-third-500mbps-uk-g-fast-broadband-pilot-for-swansea.html\" target=\"_blank\">same approaches<\/a> as used in their FoD2 trial were playing a part).<\/p>\n<p>The first customers should go live by the end of <strong>March 2016<\/strong> and then the number of upgraded lines will ramp up over the coming weeks and months. Mind you one of the biggest problems with taking an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> based FTTP product is the lack of support among mainstream ISPs, but only a few smaller \/ more expensive providers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> itself offering related packages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 28th Feb 2016:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following street locations are included in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s FTTP technical deployment trial: Ariadne Road, Boatman Close, Clementine Road, Mayfly Road, Metis Road, Minnow Close, Ulysses Road and Voyager Drive.\u00a0 A related <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ultrafast-openreach.co.uk\/Download\/Haydon-Wick-FTTP-FAQs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">FAQ<\/a> is also online.<\/p>\n<p>A similar trial is also under-way in the villages of Campton and Meppershall.
