Not that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> itself is anything new to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>, which has already deployed it to cover 200,000 UK premises.<\/p>\n<p>In this instance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> are trialling their new &#8220;<em>plug and play<\/em>&#8221; technology, which they claim should reduce the cost and complexity of delivering an all fibre connection to a home or business. Apparently it &#8220;<em>allows customers to be connected to FTTP with a simple two hour installation appointment instead of multiple appointments<\/em>&#8220;, although the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homeandwork.openreach.co.uk\/resources\/site1\/General\/Downloads\/Haydon-Wick-FTTP-FAQs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">trial FAQ<\/a> contradicts this by suggesting that the work on a customer&#8217;s property &#8220;<em>will take approximately half a day<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>The trial itself covers some <strong>500 homes<\/strong> on the development, with street level availability being present on Ariadne Road, Boatman Close, Clementine Road, Mayfly Road, Metis Road, Minnow Close, Ulysses Road and Voyager Drive.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Damon Bower, Local Councillor, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just five and a half weeks ago we were discussing plans for Fibre-to-the-Premises in the village, and now the first customers have been connected. It\u2019s fantastic that in that time we have an active network delivered and working. All the engineers on site have generated a real buzz in the area. The trial will cover 500 homes so we can look forward to even more residents being connected in the near future.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> are also conducting trials of simpler ways to deploy FTTP in other parts of the UK, including one in Bradford and another in Campton and Meppershall (Bedfordshire), which for example will look at reducing the need for engineers to cut and melt fibres together. Some will also test <strong>1000Mbps<\/strong> (Gigabit class) speeds, although that&#8217;s more intended for business products.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth pointing out that Haydon Wick is also one of the locations that might have benefited from <strong>UKB Networks<\/strong> controversial wireless broadband deployment in North Swindon (<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>) and locals in the area have long been campaigning for better connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you one of the problems right now is with regards to the lack of ISP choice, with only a few providers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>, AAISP, Claranet Soho and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/zen_internet\" target=\"_blank\">Zen Internet<\/a> offering FTTP packages on Openreach&#8217;s network that are viable for home users.
