In addition, eligible communities with Schools in them can also apply to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> for a grant worth <strong>up to \u00a320,000<\/strong> towards the cost of a new local fibre upgrade (usually slower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) and then locals would fill in the remaining gap from their own pockets.<\/p>\n<p>However the setup in <strong>Cotwalton<\/strong> is the first one to make use of public money, which comes via the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superfaststaffordshire.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Superfast Staffordshire<\/a> scheme that is separately working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> (BT) to ensure that 95% of local premises can access &#8220;<em>superfast<\/em>&#8221; Internet speeds of 24Mbps+ by 2017 (or 97% when looking at just the raw fibre footprint including sub-24Mbps speeds).<\/p>\n<p>BT now hopes to see this approach being replicated for other small rural communities around the UK.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Mark Winnington, Staffordshire Council&#8217;s Economic Growth Leader, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re pleased to partner with BT and the Cotwalton community to connect them to the national fibre infrastructure. The great contribution from these local residents at last made it viable to bring ultrafast broadband to this community, so this partnership approach is a win-win situation for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>Piloting this arrangement with BT is a real way forward and we\u2019re looking to work with more local communities to collaboratively fund similar projects. This means we can make the BDUK money go further as we\u2019ve funded this based on our local arrangement.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Bill Murphy, BT&#8217;s MD of Next Generation Access, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a significant \u2018first\u2019 for our Community Fibre Partnership programme and for Staffordshire. We hope we\u2019ll be able to replicate this approach elsewhere, and we\u2019re keen to have discussions with other local bodies who might wish to consider a similar project.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently BT are currently working with around <strong>140 UK communities<\/strong> to deliver similar upgrades, although it&#8217;s unclear how many of these involve the faster and more expensive <strong>Fibre-to-the-Premise<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) broadband technology instead of the usually slower but cheaper <strong>Fibre-to-the-Cabinet<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>) solution.<\/p>\n<p>The press release doesn&#8217;t explain why FTTP was chosen, but we will ask (in some rare causes it can be cheaper to deploy FTTP than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> for very small communities). Similarly we&#8217;re not told how much the roll-out itself is expected to cost or exactly how many premises will benefit. We&#8217;ll update once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> report back, if they report back.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> said that their engineers were expected to complete the extensive engineering work, which includes installing around 3 kilometres of fibre optic cabling, sometime next year (2017).<\/p>\n<p>Mind you not everybody will be happy with the thought that a community felt as if it had no other option than to donate its own money in order to get better broadband, which many regard today as being nearly as important as water or electricity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 28th September 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Openreach has confirmed to us that they expect to &#8220;<em>reach around a dozen premises<\/em>&#8221; with the technology, but sadly they dodged our question about how much it actually cost. However we did learn that the deployment doesn&#8217;t exist outside of the usual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> contracts &#8220;<em>as the local body money came out of unallocated budget from phase one of Superfast Staffordshire<\/em>&#8221; (the standard gainshare mechanism will apply).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rural community of Cotwalton in Staffordshire (England) has become the latest to help pay for an &#8220;ultrafast&#8221; (330Mbps) FTTP broadband upgrade through BT&#8217;s existing Community Fibre Partnerships scheme, but the twist is that it&#8217;s also the first one to be combined with public funding.<\/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":[474,471,56,69,447],"class_list":["post-12566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-bduk","tag-fttp","tag-bt-openreach","tag-staffordshire"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
