The BT Wholesale Checker<\/a> has added a couple of new columns to reflect the availability of Openreach<\/a>’s (BT<\/a>) 18Mbps (2Mbps upload) capable Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC<\/a> \/ VDSL2<\/a>) based “fibre broadband<\/em>” product, which is aimed at people who still use slow ADSL<\/a> copper broadband lines.<\/p>\n

The new 18Mbps<\/strong> tier is currently still in trial (details here<\/a>) and was created as an upgrade path for those who live in areas where both FTTC<\/a> and ADSL<\/a> are available. However the extra cost of a normal 40-80Mbps FTTC<\/a> product (this frequently adds a premium of +\u00a35-\u00a315 inc. VAT per month at retail) can be unattractive, particularly if people choose not to upgrade because the speed uplift vs ADSL<\/a> is simply too small (i.e. FTTC speeds can fall a lot lower than the headline levels).<\/p>\n

As a result Openreach<\/a> created a new 18Mbps tier that is a little bit cheaper (\u00a34 +vat per month at wholesale) than the cheapest 40Mbps tier (\u00a36.90 +vat per month) and they made it available to those who currently receive sub-10Mbps<\/strong> speeds on ADSL \/ ADSL2+ based broadband lines. The new service is still more expensive for ISPs than an ADSL2+ solution, but the cost is now much closer.<\/p>\n

A number of ISPs have been quietly testing the new tier, most prominently via Sky Broadband<\/a>’s special Sky Fibre<\/a> Lite<\/strong> product (here<\/a>), which has been offered to about 20,000<\/strong> of their subscribers with slow ADSL lines.<\/p>\n

Incidentally Sky’s trial is due to come to an end next week (14th Dec<\/strong>) and now it’s been noted via our Inbox (thanks Phil), as well as Thinkbroadband’s Forum<\/a>, that BTWholesale has updated their checker to reflect the new product (don’t expect it to show much as the trial is still running with limited availability).<\/p>\n

\"bt_wholesale_fttc_check_18mbps\"<\/div>\n

We’re unsure why there’s a SIM option showing for the new product, but SIM is usually shorthand for Simultaneous Provide (i.e. broadband and line rental \/ phone being provided at the same time or as close to that as possible).<\/p>\n

We know a few sub-10Mbps ADSL2+ users who might be tempted to take FTTC with this new tier, assuming ISPs price it like the normal ADSL2+ style services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
