We put the question to Openreach after end-of-play yesterday afternoon (a bit too late for a reply) and are awaiting further details.<\/p>\n<p>At present our strong suspicion is that the offer could be mated to the forthcoming extension of Openreach&#8217;s LR-VDSL trial into <strong>Ashcott<\/strong> (Somerset) and <strong>Peatling Magna<\/strong> (Leicestershire) during early 2017, although this doesn&#8217;t strictly have to be taken as a SIM provide but it may be a way to help encourage locals off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> (LR-VDSL works best when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> is switched off). A deployment of their 18Mbps tier could be another possible reason.<\/p>\n<p>We highly doubt that Openreach would be willing to gift 6 months of free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> rental to ISPs for the whole of the United Kingdom, so expect an update to this news when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> responds.
