Table 7.1 below sets out the proposed additional cost per broadband line to account for the extra costs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>\u2019s proposed network expansion.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the proposals set out in their consultation document, the allocation per broadband line will be \u00a30.39 in 2018\/19, \u00a31.19 in 2019\/20 and \u00a31.93 in 2020\/21 in Ofcom&#8217;s base case. This is equivalent to a monthly additional charge of around \u00a30.03 in 2018\/19, \u00a30.10 in 2019\/20 and \u00a30.16 in 2020\/21. Table 7.1 also presents the ranges over which Ofcom are consulting based on their various scenario analysis.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also included two tables to show how this will impact the current wholesale rental charges for fully unbundled (MPF) broadband lines and the 40Mbps <strong>Fibre-to-the-Cabinet<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a>) based service.

Just under half of broadband lines in the UK are still based on slower pure copper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> based lines and that\u2019s partly because they\u2019re so cheap and not everybody sees the faster services (FTTC, HFC, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> etc.), which usually cost a few \u00a3 extra per month, as a necessary upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the Government has yet to make a decision about whether or not to accept BT&#8217;s proposal and Ofcom&#8217;s final adjustment may go up or down depending on their consultation.
