However Sky&#8217;s current LLU network largely relates to their standard broadband (ADSL2+) service, while its superfast &#8220;<em>Fibre<\/em>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>) package is still forced to follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s footprint; this\u00a0currently reaches 40% of the UK and aims for 66% by 2015 (note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> aims to achieve 90% <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> coverage by 2017 but this is dependent upon future state aid support).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Lyssa McGowan from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a> said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>We\u2019ve invested more than \u00a31 billion in our network over the past six years to enable us to provide our customers with the best possible broadband service and offer value that\u2019s second to none. Since launching broadband in 2006, we\u2019ve grown significantly around the UK with a view to reaching coverage of 90% of the country by 2015.

But if BT does push its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> service out to 90% of the UK by 2017 then Sky will also want to ensure that its\u00a0network has similar coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly FTTC doesn&#8217;t currently come in a truly unbundled form (only more restrictive virtual LLU\u00a0\/ VULA), yet Sky can still leverage some of the capacity cost savings from its LLU network to help feed FTTC connections but only\u00a0where its coverage matches that of BT&#8217;s FTTC platform.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note today&#8217;s announcement follows the recent installation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> from The Cloud (BSkyB) in eight venues within Wraysbury village centre, including Caffe Nero, Loch Fyne and the Egham Constitutional Club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sky Broadband (BSkyB) has announced that its unbundled (LLU) network of UK telephone exchanges has hit the 2,000 mark, which means that their Unlimited Broadband service is now available to 82% of households but the roll-out won&#8217;t stop there.
