Sadly the ISP said that they have &#8220;<em>no plans to offer this service on a long-term basis<\/em>.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The trial deployment was first discovered in 2015 after a team of Sky&#8217;s (Easynet) engineers were spotted building new telegraph poles and fibre optic cable ducting around the civil parish village of Woodville, Midway and the Swadlincote areas of <strong>Derbyshire<\/strong> in England (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/06\/sky-broadband-spotted-building-new-950mbps-ftth-trial-in-derbyshire.html\">here<\/a>). At the time it was estimated that roughly 5,000 local homes could benefit (this would have cost a fair bit to roll-out &#8211; guessing c.\u00a32m).<\/p>\n<p>The development was similar to Sky&#8217;s earlier 2014 trial of a 950Mbps (Megabits per second) capable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>\/P network around the town of Basingstoke in <strong>Hampshire<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/06\/sky-broadband-trial-950mbps-fibre-optic-service-basingstoke-uk.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>). Crucially both of the Derbyshire and Hampshire builds are entirely separate from Sky&#8217;s more recent &#8216;Ultra Fibre Optic&#8217; joint venture with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> in the city of York (currently Sky remain an active wholesale partner on that deployment).<\/p>\n<p>Apparently the Swadlincote area was originally selected because Sky believed that local residents were interested in ultrafast broadband and because it offered a representative cross section of the terrains \/ conditions that could be found elsewhere in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>However the operator never revealed any findings from their earlier 2014\/15 trials and in 2016 Sky&#8217;s CEO confirmed that they had no plans to build further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>\/P networks in the UK (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/04\/sky-confirm-no-plans-build-uk-fibre-optic-broadband-network.html\">here<\/a>). In that sense the writing was already on the wall and it was perhaps just a matter of time until they made the decision to end it.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve pasted a copy of the letter below (sorry for the quality). This was kindly sent to ISPreview.co.uk by one of the affected customers (Chris), who said: &#8220;<em>I can&#8217;t understand why sky will not offer a product on it, as it&#8217;s worked flawlessly for the trial period<\/em>.&#8221; Our article continues below.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" style=\"border-radius: 4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2018-article-illustrations\/sky_broadband_swandicote_trial_letter_ispreview.jpg\" alt=\"sky_broadband_swandicote_trial_letter_ispreview\" width=\"80%\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The timing of this development is particularly interesting because it follows a little over one month after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a> largely confirmed that they were going to launch a new range of &#8220;<em>ultrafast broadband<\/em>&#8221; packages, which would be based off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> network instead of building their own (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/09\/isp-sky-broadband-uk-to-sell-openreach-g-fast-and-fttp-broadband.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>More importantly it also comes hot on the heels of Comcast&#8217;s successful \u00a330bn move to take control of Sky plc (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/09\/all-change-as-comcast-win-bidding-war-with-fox-for-sky-uk.html\">here<\/a>). The US cable giant is heavily broadband centric and if any owner was going to take a different approach in the future then it&#8217;s them.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage the Comcast deal is still being finalised and during such a transition there&#8217;s usually a period of pause, where no major decisions are taken (i.e. allowing the new owner time to choose a new strategy). So we can speculate that either today&#8217;s decision was taken long before any deal was agreed (the trial was originally only supposed to run for 6 months) or Comcast has given an unofficial nod to it, which might suggest that they&#8217;re happy to stick with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> model.<\/p>\n<p>We have requested a comment from Sky and are awaiting their response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customers of Sky Broadband&#8217;s early 1Gbps Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) deployment in Swandicote (Derbyshire) have this month been informed that the trial is due to end on 1st November 2018.
