The latter would contribute \u00a3400m and TalkTalk \u00a3100m (plus they expected take on c.\u00a31bn in debt).<\/p>\n<p>Since then there have been no truly significant updates on the project, aside from the appointment of a few bosses and a rumour that they might engage in a spot of passive infrastructure sharing with rival <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/05\/talktalk-and-virgin-media-moot-uk-broadband-infrastructure-sharing.html\">here<\/a>). The same cannot be said for their rivals, many of which have been busy announcing major roll-outs (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/04\/building-uk-summary-fttp-broadband-rollouts-investment.html\">Summary of UK Full Fibre Plans<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>The radio silence has left some to wonder, ourselves included, whether or not TalkTalk&#8217;s own plans might have been overtaken or jeopardised by the rapidly rising ambitions of their rivals. After all it&#8217;s likely that the ISP would need to target many of the same urban areas, which is increasingly difficult when you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/hyperopticfibre\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Hyperoptic<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a>, Community Fibre and others fighting over them too.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless the provider remains adamant about their intention to reach 3 million premises.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A TalkTalk Spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;TalkTalk plans to be at the heart of Britain\u2019s full-fibre future. As the leading value-for-money provider, we want to ensure all our customers can access it at affordable prices.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve outlined our commitment to roll-out full-fibre to three million homes via a new infrastructure company, and we have already appointed a new CEO and Chairman. We\u2019ll provide further updates shortly.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We think that TalkTalk would have done better to team-up with an existing project, much like they did in <strong>York<\/strong> (pictured top) with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> and initially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a> too as part of their city-wide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> deployment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/10\/talktalk-extend-940mbps-ftth-broadband-york-40000-premises.html\">here<\/a>). This would have made a lot more sense, particularly given the known shortage of skilled telecoms engineers and the rising level of competitive build ambitions between operators.<\/p>\n<p>Going it alone carries more risk today than it did a year ago. In addition, the more independent networks that emerge, the greater the potential for consumer confusion from lots of different &#8220;<em>full fibre<\/em>&#8221; services. This is one of several reasons why we eventually anticipate a flurry of consolidation as networks seek to grow and centralise through acquisition, but they of course have to actually build something first.<\/p>\n<p>In any case all eyes will now be on TalkTalk&#8217;s forthcoming results announcement, which we hope will offer a more substantial update on their future <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> plans, ideally including a solid time-scale for the deployment and perhaps even some information on which areas will be the first to benefit. The ISP is perhaps better placed than most to make a success of such a deployment but they can&#8217;t afford to linger for much longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Budget UK ISP TalkTalk has told ISPreview.co.uk that they still &#8220;plan to be at the heart of Britain&#8217;s full-fibre future&#8221;
