The new packages are also certain to be more expensive than their current asymmetric tiers but we don&#8217;t yet have any details on that.<\/p>\n<p>Separately we note that there have been a few other developments on the FTTP front at Openreach. The first is a new &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/orpg\/home\/updates\/briefings\/ultrafastfibreaccessbriefings\/ultrafastfibreaccessbriefingarticles\/nga200619.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>inside out<\/em><\/a>&#8221; trial, which will be tested on orders in brownfield areas (i.e. previously developed land that is not currently in use) around Leeds and Edinburgh (tentative). In this setup engineers complete the in-home installation on the morning of the appointment, prior to the exterior work being completed (likely to be more efficient this way and more convenient for the home owner if delays hit the external work).<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere Openreach also plans to transition to a 1+0 <strong>Optical Network Unit<\/strong> (ONT) during 2020, which is the bit of kit that they install inside homes as part of an FTTP installation. The new ONT is a one data port box with no Analogue Telephony Adaptor (ATA) capability.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the ONT, the operator has recently done some FTTP installs around <strong>Stourbridge<\/strong> by using a new <strong>Nokia<\/strong> based ONT. At present many such installs tend to use an ONT from <strong>Huawei<\/strong> but that company is currently the subject of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/07\/gov-report-warns-uk-telecoms-may-face-security-risk-from-huawei.html\">much uncertainty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At present their FTTP network covers 1.3 million premises across the UK (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/05\/new-bt-ceo-reports-ultrafast-broadband-cover-of-3-2m-uk-premises.html\">details<\/a>) and they&#8217;re growing at a rate of about 20,000+ per week. We understand that this 1.2m splits down to around 700,000 brownfield premises, 200,000 greenfield premises and nearly 400,000 city premises.<\/p>\n<p>Openreach aims to reach 4 million premises by March 2021 with FTTP and there&#8217;s an ambition for 15 million by around 2025. After that they also have an aspiration to reach &#8220;<em>the majority of the UK, if the right conditions to invest are in place<\/em>.&#8221; Current build costs are around <strong>\u00a3300 &#8211; \u00a3400 per premises passed<\/strong> and OR believes that it can &#8220;<em>pass around 50% of UK premises within this range of costs.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At present the two fastest packages on Openreach&#8217;s (BT) Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based broadband ISP network are asymmetric options, which offer peak download speeds of 500Mbps or 1000Mbps and uploads of 165Mbps or 220Mbps respectively.
