Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has today named the next 51 UK exchange locations where they intend to move way from their old copper-based analogue phone (PSTN \/ WLR) services and on to a new all-IP network, which will apply in areas that receive over 75% coverage via their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network.<\/p>\n

Moving away from the old copper line telecoms network is a slow process, which starts with a gradual migration of traditional voice (PSTN) services to all-IP technologies (e.g. VoIP) by December 2025 (this is essential on pure fibre optic lines where light signals replace electrical ones). After that comes the complete switch-off of copper in favour of FTTP<\/a>, which is likely to be a much longer process (you first have to deploy FTTP<\/a> and then allow time for migration etc.).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a>’s FTTP currently covers 3 million premises (rising to 4.5m by March 2021) and is being backed by \u00a312bn to reach 20 million UK premises by the “mid \u2013 to late-2020s<\/em>” (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

Openreach<\/a> have already started to adapt their existing copper network to cope with IP based voice traffic (e.g. SOGEA<\/strong><\/a>), which helps to start the transition even before FTTP networks have become fully available. Otherwise the process for moving from copper to FTTP lines begins once 75% of premises in an exchange are able to receive their full fibre (target for this is 24 months after roll-out starts and copper switch-off might then occur c.3 years after \/ on top of that).<\/p>\n

Under this approach the process will start with a “no move back<\/em>” policy for premises connected with FTTP (i.e. no going back to copper), followed by a “stop-sell<\/em>” of copper services to new customers and ultimately full withdrawal. Openreach will also stop providing their own voice products after around 2025 – shifting the responsibility for delivering this and VoIP on to ISPs and wholesale providers.<\/p>\n

The Next Batch<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Back in the spring the operator announced the first 118 UK exchange locations where they would stop selling their old analogue phone services by June 2021 (here<\/a>). Today they announced the next batch of 51 locations were this process will take place, covering around 510,000 premises<\/strong> from October 2021 (combining with the previously announced 118 exchanges takes this to 1.8 million premises by October 2021).<\/p>\n

Mark Logan, Openreach’s Director of Products, told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re stepping up our plans to stop selling our legacy analogue services and instead focus on providing people with a modern, future proof full fibre connection that can deliver all manner of new digital services over the top.<\/p>\n

Our recently updated target to build full fibre broadband to 4.5m homes and businesses by end of March 2021 (up from 4m) is part of our accelerated build plan and has enabled migration efforts to also be brought forward.<\/p>\n

Full Fibre or \u2018Fibre to the Premises\u2019 technology (FTTP) will be available to more than 75% of homes in these 51 new locations by October 2021, as it makes no sense – both operationally and commercially, to keep the old and new network running side-by-side.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
