Residents in the rural village of Llanvaches near Newport (South Wales) will soon be able to benefit from a new 1Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband network thanks to UK ISP Spectrum Internet<\/a>, which is being part-funded by the Rural Gigabit Voucher Scheme. But Openreach<\/a>’s rival state aid supported rollout isn’t far behind.<\/p>\n

The project was only spotted after a local resident in the village informed us that Spectrum Internet had started deploying their FTTP<\/a> network in the area, and the expectation is that it live by the end of March 2021. Meanwhile, the civil engineering side looks as if it’s being carried out by contractor Complete Utilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> This is not part of Spectrum’s new \u00a3200m project, which aims to cover 150,000 premises by late 2025 and is due to begin soon (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

A quick look at the area shows that Net Support UK<\/a> (NSUK) is listed as “excavating to install fibre optic cable and customer connections<\/em>” in the village, which is home to around 400 people. This is relevant because, back in February last year, the Welsh Government<\/a> awarded a 20-year concession to NSUK that gave them the rights to access the WG’s existing ducts and trunk roads in order to install new fibre (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Spectrum has previously announced that they planned to take advantage of this same concession agreement, which would mean working with NSUK and that helps to explain their involvement in the project. So far, so normal.<\/p>\n

A Spokesperson for Spectrum Internet told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Spectrum is currently building a full fibre network to around 100 premises in Llanvaches – with the aim of connecting our first customers in the village in the next few weeks. This was planned pre-investment. The work is a continuation of Spectrum Internet\u2019s programme of community full fibre projects and is being part-funded by the Rural Gigabit Voucher Scheme.<\/p>\n

As the build takes place in Llanvaches, we are also finalising our plans to bring full fibre to other communities across south Wales following our recent investment. The new rollout will start with homes and businesses in Pembrokeshire, the Vale of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire later this summer. Further details on specific locations and premises will follow shortly.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interestingly, locals say that Openreach<\/a> is now targeting their village with FTTP<\/a> too. We did contact Openreach<\/a> about this, and they confirmed the plan, as well as the fact that their project is being supported by the Welsh Government<\/a> and Building Digital UK<\/a> (i.e. it’s part of the state aid supported \u00a352.5m Phase 2 Superfast Cymru<\/strong><\/a> contract – here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The clash is potentially quite controversial because both projects seem to be harnessing some degree of public investment, one via direct state aid and the other via publicly funded vouchers (i.e. the rules say they shouldn’t be overbuilding each other, at least not while using public funding to do so), although there are some caveats to this.<\/p>\n

Openreach’s engineers are understood to have surveyed the community in 2020 and the build plans were then approved in January. Assuming all goes to plan then Openreach expects to connect residents in the village within 6-9 months, which is obviously sometime after Spectrum’s project will have completed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Spectrum said they’re “aware of Openreach’s plans for a FTTP build to a small number of properties in Llanvaches at some point in the future \u2013 however, this does not impact on our work in the village<\/em>.” By the sounds of it Openreach and Spectrum’s publicly funded deployments may initially avoid each other, but it remains to be seen whether either operator will attempt an overbuild by doing the rest of the area (e.g. as part of a purely commercial extension).<\/p>\n

However, regardless of what happens, the main thing is that homes and businesses in the village will soon be able to benefit from access to gigabit-capable broadband connectivity, even if the split of network coverage between different operators could make it a bit more awkward for locals to navigate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
