Earlier this year we reported on an increasingly common example of how network capacity problems on Openreach<\/a>’s UK telegraph poles can prevent people from ordering a new Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband service via their ISP (here<\/a>). Today we share a little more detail on the operator’s plan for tackling this.<\/p>\n

At present Openreach<\/a>’s new gigabit-capable “full fibre<\/em>” broadband network is available to over 4.5 million premises (homes and businesses) across the United Kingdom, although they plan to extend this out to reach as many as 20 million premises by around 2025-30 (at a cost of c.\u00a312bn).<\/p>\n

The new network tends to be deployed via either underground (e.g. fibre trenching in the pavement) or overhead (e.g. fibre running over new or existing poles \/ telegraph poles) methods. However, over the past few months we’ve been hearing about more and more cases where general capacity problems on poles can hamper new orders from consumers or disrupt deployments.<\/p>\n

Naturally, such problems may become more common as FTTP<\/a> coverage expands.<\/p>\n

The Problem<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Such pole capacity issues typically come in a couple of different forms, both physical and also loading onto poles mechanically.<\/p>\n

Openreach<\/a> Pole Capacity Issues<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a4 Mechanical<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of wires which can be attached to a pole (there are limits on how many wires a pole can hold).<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Physical<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Connectorised-Block-Terminal\"The space at the top of the pole where a Connectorised Block Terminal (CBT) usually is. The CBT is that odd looking rectangular black box at the top of a pole with circular nodules sticking out – they can usually handle up to 12 ports and in busy areas may become full.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Openreach will normally plan and build FTTP<\/a> in a way that ensures there will be enough lines to cater for expected demand, but there are sometimes cases where demand (or some other factor) can upset that model. Whether due to an issue with load on the poles or merely port capacity at the CBT, resolving pole capacity issues can be a complex problem (depending on the area, type of pole and arc of dropwires etc.).<\/p>\n

One of the biggest risks here is Health & Safety (H&S) because the operator must ensure that their engineers, or alternative network (altnet) providers using Physical Infrastructure Access<\/strong> solutions (i.e. rivals running their own fibre over OR’s poles), can carry out provisions and repairs on poles safely.<\/p>\n

The less space there is available on poles, the higher the risk to the engineers operating on their pole infrastructure and the more restrictions faced by PIA deployments etc.<\/p>\n

The Solution
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

As we reported back in February 2021, Openreach have been conducting somewhat of a proactive policy review of this issue, and they recently shared their latest thinking with PIA ISPs. The change will see them adopt a more flexible and risk-based approach to handling pole capacity.<\/p>\n

On top of that they will look to configure new lower steps on poles so that there is more space available at the top of the pole, but engineers can still climb safely. Finally, they’ve also implemented a new PIA accreditation option to empower suitably qualified operatives to lower steps to increase usable space at the pole top, upon which to place their own network infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Openreach sees this as being a quicker path for deployment for initial fibre build for altnet providers, and they can continue to work to service their customers, albeit without coming to Openreach for network adjustment. Hopefully this extra flexibility will result in fewer delays for service provisions or abortive appointments.<\/p>\n

Admittedly this won’t completely prevent all pole capacity issues, but it’s progress. Existing approaches will also continue to apply, such as replacing copper wires as new fibre ones are added (where viable) and or adopting hybrid copper and fibre drop cables. Sometimes you can also do a pole swap to increase the total number of drop wires permitted (preferable to adding completely new poles into an area and thus having to reroute all drops).<\/p>\n

One other area that still needs some improvement is the communication of such issues. At present consumers are often left in the dark or given conflicting information about why they’re having to wait or how long they’ll need to wait, which could be resolved by a greater degree of transparency over such issues. This needs to come from ISPs just as much as it should come from Openreach and other network suppliers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
