Sometimes it’s interesting to probe a little deeper into the build strategies of different “full fibre<\/em>” networks, and we recently did just that with CityFibre<\/a> after seeing a number of instances where the operator’s civil engineering contractors seemed to be skipping lateral cuts in some of their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) deployments.<\/p>\n

CityFibre<\/a> is currently investing \u00a34bn to cover 1 million UK premises with their alternative gigabit-capable FTTP<\/a> broadband network by the end of 2021 (over 650,000 have already been reached) and then 8 million premises across 285 cities, towns and villages \u2013 c.30% of the UK (here<\/a>). The latter target is expected to be \u201csubstantially completed<\/em>\u201d by the end of 2025 and it’s supported by various ISPs (e.g. Vodafone<\/a>, Zen Internet<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a> etc.).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> A Toby Box (street connection point) – as pictured above – is an underground storage box, usually housing fibre Microducts and Splice enclosures. One box may be used to serve 1-2 homes.<\/div>\n

At this point those unfamiliar with the specifics of a “full fibre<\/em>” build might well be asking themselves the obvious question – just what is all this “laterals<\/em>” stuff he’s talking about? Some FTTP<\/a> deployments, particularly those from major players in dense urban areas (e.g. Openreach<\/a>, Virgin Media<\/a>, CityFibre<\/a>), will see operators dig a trench for their new cable ducts (via pavements, roads etc.) and then add a lateral cut outsides homes. The lateral cut often connects through a Toby Box in the pavement just outside your house.<\/p>\n

After that the “final drop<\/em>” connection into homes – over your own private property – is usually left until an order is made. The exception is if the local network is deployed onto a new build site, since such homes could be fully pre-installed. However, there can be lots of variations in the approaches taken between operators and so this description is an oversimplification. The approach for an overhead (telegraph poles etc.) build is also different.<\/p>\n

Sometimes lateral cuts aren’t needed, such as when an operator is only running a fibre duct down your street because it’s being built for a private business connection (leased line), or if the operator wants to speed up their deployment and possibly reduce some of their initial build costs (e.g. skipping laterals in areas where you expect take-up to be low). In the case of the latter, this may push the cost for doing laterals into the final drop.<\/p>\n

In other cases alternative network providers, particularly those in rural areas, may simply run a house drop tube to wherever they think is sensibly close enough to local homes (often to the boundary) and cap it off. Broadly speaking, there can be various different approaches, but laterals and tobys remain most common for big operators with big urban deployments.<\/p>\n

The use of Openreach<\/a>’s Physical Infrastructure Access<\/strong> (PIA) product, which enables rival operators to run fibre through the incumbent’s existing cable ducts and poles, may also change a provider’s approach in some areas.<\/p>\n

Laterals on CityFibre<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Over the past few months some of our more observant readers have helped us to spot that a few parts of CityFibre’s recent FTTP builds have been conducted without adding laterals, which is not something we’ve seen from them before. As above, the largest urban fibre builders generally do build laterals to homes as they go.<\/p>\n

In this case most of the examples have come from several streets in Leeds, although other anecdotal evidence has cropped up elsewhere around the UK. Naturally we were curious whether this meant CityFibre had adopted a new build strategy, although it seems like they only intend to do it very occasionally.<\/p>\n

A CityFibre spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We can confirm that no changes have been made to our network design and build model in this respect. In almost all cases, laterals cuts will be built at the same time as the main route. There may be occasional instances in which this approach is altered but this is not for reasons of demand, competition or cost control.<\/p>\n

As we build, we drop fibre as close to every prospective customer premises as possible. This enables us to offer our customers and theirs with a quick single-visit installation, typically completed in less than two hours and with industry leading Right-First-Time scores. We have also proven this to be the most efficient approach from a speed of deployment, resource allocation and cost of build perspective.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We should point out that doing laterals in the pavement isn’t as massively disruptive as the main build, but it can still attract a fair cost (experiences may vary), and thus for big operators it usually makes more sense to do them at the same time as you’re trenching through the pavement. This also helps to keep later installation costs for homes down to a minimum.<\/p>\n

As above, CityFibre states that their approach is all about finding the fastest and most efficient approach to conduct their build. The operator claims to have done a lot of research on this so that they can pass as many properties as possible. However, we understand that their method may sometimes change, such as when they also have a wholesale customer or particular existing infrastructure to deal with.<\/p>\n

So, if you see CityFibre’s contractors doing laterals for FTTP in one street, but not your street (i.e. only the trench is cut), then this doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t be able to order their service once it goes live (unless of course the work is for a private fibre line as that is a different service entirely). Some people have expressed concern to us about the latter, but hopefully this answers that.<\/p>\n

Likewise, other operators have different approaches, so don’t expect lateral cuts to be the norm for everybody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
