The network typically focuses on the most remote 3% of rural areas, which other big commercial operators would find financially\u00a0extremely difficult to tackle.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison BTOpenreach is expected to charge around \u00a31,500 to deploy its 330Mbps capable <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>-on-Demand<\/strong> (FTTPoD) solution to homes or businesses that reside roughly 500 metres away from one of their <strong>NGA Aggregation Node&#8217;s<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/01\/bt-openreach-confirm-uk-isp-pricing-for-fttp-on-demand-pilot-phase-2.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).
