In a normal native <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> rollout <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> foots the bill from its own pocket to install the fibre cable down your street, but in a FoD installation it&#8217;s the customer who chooses to pay for the expensive civil engineering side of that build (often there would be no other prospect for FTTP without it).<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> After your FoD contract is up with an ISP, you should be able to switch to any normal FTTP broadband provider and package on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s network.<\/div>\n<p>Put another way, FoD enables you to get a gigabit FTTP line built right to your property, even if FTTP wasn&#8217;t previously planned or natively deployed to your area. All of this sounds good, but the high cost of building such infrastructure has tended to make it far too expensive for ordinary consumers (desktop quotes often run into the tens of thousands).<\/p>\n<p>The FoD product itself is thus typically aimed more at small businesses or homeowners with very deep pockets and an awful lot of patience (such builds can take a long time to deliver). Groups of premises can also apply via a linked order, which is often the cheapest way as the costs can be shared, although for some areas the <strong>Community Fibre Partnership<\/strong> (CFP) model may be a better fit.<\/p>\n<p>The good news, we think, is that FoD appears to be going through a few interesting new changes and some of these might make it more accessible.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>FoD Coverage Expansion<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/cpportal\/updates\/briefings\/ultrafast\/nga202221\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first change<\/a> relates to an &#8220;<em>expansion of availability<\/em>&#8220;. The official briefing for that announcement tells us nothing of any use, although our sources have enabled us to uncover what it means. Previously, if you wanted to take FoD then you needed to be in an area that was already covered by their slower (hybrid) <strong>Fibre-to-the-Cabinet<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a>) service.<\/p>\n<p>The big change is that FoD is no longer limited to areas with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> coverage. In other words, even those who currently only have access to pure copper line based ADSL2+ broadband services can now also order FoD, although the cost of doing that would probably be eye watering. But you&#8217;d still need to live within a FoD enabled exchange area.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>FoD Cost Changes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The biggest news today is perhaps the launch of their &#8220;<em>FTTP on Demand near network<\/em>&#8221; commercial trial, which will run for 6 months starting on<strong> 1st December 2021<\/strong> and ending on 31st May 2022 inclusive. Since cost is a major factor in any FoD order, then any changes on this front are usually of huge interest.<\/p>\n<p>Under the old system, the biggest cost (after spending hundreds of pounds on the connection charge) often occurred due to Excess Construction Charges (ECC) or similar. However, Openreach&#8217;s \u00a315bn investment, which aims to expand the reach of their FTTP network to cover 25 million UK premises by December 2026, has presented an opportunity to trial a different approach to FoD&#8217;s build costs.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>For eligible orders, the FOD build charge under the trial will now be set as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u27a4 \u00a31,625 where a splitter exists, but a connectorised block terminal (CBT) needs to be built (the CBT usually goes on top of a telegraph pole or in an underground chamber near-ish to your home\/office)<\/p>\n<p>\u27a4 \u00a32,650 where a new splitter build is required, as well as the CBT build<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We have seen quite a few cases, often at the edges of Openreach&#8217;s native FTTP rollout, where one side of the street gets the service and the other is left untouched (i.e. areas near, but not covered by, their commercial FTTP build). The new approach to FoD, while still a pricey endeavour for potential customers, might well provide a more rationally costed approach to solving issues like that.<\/p>\n<p>However, orders that don&#8217;t meet the qualifying criteria will progress at the standard FoD build charge. In addition, Openreach still only has a limited amount of capacity for handling FoD orders (their engineers are mostly focused on the national FTTP rollout), which, if such an approach were to prove popular, may create longer delays \/ lead-times (the high costs will probably continue to prevent that).<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/cpportal\/updates\/briefings\/ultrafast\/nga202421\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">briefing states<\/a> that, as with standard FOD orders, the FOD build may also result in additional premises being enabled to use FTTP nearby, served by the same CBT. In which case, the exemption per premises passed by PON (Passive Optical Network) will not be applied to the fixed build charge.<\/p>\n<p>The operator added that eligibility of an order for the trial &#8220;<em>will be determined by the Openreach planning process following completion of the standard FOD site survey and communicated to the relevant CP in a note provided with the build charge notification<\/em>,&#8221; which sounds to us as if eligible customers won&#8217;t be able to see if they&#8217;d benefit by just requesting a basic desktop quote for the work (i.e. you&#8217;d have to proceed with the order and get a full site survey done, at cost, first &#8211; not ideal). We&#8217;re checking this. As usual, those aren&#8217;t the only considerations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Qualifying criteria for FOD orders within the trial will be based on specific network conditions and are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u27a4 Head end capacity and spine capacity exists.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a4 Distance from either the planned NGA aggregation node or an existing FTTP splitter to the target FOD end customer premises is 500m or less.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exclusions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u27a4 Multi-Dwelling Unit, Multi-Occupancy Unit and FOD \u2018cluster\u2019 orders.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a4 Orders requiring civils work or presenting DIG (direct in ground) infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a4 Orders requiring significant internal work as part of the ONT installation (e.g. greater than 30m reach internal wiring) will not qualify for the trial.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Readers can view more details on FoD pricing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/orpg\/home\/products\/pricing\/notificationDetails.do?data=ThQLPOgdo8c%2FpcQlNXj7BVoAzMfOCIw%2B7d4ELMHNgDfhrsdg0bwXEVSNlIJW6IyDWgDMx84IjD7t3gQswc2AN5h5lI0XiKu8GtuFlNk%2FATgP%2FPqHX8N7wMqJrDCqzxUjKX9ukq4RSuolZF02%2ByFJag%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/orpg\/home\/products\/pricing\/loadProductPriceDetails.do?data=0WyIM7tTGGgucFf0dXUIWK4XSAplAmgrRZNg5Pk%2B5%2F%2BkRgB7BL4KNYn%2FlKx2YB4Qe6YShZ82RgLOGLsH2e9%2Bmw%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. We are quite keen to see some practical examples of real-world cost quotes between the old and new trial system, so if anybody gets this next month, then please do share.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 2nd Nov 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got a few extra details back from Openreach. Firstly, the coverage expansion for FoD will take effect from <strong>19th March 2022<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s not immediate.<\/p>\n<p>Openreach also confirmed that the &#8220;<em>desktop quotations will not provide confirmation that a site is eligible for the fixed charge, this will only be determined by a full site survey<\/em>.&#8221; In other words, we may have to wait until the change is fully implemented (outside of trial) before it becomes easier to assess its impact. This is because there are very few FoD orders made, but it&#8217;s currently quite easy to get a desktop quote without committing \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Openreach (BT) has today announced both a UK coverage expansion of their niche FTTP on Demand (FTTPoD or FoD) broadband ISP product and the introduction of a new FoD &#8220;near network commercial trial&#8220;, which looks as if it could make it significantly cheaper for some areas to order the full fibre product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29068,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,56,69],"class_list":["post-29067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-fttp","tag-bt-openreach"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
