But as we first reported back in July 2021, VMO2 have a plan to upgrade those HFC areas to symmetric speed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> broadband by the end of 2028, using <strong>XGS-PON<\/strong> technology (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/07\/virgin-media-o2-to-replace-existing-uk-network-with-full-fibre.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>By utilising the company&#8217;s existing fully-ducted network (i.e. the tubes through which fibre cables can be laid), the cost of delivery is forecast to be around <strong>\u00a3100 per premises passed<\/strong>. But that excludes the usual final drop installation costs (after you make an order), which we think could be worth anything from around \u00a350 to \u00a3100.<\/p>\n<p>However, before that gets underway, VMO2 have decided to conduct a trial with <strong>50,000 homes<\/strong>, which we&#8217;ve just been able to confirm is now underway in three locations: <strong>Stoke<\/strong>, <strong>Salisbury<\/strong> and <strong>Wakefield<\/strong>. The trials currently appear to be progressing well, and more information should be released as part of the operator&#8217;s next financial results (due early 2022).<\/p>\n<p>The decision to include Salisbury is interesting because, in recent years, that city has also been quite closely associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s various all-IP network transition and FTTP deployment trials. VMO2 may well be keen to see what kind of impact their XGS-PON deployment has on the customer dynamic and competition in such areas, as well as what migration challenges it may throw up for existing subscribers, among other things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 21st Dec 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>VMO2&#8217;s former Director of Infrastructure Engineering &amp; Delivery, <strong>Mathew Tully<\/strong>, has just been named Director of <strong>Mustang <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a><\/strong> at the same operator, which he confirms is the official project name for the operator&#8217;s FTTP upgrade programme: &#8220;<em>Mustang is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> O2s full fibre rollout of its existing 14 million homes by the end of 2028 &#8230; It\u2019s a significant challenge, and I will be building a team to deliver throughout 2022, ahead of completing the programme in 2028<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month we reported that Virgin Media (VMO2) had begun trials in three cities to test their UK plan for upgrading existing Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) based network areas with Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband &#8211; using XGS-PON technology (here).
