The rapid rollout of gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband ISP networks across the UK – occurring via a mass of different networks (Summary<\/a>) – is wonderful to see, but we would caution consumers not to bank their future choice of provider until AFTER such networks have been deployed and gone live.<\/p>\n

At present over 65% of UK premises can access a gigabit-capable network (mix of FTTP<\/a> and Virgin Media<\/a>’s HFC), which falls to over 30% when just looking at “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>) providers (here<\/a>), but this is rapidly increasing. Suffice to say, in some areas there can be a temptation to see an announcement about a future build and to thus plan your next ISP choice around that.<\/p>\n

However, it’s crucial to recognise that such build plans and related dates are tentative, which means they’re subject to change and such change – if it happens – often occurs near to when the deployment itself was originally supposed to take place (i.e. at the 11th hour). In addition, once a new network has been built, then it can still take between several weeks and up to 12-18 months before the first retail ISPs actually go live (varies between operators and areas due to lots of different factors).<\/p>\n

Over the past few months’ we’ve seen an up-tick in complaints from readers about this, many of whom have planned to switch ISP by looking at the build date for a new network, while at the same time assuming that this will be both accurate and reflective of actual service availability. As highlight above, this is frequently NOT the case. In some cases, a network operator may even pull out of a build entirely due to unforeseen problems.<\/p>\n

For consumers, all of this makes it difficult to organise your current contract terms and ISP choice. On the one hand, you want the flexibility to switch as soon as the new FTTP network goes live. On the other hand, you might not want to be stuck paying expensive out-of-contract rates with your current provider for too long, or to tie yourself into a slower service at the wrong time.<\/p>\n

All of this is a headache, but it’s also why we advocate for the cautious approach. Wait until the new network has been built and is live before you make your decision, lest you find yourself being caught out. We’d also advise avoiding trusting the promises of sales people, who in many cases may assure you of availability, often right up until the moment the operator scraps or significantly delays their build. Trust what exists, not what is promised.<\/p>\n

In areas where there is greater uncertainty around final service availability (pretty common), then we’d advise temporarily moving to an ISP with affordable shorter-term contracts (e.g. on Openreach<\/a> there are various options, such as Pulse8<\/a> and Cuckoo Broadband<\/a> with 1-month terms), or just try to tough it out with the post-contract prices of your current ISP for a bit longer.<\/p>\n

The calculation above is of course more of a challenge if you’re involved in a demand-led community build project, where committing to take a future service (i.e. an expression of interest) is part of what may make that build commercially viable in the first place. In those cases, you might need to sacrifice a little more to ensure you meet that commitment and can adopt the service as soon as it goes live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
