Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has published the Tranche 9 batch of 65 new UK exchange areas where they plan to move away from copper-based analogue phone (PSTN \/ WLR etc.) services and on to a new all-IP network, which will also occur once over 75% of premises in an area can get their “ultrafast broadband<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a> and G.fast<\/a> at 300Mbps+).<\/p>\n

At present there are two different, albeit closely related, stages to moving away from the old copper line infrastructure. The first starts with the gradual migration of traditional voice (PSTN) services to all-IP technologies (e.g. SOGEA<\/strong><\/a>), which is due to complete by December 2025<\/strong> and is occurring on copper line products (i.e. copper and full fibre ISPs are both introducing digital VoIP style voice solutions for customers).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a>’s full fibre currently covers 8 million UK premises (build rate of c.58,000 per week) and they aim to reach 25 million by Dec 2026 (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

The second stage involves the ongoing rollout of faster Fibre-to-the-Premise<\/strong>s (FTTP<\/a>) broadband infrastructure – using light signals via optical fibre, instead of slower electrical signals via copper. Only after this second stage has largely completed in an exchange area can you really start to switch-off copper in favour of fibre, which is a longer process as you have to allow a few years for user migration.<\/p>\n

The process for fully moving from copper to “fibre<\/em>” begins once 75% of premises in an exchange are able to receive ultrafast connectivity. We note that hybrid fibre G.fast<\/a> coverage also counts for this, but its impact will be small (the rollout stopped at 2.83 million premises) and is only relevant where speeds of 300Mbps+ are achievable.<\/p>\n

Between the full fibre rollout and the gradual switch away from copper lines, this process will take several years in each area to complete, and the pace will vary from place to place (i.e. some areas will have better fibre coverage than others).<\/p>\n

The Next 65 Exchange Locations (Tranche 9)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The migration process away from the legacy services usually starts with a “no move back<\/em>” (i.e. no going back to copper) policy for premises connected with FTTP<\/a>, which is followed by a “stop-sell<\/em>” of copper services to new customers (12-months notice is given before this starts and that’s what today’s list represents).<\/p>\n

The above stage is then followed by a final “withdrawal<\/em>” phase. At present, Openreach<\/a> are already preparing to fully shut down and withdraw older analogue products in two trial areas – Salisbury<\/strong> and Mildenhall<\/strong> – and they’ve notified ISPs that these products will be withdrawn in Spring 2023. But many will follow, including those in today’s list, albeit not for a while.<\/p>\n

The 65 exchanges announced today takes the total number of notified exchange upgrades that have already been notified as part of the aforementioned process (including trial exchanges) to 651. The “stop sell” in these areas will be introduced from 8th August 2023.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach has around 5,600 exchanges, but hybrid fibre (FTTC<\/a>, G.fast<\/a>) and full fibre (FTTP) services are supplied via different exchanges (c.1,000 of that 5,600 total) – so up to 4,600 will eventually close (after 2030) – see here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/div>\n

The operator has also added a Stop Sells Page<\/strong><\/a> to their website, which makes it easy to see all of these changes. Remember, the following list is tentative, so changes and delays do sometimes occur.<\/p>\n
