Alternative broadband providers are about to begin a new trial that will, for the first time, grant their engineers the ability to replace an existing copper dropwire on an existing Openreach<\/a> pole (telegraph pole) with a new optical fibre one for gigabit-capable broadband, albeit only under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n

In the past, we’ve talked quite a lot about various challenges with capacity on poles (example<\/a>), both at the Connectorised Block Terminal (CBT) box at the top – for connecting homes to full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) ISPs – and in terms of weight (i.e. the number of wires\/cables that can be accommodated). One way of balancing this is by removing an old copper line as you add in a new fibre.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The CBT is that odd looking rectangular black box at the top of a pole with circular nodules sticking out – they can usually handle up to 12 ports and in busy areas may become full.<\/div>\n

Openreach<\/a>’s Physical Infrastructure Access<\/strong> (PIA) product also allows alternative network providers to run their own fibre via existing cable ducts and poles, but it does have limits. For example, it doesn’t allow altnets to replace existing copper drop wires with fibre. This is understandable (the copper is not part of the altnets network), but it can slow some deployments while they wait for Openreach<\/a> to do the work.<\/p>\n

CityFibre<\/a> states that they recently submitted a formal Statement of Requirements<\/strong> (SoR) to permit altnets to replace an existing copper dropwire (i.e. the one that runs from a pole to your home) with a new fibre one. Openreach have agreed to proceed with a trial of this change, which should help to reduce failed installations caused by a pole being deemed defective (‘D’) after an order has been accepted.<\/p>\n

“It should ensure no end customer is left waiting for the six months or so it can take for Openreach to replace a defective pole<\/em>,” said Sarah Parsons, CityFibre<\/a>’s Director of Compliance. “PIA is vastly improved since its emergence over a decade ago. As testimony to its enhanced usability and scalability, over 50% of the properties we connect with our own fibre today are serviced through PIA. We currently account for around 25% of all product usage, with some 90 smaller altnets making up the remaining 75%<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Compared to self-build, CityFibre<\/a> added that PIA can cut the speed of rollout by roughly half. Instead of digging 9 metres per property on average, they typically need only dig around 4.5 metres. “We also estimate that a \u2018traditional dig\u2019 can be 7.5 times more carbon intensive than using PIA<\/em>,” said Sarah.<\/p>\n

The Proof of Concept (PoC) trial is due to get underway on 22nd June 2022<\/strong>. As above, Openreach’s related briefing (here<\/a>) said that it would only apply to “poles where it is necessary and would qualify as a Network Adjustment and where the poles are classed by Openreach as \u2018Policy D-Pole\u2019 [defective] and at full loading<\/em>.” Broadly, this is a useful and welcome change, and we suspect that altnets will not have any major trouble in adapting to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
