At the time the operator promised that 1 million premises would be covered by their ultrafast (330Mbps) fibre optic based <strong>Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> service, which was even revised upwards to 2.5m in October 2009 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/story\/2009\/10\/09\/bt-doubles-next-gen-uk-ftth-broadband-rollout-and-reveals-more-detail.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Since then the investment has increased (<strong>\u00a32.5bn<\/strong>) and the commercial target set at 66% of the UK by spring 2014 but most of this has gone towards their up to 80Mbps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> service. In reality it&#8217;s somewhat well known that the FTTP project didn&#8217;t go quite according to plan, which is reflected by the fact that, at the end of 2012, the service had passed just 100,000 premises.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from being costly to roll-out, which wasn&#8217;t helped by a lack of pro-broadband legislation (the government&#8217;s Growth and Infrastructure Bill is only now being debated), the service was also challenging to setup. Several 2011 trials showed that it could take <strong>7 hours and two engineers to install<\/strong> the service (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/story\/2011\/05\/25\/bt-launch-of-uk-100mbps-fibre-optic-broadband-delayed-by-installation-woes.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), or sometimes longer, into a single home (the target was supposedly around 2 hours).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A BTOpenreach Spokeswoman told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>This figure was provided many years ago and was always an estimate as opposed to a firm target. It is far less relevant today given we&#8217;ve doubled the speeds available via FTTC and from the end of this month we&#8217;re starting to make FTTP available on demand. This will allow more customers to upgrade to the ultra-fast speeds offered by FTTP should they wish to. The reality is that by focusing on FTTC, we&#8217;ve been able to bring the benefits of fibre to a far bigger footprint over a much shorter period of time<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> does point out that their 2.5 million FTTP target was for the commercial roll-out and apparently work to expand the native coverage of its FTTP service will still continue through the <strong>state aid<\/strong> supported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> (BDUK) scheme. Sadly it&#8217;s too early to know how far beyond the current 100k figure this will take FTTP.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly BT&#8217;s new <strong>FTTP-on-Demand<\/strong> service, which will make FTTP available to all existing FTTC supporting lines, is due to go live on Monday <strong>29th April 2013<\/strong> next week. But this is more of a &#8220;<em>premium<\/em>&#8221; \/ business focused service that would cost some home owners thousands of pounds to install (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/03\/bt-confirm-final-uk-isp-prices-and-launch-of-330mbps-fttp-on-demand.html\" target=\"_blank\">full details<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In short nobody\u00a0should be surprised by the fact that BT&#8217;s 2.5 million target has been tippexed out. The writing has been on the wall for quite a few years, albeit unofficially. Likewise the heavy focus on improving FTTC&#8217;s coverage and performance (e.g. vectoring) is now clearly BT&#8217;s primary direction for the foreseeable future (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/04\/bt-reveals-uk-fttc-broadband-isp-self-installation-and-vectoring-trials.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).
