Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has today announced the addition of a further 51 UK exchanges under ‘Tranche 11<\/em>‘ of their project to move away from copper-based analogue phone (PSTN \/ WLR etc.) services and on to a new all-IP<\/a> network, which can also occur once over 75% of premises in each area are able to get FTTP<\/a> broadband.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, there are two different, but related, phases to moving away from the old copper line infrastructure (these can sometimes cross-over each other). The first starts with the gradual migration of traditional analogue voice (PSTN) services to digital all-IP<\/a> technologies (e.g. SOGEA<\/strong><\/a>), which is due to complete by December 2025<\/strong> and is occurring on both copper and full fibre line products (i.e. ISPs are introducing digital voice \/ VoIP<\/a> style solutions for customers).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a>’s full fibre currently covers over 9 million UK premises (build rate of c.62,000 per week) and they aim to reach 25 million (80%+) by Dec 2026.<\/div>\n

The second phase involves the ongoing rollout of gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premise<\/strong>s (FTTP<\/a>) broadband infrastructure – using light signals via optical fibre instead of electrical signals via slow copper lines. 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

Take note that the process for fully moving from copper to “fibre<\/em>” begins once 75% of premises in an exchange are able to receive ultrafast broadband connectivity. We note that hybrid fibre G.fast<\/a> technology also counts toward 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 (i.e. some areas have better FTTP coverage than others). We should add that Openreach currently plans to stop selling all analogue phone lines to new customers by September 2023<\/strong> (as above, this has no impact on IP \/ SOGEA based copper or full fibre lines).<\/p>\n

The 51 New Exchange Locations (Tranche 11)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

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

The 51 exchanges announced today – covering 513,000 premises – take the total number of exchange upgrades that have already been notified as part of the aforementioned process (including trial exchanges) to 712 (c.6.6 million premises). The “stop sell<\/em>” in these areas will be introduced from 16th February 2023. But take note that we only show 40 of these below, since the full list also includes 11 exchanges that have already been notified and moved from previous tranches.<\/p>\n

As it stands today, around 3.9 million premises are already under stop sell for copper products, with a further 2.6 million coming actively under stop sell in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach has around 5,600 exchanges, but hybrid fibre (FTTC, 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
