Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has confirmed the next batch of 18 UK exchanges under ‘Tranche 13<\/em>‘ of their project to move away from older copper-based analogue phone (PSTN \/ WLR etc.) services and on to a new all-IP network, which in this case will also occur once over 75% of premises in each area are able to get FTTP<\/a> broadband.<\/p>\n

At present, there are two programmes for moving away from old copper lines and services, which can sometimes criss-cross each other. The first starts with the gradual migration of traditional analogue voice (PSTN) services to digital all-IP technologies (e.g. SOGEA<\/strong><\/a>), which is due to complete by December 2025<\/strong> and is occurring for both copper and full fibre products (i.e. ISPs are introducing digital voice \/ VoIP style services).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a>’s full fibre currently covers over 11 million UK premises (build rate of c.54,000 per week) and they aim to reach 25 million (80%+) by Dec 2026.<\/div>\n

The second programme involves the ongoing rollout of gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (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 completely switch-off copper lines, but that’s a much longer process as you have to allow a few years for user migration.<\/p>\n

Take note that the process for fully moving away from copper to “fibre<\/em>” begins once 75% of premises in an exchange are able to receive ultrafast broadband connectivity. The news today is thus focused on this second phase (i.e. “FTTP<\/a> Priority Exchange<\/em>” areas).<\/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<\/a> will stop selling all analogue phone lines to new customers by 5th September 2023<\/strong> (this has no impact on IP \/ SOGEA based copper or full fibre broadband lines).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> SOGEA (FTTC<\/a>), SOTAP (ADSL2+) and SOGfast (G.fast<\/a>) are all copper-based broadband-only products, where voice services can only be added as an optional digital IP \/ VoIP phone service (i.e. no analogue phones).<\/div>\n

18 New Exchange Locations (Tranche 13)<\/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, but that comes later. The stop sell is applied at premises level, so it shouldn’t impact you if you don’t yet have access to FTTP (edge-case conflicts may still occur due to rare quirks of network availability).<\/p>\n

The 18 exchanges announced today – covering 161,000 premises – takes the total number of exchange upgrades that have already been notified as part of the aforementioned process (including trial exchanges), or which are actively under “stop sell<\/em>“, to 846 – covering a total of around 8 million premises. The “stop sell<\/em>” in the Tranche 14 areas will be introduced from 16th August 2024.<\/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) and 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 the changes. Remember, the following list is tentative, so changes and delays will occur (exchanges can are often shifted around into different tranches).<\/p>\n
