So far, the only ISP to launch a consumer package based off the new tiers has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>), which in October 2023 launched their 1.6Gbps (average advertised speed) service for \u00a369.99 inc. VAT per month (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/10\/ee-becomes-bts-main-uk-broadband-brand-launch-1-6gb-fttp.html\">here<\/a>). But other internet providers have opted to wait until after the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s pilot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The operator\u2019s \u00a315bn full fibre network currently covers over 13 million premises and aims to reach 25m by December 2026 (80%+ of the UK), before potentially rising up to 30m by 2030.<\/div>\n<p>The fastest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> download tier available to consumers on their network today is currently 1Gbps (115Mbps upload for homes and 220Mbps for business lines). The challenge here is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> currently uses a <strong>Gigabit Passive Optical Network<\/strong> (GPON), which places limitations on how fast they can go before capacity becomes an issue.<\/p>\n<p>GPON supports a capacity on each trunk line of up to 2.5Gbps downstream and 1.24Gbps upstream, which needs to be shared between several premises. This makes what they\u2019re trying to do a bit harder, especially given their strong take-up (currently c.34%).<\/p>\n<p>Openreach will eventually need to push toward faster speeds via 10Gbps capable <strong>XGS-PON<\/strong> based products (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/12\/adtran-hints-at-openreachs-uk-plan-for-10gbps-broadband.html\">here<\/a>), but for the time being they&#8217;re focused upon squeezing as much out of GPON as they can get to help stay competitive with rivals (that&#8217;s how we end up with odd speeds like 1.2 and 1.8Gbps).<\/p>\n<p>The 1.2Gbps tier is arguably more about enabling ISPs to advertise a true &#8220;<em>average<\/em>&#8221; gigabit speed of &#8220;<em>1000Mbps+<\/em>&#8221; (median as measured at peak time), which is as opposed to the c.900Mbps that most ISPs promote today on the 1Gbps tier. Meanwhile, the new 1.8Gbps option gives them something to offer users looking for a more premium tier, which narrows the gap to those offers plans like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>&#8217;s new 2Gbps package (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/02\/virgin-media-uk-launch-2gbps-broadband-and-optional-symmetric-speeds.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Openreach Product Manager, Matthew Sledge, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemand for high-definition streaming, online gaming, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive applications has spurred a huge increase in how much broadband data we all use \u2013 and consumption is rising every single year.<\/p>\n<p>Our new turbo-charged speed tiers demonstrate how our Full Fibre network is future proofed to meet these ever growing demands. And with the largest Full Fibre footprint in the UK \u2013 we\u2019ve made sure these new speeds can provide the biggest benefit and are available to all 13 million homes and businesses that can access our Full Fibre network \u2013 whether people are living in a city, town or small remote village.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new service is also accompanied by two new optical modems (ONT \/ ONU) \u2013 the <strong>Nokia G-010G-T<\/strong> and <strong>ADTRAN SDX 611Q<\/strong> (pictured), both with 2.5Gbps LAN \/ Ethernet ports. In other words, anybody who orders this service, even if they already have an older ONT from Openreach (these only have 1Gbps ports), will require a brief engineer visit to replace the modem. Supporting ISPs will also need to supply similarly capable routers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Premises covered by Openreach\u2019s now somewhat ancient ECI kit (mostly a few tens of thousands of properties in places like Cornwall) are not yet able to access the new tiers and can often only take sub-gigabit tiers.<\/div>\n<p>As above, the new tiers will officially become available (outside of pilot) from <strong>1st April 2024<\/strong> and the standard wholesale prices for this are as follows. Please remember that this does not reflect the price that you pay as consumers (retail), since ISPs have to add all sorts of extra costs on top (e.g. 20% VAT, profit margins, network services \/ features \/ capacity etc.). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>&#8217;s pricing above is probably a reasonable guide for retail.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Standard Retail Prices (exc.
