A new BBC News<\/a> report states that BT<\/a> UK quoted one homeowner in the tiny Lincolnshire community of Wingland a hefty \u00a3101,874.60 to run a new Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network to his property, which formed part of an offer under the 10Mbps Universal Service Obligation (USO). But this shouldn’t come as a surprise.<\/p>\n

The USO, in case anybody has forgotten, is a legally binding and industry-funded obligation that falls on BT<\/a> across the UK and KCOM<\/a> in Hull. In short, people living in areas where they can’t yet receive a 10Mbps<\/strong> or faster download speed, and aren\u2019t expected to be covered by such a network in the next 12-months, can request a service capable of 10Mbps+ downloads (1Mbps upload) from the aforementioned providers.<\/p>\n

Most of those that apply for the USO may find out that they can alternatively take a 4G<\/a> or 5G<\/a> based mobile broadband connection from EE<\/a>. But failing that, the suppliers will commit to contributing up to \u00a33,400 +vat per premises to help get a faster fixed line connection via FTTP<\/a> installed.<\/p>\n

Take note that a cost sharing model also applies here, which means BT<\/a> will “calculate the total excess cost of the build and divide that between the eligible premises. If that amount is below \u00a35,000 per premises (on top of the \u00a33,400), we\u2019ll automatically split the costs<\/em>“. But any costs above this level would need to be optionally covered by the community (optional is the choice between either accepting the quote or not building anything).<\/p>\n

However, much as we’ve covered many times before (example<\/a>), deploying new full fibre infrastructure into harder to reach locations (often rural) is an inherently slow and extremely expensive process. Sadly, some locations can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, very rarely even up to \u00a31-2m, and the unavoidable reality is that the USO simply can’t cover those areas as it makes no reasonable economic sense.<\/p>\n

In these cases, the result is that BT ends up putting out a quote to cover the excess costs involved, which often comes as a shock to those who aren’t aware of how costly new infrastructure builds can really be. In short, this seems to be precisely what has happened in the community of Wingland, near Sutton Bridge.<\/p>\n

Taking a closer look at Wingland<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

On the surface it might seem like an easy job, particularly since Openreach<\/a>, Upp (nexfibre<\/a>) and LightSpeed Broadband<\/a> have already managed to bring some FTTP<\/a> into the much larger, directly neighbouring, Sutton Bridge community (LightSpeed has the biggest network – covering most of the area).<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Openreach<\/a> has yet build all that much FTTP in Sutton Bridge, so they’d want to do that first before even considering such an expansion. Meanwhile, Upp’s network is currently stalled and in the process of being integrated into nexfibre<\/a> (Virgin Media<\/a>), while LightSpeed Broadband<\/a> seem unlikely to be taking much of an interest while struggling with their own issues (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, a big part of the problem may be that there’s a rather large river (nene) running right through the middle of all this, with a sizeable bridge crossing. Gaining access to run new fibre over bridges can be.. tricky, even at the best of times, as well as expensive. But in this case, it may also be impossible, since it’s a swing bridge for a lot of commercial maritime traffic. Suffice to say, running fibre from the Sutton Bridge side looks unviable (even a Microwave solution would be pricey, but none of the named operators use those to feed localised FTTP builds).<\/p>\n

The most viable solution would thus be for Openreach<\/a>, which has a bit of FTTP about 2-3 miles down the road in the opposite direction (on the Wingland size of the bridge), to run new fibre up alongside the A17 road. But 2-3 miles of fibre isn’t cheap (it’s also unlikely to go as the crow flies, so keep that in mind) and hence it’s easy to see how BT ended up giving a local homeowner, Mr Mortimer (62), that \u00a3100k quote.<\/p>\n

A BT spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Although the USO has helped improve connectivity for around 8,000 properties to date, quotes reflect the cost and complexity of building in rural areas and can be high. We have reviewed the quote given to Mr Mortimer and unfortunately it is an accurate reflection of the costs of delivering a fibre connection to a small cluster of properties in the area.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Mr Mortimer (62), the local broadband speeds are slow and “in a big city, you would get this [fttp service] for free, and it’s wrong<\/em>.” But in fairness, he’s not living in a big city and the local area is complex, which makes any solution via FTTP inherently quite expensive (side-note: even some patches of big cities haven’t got FTTP yet).<\/p>\n

The big industrial site over the road, which includes a power station, probably won’t be of much help either since they’ll most likely be using expensive leased lines to solve the issue. Similarly, the 4G<\/a> mobile coverage in the area appears to be quite variable (most operators say they can do 4G<\/a>, but it’s often only labelled as “good<\/em>” for outdoor use and is of patchy quality).<\/p>\n

On the other hand, data from Thinkbroadband<\/a> appears to show that the community in question should already be largely covered by “superfast<\/em>” (24-30Mbps+) capable broadband speeds via FTTC<\/a> (VDSL2<\/a>) technology, which makes us wonder whether the individual concerned is on such a line or even suffering from an issue with poor home wiring.<\/p>\n

However, the fact that he got a quote under the USO would tend to suggest that he must be living even further outside the core Wingland area, which would add to the cost of any local build. But without knowing the exact property, it’s difficult to propose an alternative. Starlink<\/a> may thus be the best bet for now, if he can afford it.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 29th Feb 2024 @ 4:16pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

The government has corrected the BBC<\/a> and informed ISPreview that Wingland is in fact part of the Lincolnshire and East Riding contract currently out for procurement, and therefore is in scope under Project Gigabit.<\/p>\n

A DSIT spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan for better broadband is delivering for Lincolnshire, with 62% of homes and businesses in the area now able to access lightning-fast gigabit broadband – up from 2% five years ago.<\/p>\n

We are stepping in to accelerate rollout in rural Lincolnshire, with our investment already delivering faster broadband to more than 146,000 premises. This month we signed a \u00a358 million contract to bring gigabit broadband to thousands of hard-to-reach premises in Lincolnshire, and around 48,000 more will benefit from another \u00a3118 million contract in Lincolnshire and East Riding to be signed later this year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
