Trench real UK streets, wire real homes to fibre, and size your network against the 8pm evening peak \u2014 when the whole town logs on at once. Dig up Britain. Sell broadband. Survive the evening peak<\/em>,&#8221; says the official description on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/5171170\/Broadband_Architect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Steam&#8217;s page for Broadband Architect<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The game is the creation of Gloucestershire-based Tom Lee, a solo developer who has spent the past 9 months or so piecing it all together. The game is said to be built on real streets (built from OpenStreetMap data) and is due to enter the early access phase in &#8220;<em>late<\/em>&#8221; <strong>November 2026<\/strong>. The initial demo will focus on Cheltenham, Bishops Cleeve, and the surrounding areas, although the full game will cover the entire UK.<\/p>\n<p>Players will have to trench the streets, argue with landlords to install in blocks of flats (MDU), work out with landowners&#8217; wayleaves and install the infrastructure to cope with demand. The game&#8217;s timeline runs from 2012, with internet demand changing over time and evening and daytime peaks depending on your customer base.<\/p>\n<p>The inspiration for all this came from Tom&#8217;s own experience with having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> deploy to his community: &#8220;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> was installed across my village but not my road. Three years later I was finally offered it, and it then took nine months of back-and-forth between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> and my ISP (who were great) to get it installed. Even now, with fibre on both telegraph poles on my road, some of my neighbours still can&#8217;t order it. In my day job, I&#8217;m Chief Systems Engineer, and we went through something similar when we got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> to one of our production sites,<\/em>&#8221; said Tom to ISPreview.<\/p>\n<p>A demo of the new game is due to be presented at the <strong>Steam Next Fest<\/strong> (19th &#8211; 26th October) event next month. At the time of writing, it&#8217;s not yet clear how much the game will cost to buy, although titles like this are usually very affordable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new single player tycoon management style PC game is set to launch very soon called Broadband Architect, which is a commercial title available via Steam that will allow you to run a small UK alternative broadband network against a satirical incumbent called &#8220;BritTelec&#8220;.
