Network access provider Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has revealed to ISPreview that they’re starting a new early-stage Proof of Concept (PoC), which could see engineers who may be visiting homes to repair a copper line service (FTTC<\/a> \/ SOGEA etc.) also conduct additional work to help make the property ready for full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband in the future.<\/p>\n

At present engineers who are called out to fix a problem with somebody’s copper-line based phone or broadband service typically only focus on that task and nothing else. But Openreach<\/a> recently began informing broadband ISPs about a new Proof of Concept<\/strong> (PoC) test called Prep for Provision<\/strong><\/a> and we’ve now got some solid details on what this will actually aim to deliver.<\/p>\n

In selected trial areas, where FTTP<\/a> lines are already available, the engineer may discuss FTTP<\/a> with the retail provider’s customer while visiting the property for an unrelated reason (e.g. while conducting repairs on an older copper line, where the customer hasn’t yet taken FTTP). If the customer is happy to proceed, the engineer would then go ahead and do the internal engineering work inside the home to make it ready for FTTP.<\/p>\n

Just to be completely clear. This does not mean the customer is then being forced to take FTTP where it’s available, it just means that if they did order the service in the future then their house would already be prepared – simplifying the final drop installation phase and making the wider roll-out more efficient \/ faster.<\/p>\n

At this stage, the PoC trial is simply testing whether customers are willing to have some of the necessary equipment installed during an existing visit and nothing further. But if the results are positive then we could see this progress toward practical delivery. This sounds like a good idea, although it’s worth considering that it could make it harder to manage engineering resources for other jobs, as there may be uncertainty over whether or not the end-user would agree (i.e. it might be better to ask them the question in advance of arrival).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
