The \u00a325m Digital Durham<\/span><\/a> programme in England, which was recently extended (here<\/a>) and now aims to make BT<\/a>’s “fibre broadband<\/em>” (FTTC<\/a>\/P) network available to 98% of local premises by September 2016 (note: 96% will get “superfast<\/em>” speeds of 25Mbps+), has begun the second phase of its roll-out by upgrading the Frosterley telephone exchange.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to note that the project, which includes the areas of Gateshead<\/strong>, Sunderland<\/strong> and Tees Valley<\/strong>, appears to be operating slightly out-of-sync with its indicative roll-out plan. Under the original plan Frosterley<\/strong> (Weardale<\/em>) wasn’t due to be upgraded until Phase 5<\/strong> (April 2015 – June 2015).<\/p>\n

This is actually quite normal because some areas can be moved forward, and others pushed back, as events on the ground change. However the first actual street cabinet upgrades in the Weardale area still won’t be ready to use until early 2015, when 5,000 premises can expect to benefit (i.e. work can start on a telephone exchange long before the cabinets are due to be built).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the first phase of the scheme should have already made the service available to around 9,000 local homes and businesses by June 2014 (here<\/a>), although it’s running ahead of schedule and so the figure could be higher. By\u00a0contrast Phase 2<\/strong> is running\u00a0from July – September 2014 and will add another 12,000+ premises to the total (overall the project should benefit 72,000 additional premises by completion).<\/p>\n

In addition, BT<\/a> anticipates that some ultrafast Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) connectivity will also be deployed in certain areas, although as usual they’re not currently specifying where this will take place. We do wish BT<\/a> and councils would be more transparent about the level of FTTP<\/a> involved, far too many Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> projects still\u00a0overlook this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
