In this day and age you would surely expect developers to be mindful of the need for modern broadband connectivity, which is a lot cheaper to deploy during a build than after it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A Spokesperson for Openreach said (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kirkintilloch-herald.co.uk\/news\/local-headlines\/residents-left-in-lurch-in-broadband-debacle-1-3668373\" target=\"_blank\">Kirkintilloch Herald<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Although around 10,500 premises in the Kirkintilloch area can now access fibre broadband, the cabinet serving the new premises was not included in <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-145\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"BT\">BT<\/a>\u2019s commercial fibre deployment programme as it did not meet our commercial investment criteria<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile the developers, following complaints from residents, say they did look into the local ducting some nine months ago and said their engineers &#8220;<em>confirmed there was more than adequate ducting to facilitate <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-145\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"BT\">BT<\/a>\u2019s cabling but the cabling installed by BT could not support fibre optic broadband<\/em>.&#8221; The developers added, &#8220;<em>Funding and installation of the ducting is the responsibility of the consortium, but the responsibility for cabling and accessibility lies solely with BT<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Government has said on many occasions that it expects home builders to develop good broadband connectivity as part of any new builds, although there&#8217;s no legislation for this. However new rules from the EU are on the way, but they won&#8217;t arrive soon enough to help.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed the above story follows only a few short weeks after the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hbf.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Home Builders Federation<\/a> (HBF), whose members in England and Wales deliver around 80% of the new homes built each year, warned that a future requirement for all new buildings to be \u201c<em>high-speed broadband ready<\/em>\u201d from <strong>2017 onwards<\/strong> could \u201c<em>seriously damage<\/em>\u201d future construction (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/12\/home-builders-worried-high-speed-ready-broadband-requirement.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #227ab4;\">here<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Mind you it should be said that some blame for the situation might also rest with the home buyers for failing to establish what kind of broadband connectivity would be available to them prior to purchase. Had the developers miss-sold this side of things then that would be another matter. On the other hand it&#8217;s not always easy to get an answer to this question, especially for new builds which won&#8217;t yet have been added to any ISP checker databases.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly we&#8217;ve seen quite a few stories like this over the past few months (examples <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/01\/kingsmere-residents-put-posters-warn-slow-broadband-speeds.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/05\/hundreds-new-windsor-park-homes-left-wait-months-broadband.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) and no doubt there will be plenty more to come. The lesson is, never assume you\u2019ll get a good connection just because it\u2019s a new build.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residents of the new Woodilee Village estate between Lenzie and Kirkintilloch in Scotland, which includes 900 contemporary homes built by CALA, Charles Church, Miller Homes and Springfield, are campaigning for better broadband connectivity after they were left with \u201cup to\u201d 2Mbps download speeds (plus uploads of 300-400Kbps) and told that they&#8217;d have to fork out [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,471,69,89],"class_list":["post-8524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-bduk","tag-bt-openreach","tag-scotland"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
