BT Fibre-Optic Customers To Get ADSL

Posted: 04th May, 2003 By: MarkJ
ADSLGuide reports that BT has issued a further update regarding the problems being experienced by people living in the operators TPON (fibre-optic) network areas and who are thus unable to get broadband ADSL:

BT has altered the planning rules for the PON networks that are in place around the country. Any existing copper pairs that are in place are to be reserved for users requesting an ADSL service, and that when someone orders a PSTN/ISDN/Home Highway service it should be provisioned over the optical network.

In instances where your phone service is already on the optical system, then BT should attempt to migrate you to a copper pair when you order ADSL. One note of caution for people migrating, your phone number may have to change as part of the process.

Normally the number of copper pairs in TPON areas is limited, but BT has identified those TPON areas, that should be in reach of ADSL over standard copper pairs and are working to install new copper capacity. This work means the first few sites should be available from June 2003. In an attempt to clarify what has always being a muddy area, service providers will be provided with a spreadsheet detailing the work in progress, and hopefully then ISPs can give people a timetable for when they might get ADSL.


While it's hoped that the method will cover the majority, sadly this won’t solve the problem for everybody.
