BTs TPON Areas & Broadband ADSL

Posted: 20th Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
Chances are that most of you have never heard of 'Telecommunications Over Passive Optical Networks' (TPON).

Until now BT has been unable to cover such areas with ADSL services; however ADSLGuide reports that BTWholesale is finally investigating a solution:

BT is assessing which TPON areas have customers within the theoretical range for DSL, and whether it is economic to make use of a limited amount of existing copper that is in-situ or possibly lay enough copper cabling to satisfy Broadband demand in the TPON areas.

This is the first sign of an end to the wait for those people stuck on fibre optics but currently with no chance of Broadband via BT.


We're sure there's an irony in there somewhere; using copper wires to complement a fibre optic network. Don't expect more on this until late 2003.
