Good job I don't get my source of information from ISPr

EEs relationship is direct with Openreach for these products (where as their sub 1Gbps are via BTW for the most part). EE have a mixed solution in place (and why they can't offer some of their solutions to all customers). BTWs own links into Openreach are already running quite tight in some areas. C...

I agree with the sentiments already expressed, I'm on the enthusiast/engineer side of the market and I'm multi-gig ready at home. I'd be extremely interested in upgrading to the fastest available service at the earliest opportunity, as I suspect a number of customers would be. :-) It might be worth...

I'm guessing this is still down the the mercy of BT Wholesale not offering the package from Openreach considering Aquiss has now launched 1.2Gb & 2.5Gb on CityFibre Our route to market for Openreach products is via BT Wholesale (like most ISPs) who at present are the ones holding up things. The...

Hi Taras, Lead times depend on the state of the current present build. In summary, they are as follows: New Installs (1 Stage - simple installs) 14-16 working days New Installs (2 Stage - complex builds) 14 to 60 working days Port Restarts: 2 working days Migrations: 10 working days The only real wa...

Most providers take via a wholesale channel handover (BT Wholesale etc), as I stated earlier, so I suspect it will be in Q3/Q4 before they start arriving within the retail space. Other key points are, customers own hardwa...

The key bit is Openreach

So I mentioned earlier in the thread, it's now going to depend on the wholesale access, such as BT Wholesale, to when and if they launch these products. BT Wholesale is Openreach's customer, rather than ISPs, in most cases.

In areas that are Nokia based builds, we are indeed seeing an increased deployment of Nokia ONTs that are 2.5Gbps variants. An increase in Adtrans areas is also taking place and we have seen a couple of 2.5Gbps Adtrans ONTs being dropped there too, but less common. Areas that are ECI (generally Sout...

At present its just an Openreach trial product, so it will depend if BT Wholesale (who we and most providers use) then take them forward on to the wholesale market, for retail release. Whilst BT Wholesale don't always completely mirror every Openreach product available, I would be surprised if they ...
