BT’s UK fibre broadband roll-out

No other company in the world is investing as much in fibre without public sector support or a regulatory regime that allows for far greater returns

• £3bn to bring fibre to around two-thirds of UK
• Today, more than 24 million homes and

businesses passed

• Around 8000 engineers working on the “Big

Build”

• A mixture of fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) and fibre

to the premises technology (FTTP)

• Fibre to the remote Node (FTTrN) – successfully

trialled and now being deployed

• FTTP “on demand” now available in some areas
• More than 140 service providers currently trialling
• r selling fibre services using BT’s network
• Extending fibre broadband availability even

further through local community projects ‘ Community Fibre Partnership’

How we do it…

A full assessment

• f the existing

network to provide accurate information for our engineers. Agree and plan when the new equipment will be placed inside the

• exchange. Every

exchange is different. Surveying underground ducts and planning where the new fibre, street cabinets and over ground equipment will go. We are meeting with the Highways and Planning teams. Building the new network from the exchange to the new street cabinets.

Pre-planning Preparing the exchange Planning the network Installation

Contract 1 Update

Over 200 miles of new fibre currently rolled out 71 exchange areas now live 307 fibre cabinets enabled 65,000 additional Leicestershire homes and businesses are now able to connect to fibre broadband 235 towns and villages have gained access to fibre broadband thanks to Superfast Leicestershire. This increases superfast coverage from 81% to 92%, and we remain

• n target to reach 96% by the end
• f 2017
• 2011 Government announce

Leicestershire’s allocation from £530m of national funding

• County Council puts forward and

secures additional funding from EU (ERDF) District, Borough and City Councils

• Following extensive procurement

exercise, contract awarded to BT (August 2013)

• First cabinet went live in July

2014

We bring choice and low prices

• Our open network brings competition, choice & low prices

Contract 2 Plans

• Contract signed March 2015
• Originally County build area only. Now includes a £5m

City area build phase (LLEP and BT funded)

• Now over £33m invested including £4m from LCC and

£8m from government (BDUK)

• Mainly FTTC, but will also involve FFTP in rural areas

were more cost effective than FTTC
