FTTP is already available in lots of places. I have a choice of two providers right now neither of which is Virgin or BT.
So to say that FTTP is not going to be rolled out until 2030 doesn’t make sense unless you are talking about by a specific provider in a specific place.
- tentacleuno 3y agoI'm referring to Openreach, which, according to their own statistics[0], cover 28.6m houses in the UK. I'm unsure if you're being pedantic, as both the roll-out and Openreach are fairly well known here :) [0]: https://www.openreach.com/about https://www.openreach.com/about
- Lio 3y agoNo, I'm not being pedantic. If you mean just Openreach, just say Openreach, I did ask. You're talking as if BT was still some wing of the government and the only ones allowed invest in UK network infrastructure. This isn't 1995, they might be the biggest but they're not the only player. As mentioned, City Fibre[1] and Trooli[2] have their own networks and there are others. FTTP has already been rolled out in many parts of the UK, so saying "UK FTTP roll out has been delayed until 2030" is just not true. I'm in the UK and using FTTP right now. - 1. https://cityfibre.com/ https://cityfibre.com/ 2. https://www.trooli.com/ https://www.trooli.com/
