At times, it is difficult to comprehend why telcos and incumbents do what they do, say what they say. So....here's a coupla questions.............
This blog post can be read at 5tth.blogspot.com
1. BT plan to upgrade "up to 80% of their copper network to deliver connections of up to 20Mbps by the end of the year?"
Our question to BT: how many up to's can you get in one sentence? What do these "up tos" mean, after Ofcom has told telcos to stop using the term? What precisely are you trying to achieve? Both separately and together, with your Up Tos? For consumers? For your network? For Ofcom's plans and regulations? IN REALITY?
2. When you announce FTTC connectivity to market towns, are you planning to connect 100% of cabinets in those areas, wherever existing infrastructure lies? Are up to 100% FTTC areas 100% connected, and to what? How do you define when an area is "FTTP connected?" Do you think you can make it up by connecting one house from one cab = FTTP from that street cabinet?

Dear somerset, almost the only place copper is useful is being leaky in subways, metros n underground tunnels That any use?
CS - you do agree that the UK is covered by fibre don't you and the reasons networks keep going has nothing to do with fibre specifically?
@Cybersavvy
I disagree. Today we also found an old (unused) multi-pair copper cable useful as a push-rod through a six foot long pipe deep underground whilst installing a fibre connection to a nuclear bunker (now used as a data backup facility!). :-)
Perhaps an idea for your next book - "1001 things to do with an old BT copper cable"!!
"up to" remains an ASA requirement at the time of writing, doesn't it ?
OFCOM may have opined to the CAP/BCAP consultation but I don't believe they have (or could ?) issued a direction forbidding its use. Corrections with references welcome :-)
As any fule kno, cabinets are individually assessed and only the economic ones get FTTC.
I'm sure CS knows the answer but is just trying to stir.
When we will get a scheme proposed that will install FTTP in a built up area?
