Re: Self install FTTC coming to Zen?


[re: Chrysalis] [link to this post]
 
A lot of people I believe have misinterpreted that Ofcom communication.

It was about removing the 12 month minimum contract that people suffer after a migration, rather than a 12 month term from the initial installation.

In reply to a post by AndyPandy:
Is that likely to change with self install though? As there's no engineer visit, so less money to recoup.


The money they need to recoup is on at a minimum:
The green cab
The DSLAM installed in the green cab
The fibre to connect up the green cab
The kit in the exchange the fibre connects back to
The engineering for all of this to be put in

This is not cheap. The engineer visit is a minute part of it which the ISP already pays or passes down to the customer.

Yes you told me before, but still no signs of it appearing is there?

I am guessing someone is appealing it so its been delayed.

there seems to be assumptions (false in my view) that anyone ordering fiber is going to cancel in under 12 months unless they forced to stay via high min term.

Yes we would see lots more movement between retail isp's (if they reduced their contracts also) but I expect most would stay on fttc.
