In reply to a post by Ignitionnet:
At least that's what the price lists say - surely if all tiers were available they'd have to be on the FTTPoD price list, yes?


I think it means that the FoD product, even with heavy installation costs, still requires the mighty monthly prices to be justifiable (worth bothering to sell at all, that is).

That mighty monthly commitment comes from the biggest package possible, with a 36 month commitment.

Essentially that tells us that they couldn't justify selling it with either a 220 package or a 24 month commitment.

I'm not surprised. "FTTP is too costly" is a thing we hear from a lot of countries, and stories of 7 hour, 2 day, multiple engineer installs fits. The change in strategy fits too.

It means that copper is here for another decade, and at that time we'll start this conversation again with FTTdp and G.fast, instead of FTTC VDSL2 and vectoring.

To take another viewpoint B4rn is costing out at 1000 per home even with all the volunteer work involved
