You would think so. I imagine they can do some calculations, but it's not the kind of number there seem to have written down.

I should also mention that the three I tried were unable to provide any residential service.

The site isn't for residential. It's for SMEs, as I pointed out earlier .

Just realised that I am in Band A so the distance charge is only £200!

So it is only £200 installation, £500 connection (ouch), £465 rental plus ISP margin.

A bargain (!). However, to put it into context, how much did people pay per month in the early days of ADSL? This equates to around £750 to install, £60 / month rental. Some people can afford it.

The 2005 prices are a bit steep (!) connection up to £750 and rental up to £1,188.

Will it be rolled out nationwide before the price increase in 2015?

Afraid price goes up as of 01/05/2014.

Doh!

I had thought all the pricing was 2014 to 2015 and then 2015 - 2016 like the road digging price.

I makes the price more like I had expected following the price increase!

Might be an offer on a cashback site

I wouldn't be surprise if all isp's finally put FTTPoD on the packages for residential after 01/05/2014 and not before that.

They have to solve the 36 month contract issue, which Ofcom limit consumers to 24 months.
Openreach solution is you roll 36 x cost into a 24 month period.

Fibre on Demand is not the only option for city voucher scheme, so far people seem to assume it is the only option.

I'm in Band E (probably) so it would cost £2160 to install plus over £1500 per year for ongoing costs.

At present the FTTC sync is 34Mb so if I were to add four extra phone lines, each with FTTC it'd cost about £900 for four installs plus about £175 per month for the five line rentals and FTTC charges.

Assuming I can find a load balancing router that will cope with that, it would make more sense than FTTPoD at these sorts of prices.

Clearly BT has priced FTTPoD to not sell. I wonder what their hidden agenda is?

I think BT put up price because it make them easy to cut workload. If BT offer FTTPoD for around £49 inc vat and install charge of only £199 inc vat for up to 200m away then thousand of customers will rushing in to order it and BT will facing heavy workload.

In this way, I think it was behind this reason of putting up price to stop residential customers to afford it or not.
