Some new-builds don't even get FTTP. One development near me that has just been completed has FTTC purely because there is an existing PCP and fibre cabinet just outside its entrance.

Probably because the developer didn't meet the minimum threshold for 'free' FTTP, which I think is 30 plots. Otherwise it would be sheer madness for the developer to request copper instead of fibre considering both cost the same to the developer as long as the minimum plot requirements are met.

The term "New build" is starting to become a way to describe a style of building new estates that most people recognise as being profit optimised

Thanks for that reply, I have to be honest and say I had never thought of it that way but it does make sense now.

67Mbps average, based on 80/20 is currently the highest profile we currently offer, but we are just in the final technical/commercial stages of deploying higher options, which will be deployed during Q4.

Upgrades from lower profiles will be possible at that time if required.

Do you have plans to offer the new 550/75 & 1000/115 tiers once Openreach start selling them?

Yes, we have them both listed together as a dedicated rollout project in our internal plans, separate to the 160 and 330 tiers which will arrive first, but certainly within scope for commercial consideration during 2020 to extend our ultrafast line of products.

Cheers, will keep an eye on your website for the new services
