That's not several hundred though is it.

Neither is it 100 SHEs like the press release says so I would trust witchunt rather than a inaccurate press release from Openreach.

Good for you. I'll go with widely reported the figures from the company itself rather than a guy on the internet.

The inaccurate numbers from the press release are clear for everyone to see, basic maths from first year junior school. The press release clearly wasn't checked by a qualified engineer or they would have spotted the clear schoolboy mistake. If you have trust in something that doesn't add up then good for you.

more than likely guessing based on the number he's come across and extrapolating that across the country.

No, but thanks anyway

I think the problem is that openreach/BT often refer to wider areas as locations. For example , this was evident during the recent better workplace program where many more buildings were/are being vacated than the number of locations accounted for.
So that 100 locations will account for many more individual SHE's.
Hope that helps everyone

The photograph at https://telecoms.com/523016/openreach-shaves-10m-off... actually shows someone holding an EV Vehicle plug for single or three-phase charging, rather than something to do with a 'subtended headend' !!!

Cheers!

Haha. That's called a "Type 2" connector.

It's the now standard connector used to connect EVs (both here, across Europe and also Australia/NZ) to an AC power source. Or more correctly called EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) rather than "chargers".

These plug connectors can handle both single and polyphase AC supply to the vehicle, depending on the EVSE and the vehicle.

Perhaps editorial was getting confused with the story around BT doing a pilot study to potentially convert their (to be) FTTC disused street cabs to EVSE charge points.
