AIUI BT were intending to go full fibre until Thatcher kiboshed it.
I believe they had a couple of factories set up in the UK to manufacture the fibre. Once Thatcher killed it, the factories were sold to the Japanese......

In around 84-86 ish, I was working alongside a team doing coax based developments for voice and tv distribution. They were working with BT. The BT fibre work came about after that maybe around 89-91 ish.

You can't determine the typical reliability of FTTC by looking at a single line for a year !


Well i visit this forum and Kitz every day and and i can honestly say i don't remember a thread about FTTC unreliability and if there are one or two i missed it certainly is not something posted regularly.

FTTC is fit for purpose and millions of UK homes are happily using it, to say 'people should be on FTTP' is pushing it not by a little but a lot.


FTTP can be used for 40/10, 80/20, 160/30, 330/50, 500/70, 900/110 I think the choice and price down to customer choice.

You couldn't be more wrong.

I've seen OpenReach RNS (Retro New Sites) work go back to properties from 1986.
Thousands and thousands of properties from the 90's fall under RNS.

Basically anything fully ducted in the last 40 years could qualify for RNS.
