We are due to have a new service available from BT Wholesale with many exchanges enabled now and majority by the end of next year. Fibre to the Cab (FttC) or sometimes Fibre to the Curb is now in general roll out by BT Openreach.
The service offers 40Mb download with options of 2Mb or 10Mb upload, with 15Mb and 20Mb options in the future. The service does not have the traditional contention based capacity management but a guaranteed minimum throughput with the standard being 8Mb and enhanced offering 12Mb.
The service is VDSL based with a VDSL box being supplied and fitted as a part of the installation, this VDSL circuit then connects the premises to the local telephone cab via copper and from the cab to the exchange by fibre. This provides a number of benefits, the first being the distance the signal is carried over copper being as short as possible, the use of VDSL increasing the performance on the circuit and finally an increase in the SLA for fix from the current 5 day or 24 hours to an new enhanced 7 hour fix.
The service is available in many areas and we are actively provisioning services for customers now contact us on 0121 2700370 for more information or email sales@sdvv.co.uk
