Thank you for
allowing Openreach to give evidence to you on 25th
January. In response to the actions:
A question relating to Fibre-to-the-Premises, what number of
premises connected with FTTP technology under Superfast Cymru are
accessing superfast services from a provider other than BT?
Having reviewed the question, we cannot provide this information
directly as it would be commercially detrimental to our customers
to do so. What we can say however is our FTTP product is regulated
and open to all providers to use. When it becomes available, all
providers are notified at the same time. In other words, there is
no discrimination in how the product is offered. A list of
providers that offer the service are listed here:
https://www.homeandbusiness.openreach.co.uk/fibre-broadband/ultrafast-broadband/ultrafast-fibre-buy-it-now.
What the current take-up of BT’s superfast services via the
Superfast Cymru network is. What is the corresponding figure
in areas where Openreach has deployed superfast broadband on a
commercial basis?
The current aggregate take-up in Superfast Cymru areas is 41%. In
our commercial areas, take-up is broadly in line with
this.
Kind Regards,
Kim Mears
