Quote from: Townman Before BT start rolling out such crazy speeds to those who already have more than enough, they need to be addressing the needs of those who get less than 8Mbps and have little prospect of seeing fibre / decent speeds on fibre. If there is money to thrown around, it should be spent on FTTP/H in rural areas.
My thoughts exactly

There is no business case for areas that are economically unviable.

Even if we've thrown our hat into the ring for this, I wouldn't be able to confirm unfortunately.

Something that kept rural in the frame, and kept it there. After all, fast communication needs to be universal and allow technology to grow and spread everywhere.

The problem is how to measure viability
I know of several areas that
1. BT found uneconomic in the commercial FTTC rollout stage
2. the local council also found uneconomic with a public subsidy so did not cover in the BDUK roll out either.
....yet Gigaclear found by actually asking the inhabitants that they were indeed commercially viable and they now have a far better full FTTP solution from them than BT were errr.. not offering. It's even more bizarre when you consider that Gigaclear needed to build a whole new network from scratch while BT could have at least used their existing ducting where they existed...had BT actually been remotely bovvvered - which obviously they are not.
Ironically some residents even consider now that BT/BDUK have done them a favour by not including them in the half-way house of FTTC as this gave the opportunity for a superior FTTP solution for all to be provided.
Interestingly Gigaclear seem to be winning some BDUK SEP phase two contracts so it looks like some councils have had enough of BT as well as the odd omitted village targeted by Gigalcear.

It seems like people just want faster broadband so long as someone else is going to pay for it! How about building enough new houses out in the rural wherever until it becomes more economically viable?
I thought Gigaclear require a decent proportion of the inhabitants to actually agree to take their service before rolling it out to a village.

In effect they require the area to be commercially viable!
The very thing BT and BDUK decided was not the case in my examples above.
However now Gigaclear seem to have changed/expanded their strategy to bidding for stage two BDUK SEP funds and have been winning contracts.

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/7017-gigaclear-wins-contract-to-deliver-ultrafast-to-4-500-premis...
So I presume in those areas covered by such a contract the residents will simply get the facility provided and will have had to make no prior commitment.
