Black Sheep:
One of the most ambitious housing developments in the UK and we’re making it Ultrafast

We’ve secured an amazing opportunity as part of our commitment to deliver Ultrafast speeds to 12 million premises by 2020.
Barking Riverside, on the northern banks of the Thames, is a new development and is the biggest contract Openreach has secured since launching our commitment to deliver Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology to 99% of New Sites (with 30+ premises).

Working in partnership with the Home Builders Federation and government, Openreach will provide Ultrafast broadband to 10,500 new properties, which includes a mix of family housing, apartments, schools, retail, community and leisure facilities. This site is the largest of 9,877 new housing developments totalling more than 240,000 new premises across the UK which benefit from FTTP.

Infrastructure Delivery MD, Kim Mears said: 'We’re really pleased to be involved in what is one of the most ambitious and important developments in the UK. This major investment in Ultrafast broadband reflects our commitment to ensuring the UK has a first class network.'
 

Ronski:
Thats good news,  hopefully more builders will get their act  together and get Openreach on board early enough so fttp can be rolled out to new build estates.

Oh please. It's new build and FTTP is cost-neutral or even cheaper than copper.

Bowdon:
It is good news that FTTP is being put in to more new build properites.

I wonder what is the evidence that fttp in new build properties encourage a higher uptake of FTTP services. I'm assuming that the people in the new builds will still have to order broadband like everyone else.

I'm just trying to figure out how OR (or any other company pushing FTTP) come to conclusions about demand when it comes to broadband services.

When OR pick the areas to deploy pilot schemes how do they access that one area is a better potential uptake than another? Is Demand a factor, if so, how is it measured?

These questions arent only aimed at OR. They are aimed at any company deploying FTTP services. How are they accessing that new build demand is higher? Is there any evidence we can see?
