Title: TalkTalk deal with Cityfibre
Post by: Chrysalis on February 02, 2020, 10:22:50 PM
Does this mean there is a chance vodafone will no longer be exclusive reseller of cityfibre consumer based products?

The deal as I understand it has involved cityfibre buying their trial FTTP network, and in return talktalk will also sell products on the cityfibre network.

CityFibre have been trying to change the Vodafone exclusive deal for a while now.

If TTB gets on this network this will be brilliant news for me, assuming TTB resellers are prepared to sell 900/900 services.

The exclusivity period has changed from a year from completion of the entire build within a city to a year after an individual property goes live.

that sounds worse :( as it ensures the first signup at a property is vodafone even if over a year after build is done

No. Going live means enabled for service, not having taken the service. A street has gone live once the residents may order.
