Why would they install more Aggregation Nodes though?
You want them to pay to install Agg Nodes that serve no homes, so FTTPod is cheaper, to speed up the FTTP rollout.
Wouldn't it just be cheaper and better value for money for OpenReach to use existing Agg Nodes and roll out FTTP to the 1400 homes they can already serve.
Surely that's better value than installing an unnecessary Agg Node where it isn't needed, to sit idle, to make a product they don't want to sell even cheaper.
When they install them for FTTC they do so with future FTTP in mind. Agg Nodes that currently serve FTTC are good for 1400 homes for FTTP.
Some heavily populated areas may need additional Agg Nodes to eventually serve everyone with FTTP.
However they can't just come along and drop an Agg Node closer to homes to just sit idle where there isn't even fibre yet.
FTTPod will play very very very little part in helping expand FTTP and I don't quite understand the obsession with it for those who have no intention of ordering it.
