Naked FTTC / VDSL Only

Hello All.

As I no longer use my landline phone, I begun searching for whether it is possible to order an FTTC connection without the need to order a voice service, or use the copper pair from the PCP to the exchange.  There are a couple of articles from 2015 mentioning Openreach are trialling it , and Sky were interested. But no further developments.

Did this development ever come to fruition? Would naked FTTC not even have the potential to decrease interference on the line and hence increase speeds?

I'm not aware that is has. The FTTC/VDSL2 (ITU-T G.993.2) service that A&A provide is currently the "closest" to that concept.

SOGEA is still under trial - https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2018/05/openreach-extend-sogea-standalone-fttc-broadband-product-trial.html

I cannot see it making any difference to speeds..

licquorice:
Was the double negative intentional there or did you intend to say that wouldn't make any difference to speed?

mentaltom:
I think I was about 16 hours too hasty, as this has also just been published today:

It makes sense , I am not sure why this wasn’t implemented many a year ago.
