Broadband roadmap - Fibre

Graeme Snell

Demand Stimulation Director

BT’s commercial roll out and Government (State Aid) funded fibre broadband rollout

Openreach is delivering fibre to approximately 2/3 rd of the UK as part of its commercial rollout

BT is committed to helping meet the government aspiration of 90% fibre broadband coverage by 2017

• BT’s approach

– Intervention roll out will mirror commercial rollout

- standard products and services

– “Fibre as far as possible”

Funding for the final 1/3 rd is organised and administered by Broadband Development UK (BDUK) on behalf of Department of Culture, Media and Sports

Practically every local authority has applied for BDUK funding

• BTW will be deploying WBC alongside the rollout (with very few exceptions)

– For BTW customers practically zero effort to serve the additional intervention areas

Following open tender, two providers have signed a framework contract with BDUK

7

CP agnostic demand stimulation complements retail marketing and accelerates adoption

BT is offering ‘CP agnostic’ marketing support to local bodies

• Driving market growth and awareness

Helping to position roll out as a regional activity, driven and ‘owned’ by local government

• Funded primarily by LBs, but potentially with BT contribution (at wholesale level, not BT Retail)

Services Include

• Regional campaigns, with a dedicated marketing team in region

• Local authority branded portal with white label content, availability checkers etc.

CRM system and eDM/direct mail services

• Events, workshops

Regionally branded cabs, flyers, vans etc.

8

A white label demand stimulation campaign would seem to increase the rate and level of adoption of fibre broadband – in all markets

Demand stimulation impact in Milton Keynes vs. based case of other comparable exchanges

(M3 exchanges where Virgin presence >80%)

Superfast Cornwall update

• £132m partnership – EU, Cornwall Council & BT - started OCT-2010 – targeting all 250k premises

• Aims: aiming for 80-90% FTTX coverage + strong focus on take-up

• Coverage now: FTTX: 109k premises passed NOW inc. 7.5k FTTP

(Falmouth, Truro, Liskeard, St Austell)

• Take-up: 14,000 live customers through 27 ISPs

• Next phase: 180-200k FTTX premises by APR-13 including 48k premises

FTTP

• Business & strategic growth areas prioritised for FTTP

• New trials & tests being pioneered in Cornwall eg. Fibre on Demand

• Superfast Cornwall keen & resourced to work with ISPs to drive take-up, particularly around FTTP

(opp. Truro station, SEP-12)

• Contact: ranulf.scarbrough@bt.com

BDUK – Get involved now!

• Who in your organisation needs to know about the rollout plans for BDUK areas?

– Suggest Marketing & Sales, Customer Service, Network build teams

• Tell us what type of information you would like us to provide about the plans for exchange enablement in BDUK areas

– E.g. timings, coverage, PR/Marketing activity

• Openreach in conjunction with BT wholesale will then create a communications channel to provide updates on BDUK plans

– Likely to use the existing BT wholesale fibre surgeries (contact lee.martin@bt.com

for details) – our aim is to launch this by the end of the year

– Do you require regular updates at this ISP forum as well?

• Finally, this is not just about a mass market consumer sales opportunity.

– There are likely to be bespoke SME sales engagement opportunities for

CPs in BDUK areas as SME business support / capability training is a key part of the demand stimulation programme in many of the BDUK bids

Head Fibre Broadband

How is Fibre doing?

Nearly 12 million

‘premises’ passed 7 months ahead of schedule with over 850,000 End Users

Approx 31,000 cabinets RFS at 1,210+ exchanges and

1 600+ planned 163 extra newly announced exchanges

FTTC up to 80Mb service available, FTTP in EMD

Services up to 330Mb & trials on fibre on-demand

70 CPs selling the service, over 40 of whom we see as

‘commercially launched’

33% of BTW external SP FTTC lines are 80/20. Availability checker will always show the FASTEST available speed

22% ADSLcustomers in footprint. Average ‘Business’ conversion of 12% of enabled footprint. ‘Best in class’ conversion of 42%

Negligible impact on backhaul costs; the heavy users on Fibre were the heavy users on copper.

Integral part of BTW’s WBC and WBMC portfolio, systems and network

Part of £2.5Bn BT funding to 2/3rds end 2014

MSE: Multi-service Edge

See briefing: BB450-12

Any questions? please contact mse.wbc.wbmc.tech@bt.com

If this affects you we will be contacting you to make sure the impacts and any action required are clear and to answer your concerns

What are BT doing?

• Introducing a new Broadband Remote Access server (BRAS) called Multi-service

Edge (MSE)

Why?

• Growth in bandwidth demand from increased volume and usage requires us to expand the BT Wholesale 21CN Broadband Platform.

When?

• Initial phase has 5 trial sites starting with Bradwell Abbey (off Milton Keynes) then:

119 MSEs by March 2013

416 MSEs by March 2014

Who is affected?

• All CPs who buy WBC and WBMC

So what does it mean for you?

1.

We will notify you of some IP address changes. If you use your own IP addressing as part of WBC Aggregation Point build, there are additional requirements.

2.

Once MSE goes live, as part of the authentication process and within accounting records there will be additional NAS IP addresses in RADIUS IETF Attribute 4.

3.

Implementation of MSEs requires end users to be migrated, with a break in service of between 1 and 30 mins.

Broadband Usage Reports

See briefing: BB425-12

Any questions? please contact Bev Bytheway-Jackson at: bev.bytheway-jackson@bt.com

or 01244 657938

What are BT doing?

• We are enhancing Broadband usage reports to show 21C data as well as the existing 20C data and changing the delivery method to the Data Exchange

Distribution Server (DEDS)

Why?

• Due to customer demand

When?

• During October and November we will deploy the software and hardware needed

• Full launch will follow (date tbc)

Who is affected?

• Any CP that uses Broadband Usage Reports may wish to act

• If you don’t consume Broadband Usage Reports data there is no impact for you

So what does it mean for you?

• If you do consume Broadband Usage Reports then the data will soon be available via DEDs (20C and 21C data) in addition to Concorde Network Health (CNH) which will have 20C data.

Olympics – A success story

London 2012 was the most connected Games ever and BTW own gold medal performance helped

- BTW CPs reach new heights too

• High usage on our broadband network without any issues is testament to the

- planning, investment and interaction with our customers to deliver a great end to end experience.

• Internet traffic reached an all-time high on the broadband network

• Bandwidth demand from some BTW CPs grew by up to 40 per cent in August

– with Rebecca Adlington’s 400 metres swimming event creating the demand peak.

• One node reached over capacity and some orders had to be re-planned

• BW forecast is of paramount importance to plan and size the network

• BW required by date needs to be planned with current T&Cs (5 WD)

• BTW initiated “Network re-use of Hostlink” during the Olympics which helped

2 CPs

• The Network re-use option for Host Links will be used under exceptional circumstances in the future

SFI2: Re-instatement of

Base Module ONLY charging

See briefing:BB448-12

Any questions? please contact Ahmed Mohamed ahmed.mohamed@bt.com

020 7777 6112

What are BT doing?

• Re-introducing the Base Module ONLY charges for SFI2

Why?

• BT have now agreed a strategic fix with their supplier (Openreach) to correct a billing issue, that previously meant that that the SFI2 charge had sometimes been billed when not appropriate and also not billed when it should.

When?

• Full charging for SFI2 Base Only modules will begin from 10 th October 2012.

• The first full SFI2 charges will appear in the November 2012 bill

Who is affected?

• All CPs taking IPStream, Datastream, IPSC, WBC and WBMC

So what does it mean for you?

1.

Increased accuracy in billing for SFI2’s

2.

The current SFI2 waiver process will cease on the 9 th of October.

3.

All Base Module ONLY SFI2’s booked from the 10 th of October will appear on the

November 2012 bill.

B2B Gateway Migration

Impact Statement  We’re migrating to new software (Oracle) and hardware platform

(VDCs based HP Blades) and upgrading certificate security at the same time. This means

CPs will need to point to a new URL in production at a particular point in time. We would like customers to engage with us before the migration on connectivity and functionality testing.

What products are impacted by the change?  All BT Wholesale Broadband (20& 21c) for provision and repair journeys.

Benefits to CP’s 

• High Availability , Improved security through use of 2048 bit encrypted certificates instead of 1024 bit, reduced outage timelines.

What Should You Do?

• Migrate from 1024 to 2048 bit secure certificates.

Perform connectivity test with new onramp environment

• Perform functional test on new onramp environment

Establish connectivity with the new VDC sites.

• Migrate to the new URL/Portal at agreed time slot.

33

B2B Gateway Migration

Will you (the CP) be required to undertake any code development?  based on experience of previous migrations the majority of CPs using standard CoTs packages will not need to make code changes

– to be confirmed through On Ramp testing.

Will this change impact any CP owned screens or interfaces?  Minor – URL and

Certificate Changes as described..

Will 30 or 90 day notifications be issued?

90day notifications before turning off the old URL.

Timescales 

• “On Ramp” is available in Sept 12

• Customer Migration is dependent on individual CP engagement Q3 12/13 to Q2 13/14.

Final withdrawal of existing gateway end 13/14.

34

BBCR (Actuate Upgrade)

Impact Statement  We’re changing from one version of the base software tool to the latest supported version e.g. Actuate v9 to Actuate v11. There will be minor changes to the look and feel of Actuate reports (we think it’s an improvement)

What products are impacted by the change?  BT Wholesale Broadband (20& 21c) –

BBCR Reports.

Benefits to CP’s 

• Improved usability of screens, some small functionality improvements.

What Should You Do?

• Users will be switched over to the new reports in Mid Oct 2012.

Please check your reports and feedback any comments or issues.

35

BBCR (Re-Write Using Oracle Tool-sets)

Impact Statement  We will be re-writing the existing BBCR reports using Oracle software. 90% of the reports impacted are used through XML interface.

What products are impacted by the change?  BT Wholesale Broadband (20& 21c)

BBCR Reports.

Benefits to CP’s 

Cleaner, more modern graphics.

Timescales 

BTW expect to deliver XMLs and one set of reporting in AF/AG timescales (Jan &

March)… Q4 this year

What Should You Do? 

Look out for 90 day notifications associated with XML.

• Schedule XML development resource.

Will 30 or 90 day notifications be issued?

90 day notifications for XML changes … this will be notified in Q3 (Won’t force switch to new XMLs this year – optional in Q4)

36

Eco Broadband Migration

Impact Statement  Our 20c Broadband ordering and fault gateway is reaching the end of its service life. We plan to support the provision and repair interface through our 21c systems (Eco+). This will require a development and migration activity by our customers.

What products are impacted by the change?

IPStream and Datastream.

Benefits to CP’s 

• Continued support for 20c Broadband.

A single interface for 20c and 21c products.

What Should You Do? 

All Broadband customers need to develop their XML interfaces.

• Existing 21c customers – to add in 20c products.

• Existing 20c-only customers – to develop an Eco+ interface.

Train your agents in Eco+ portal.

• Migrate in one of three tranches Jan 13-June 2013.

Will 30 or 90 day notifications be issued?  90 day notifications for XML and monthly engagement meetings are proposed.

Sub Loop Unbundling migrations to BT

Wholesale Broadband

Bev Bytheway-Jackson

Product Manager

Where are we?

A migration path for SLU SMPF to BT Wholesale Broadband products (with MAC) was developed and launched by Openreach in April 2012.

We notified you in July via briefing BB239-12, that we are experiencing systems issues with the SLU MAC where an error code is being returned by our systems preventing the migration order from completing.

This does not affect any other migration journey; only SLU to BT Wholesale Broadband, where there is a change of CP.

You are able to identify where an SLU SMPF installation is present , where we will return the code ‘S’ where SLU SMPF is present.

If you win customers from SLU, you must advise the end user to cease their SLU service first, before submitting a Broadband provide order into us. During this time, you should not advise prospective end users to obtain a MAC from their SLU CP.

We have a solution due to be delivered in January 2013 to resolve the technical problems and we will notify you via the Broadband briefings nearer the time.

Detail

Broadband is not supported on these lines

FTTC will be included in future service packs. The Forum will remain BB focussed so Ethernet will not be covered

Covered in July interim ISP Forum webcall

Yvonne has submitted this for consideration in KBD overhaul – to take place in Q3

Yvonne has submitted this for consideration in KBD overhaul – to take place in Q3

The Wholesale Ethernet product team use the main product event

(the BTW Showcase) to detail their propositions and have regular meetings with their customers, where product issues can be discussed. Service issues are dealt with via the normal service escalation channels. The team are also looking at holding update webcalls aligned with the roadmap releases – to explain what’s new and what’s coming up. It is therefore more appropriate to keep the ISP Forum Broadband focussed.
