British Telecom and resellers:

• Openreach, the Access Network delivery arm of BT Group conducted successful trials of VDSL using FTTC technology in the Muswell Hill area of North London. Following this trial national rollout commenced under the banner of NGA (Next Generation Access) starting with selected exchange areas around the UK. The product initially offered downstream bit rates of up to 40 Mbit/s and upstream of up to 10 Mbit/s dependent on the distance between the new DSLAM street-cabinet and the end user's premises, and by late 2012, this had increased to downstream bit rates of up to nearly 80 Mbit/s and upstream of up to 20 Mbit/s.^[32] Alongside this Openreach are conducting additional trials into the deployment of FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) which although more expensive & complex to implement can provide downstream rates of up to 110 Mbit/s and is thought to be more future proofed than FTTC. Original projections indicated that FTTC was significantly cheaper to implement than FTTP, however current thinking is that the cost difference between the two technologies may be smaller than at first envisaged.
