Openreach nudges another 112 exchange areas toward full fiber
Stop Sell is triggered once 75 percent of the premises connected to an exchange can access "full-fiber" broadband, otherwise known as fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP). REG AD googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('labrador/thereg/article/desktop/b'); }); That doesn't mean 75 percent of the premises connected to a particular exchange are actually using FTTP, however, just that it is "available" for them. At addresses where FTTP is available, providers will no longer be able to sell legacy copper products.
