For information
This briefing is for all Communications Providers (CPs).
This briefing is to inform Communication Providers of the pricing that will apply for Dark Fibre Access Product Variants, following their launch on 17/08/2021.
On 18 March 2021, Ofcom published its Final Statement for the Wholesale Fixed Telecom Market Review (WFTMR), which sets out regulation applicable to Dark Fibre pricing for the next five years.
Dark Fibre Access (DFA) variants will launch on 17 August 2021 as part of the new Dark Fibre (DF) product (separate briefing to follow), and we are notifying our launch pricing.
As part of the notification, we are renaming the following prices to ensure consistency across product documentation:
Old Text |
New Text |
Existing Connection and Rental pricing that referenced ‘DFX’ |
Will now be expanded to ‘Dark Fibre X’ |
‘Exchange Patch Panel’ |
‘Network Terminating Equipment – Exchange’ |
‘Shift - Internal. Internal Shift of a DFX end within the existing building.’ |
‘Shift - Internal. Internal Shift of a DF end within the existing building.’ |
There is no change to the product specification or pricing as a result of this name change.
