17/03/2023    For Information

This briefing is for all Communications Providers (CPs) who consume FTTP. 

This briefing is to inform CPs that the launch of the Equinox 2 offer, notified on 14 December 2022, is postponed pending final approval by Ofcom.

Further to our notification on 14 December 2022 of the GEA-FTTP Equinox 2 offer (briefing NGA2018/22), Ofcom has indicated that it anticipates a two-month delay in the 90-day review process, as they consider all responses to their consultation that closed on 4 March 2023.

As a result, our discounted Full Fibre prices will not come into effect on 1 April 2023 as had previously been proposed.

If Ofcom’s provisional conclusions are confirmed in May, we will however look to ensure that Communications Providers signed up to Equinox 2 during the contract quarter ending June 2023 will benefit from Equinox 2 pricing for that contract quarter.

Communications Providers will be kept informed of the process, and when contracts will be available to sign.
