What is SoGEA BT
SoGEA stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access. Up until now, to deliver broadband to a home or office, you needed to have a traditional phone line installed and then ADSL Broadband or Fibre Broadband provided on top of it.
What is the structure of BT
Under the new structure, BT will have six lines of business: Consumer; EE; Business and Public Sector; Global services; Wholesale and Ventures; and Openreach.
Through its Consumer division, BT will continue to serve 10 million households in the U.K. with broadband, telephony, TV and mobile services.
What does FTTP on demand mean

FTTX refers to all types of fiber infrastructure including fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP), fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC), and fiber-to-the-node (FTTN).
FTTH stands for fiber-to-the-home and is synonymous with FTTP (fiber-to-the-premises).
Why did Openreach split from BT
The legal separation of BT and Openreach was designed to address industry concerns that BT, as a provider of broadband services and owner of the UK’s largest broadband network, had the ability, incentive and propensity to favour itself when making investment and planning decisions, to the detriment of other network
What does WBC FTTP mean
If ‘WBC FTTP’ is stated under ‘Featured Products’, this means that your property has been upgraded via Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) technology and that you can now order a superfast broadband service.
What is superfast broadband
Superfast broadband is broadband that offers speeds between 24Mbps and 300Mbps. It’s best for people who find themselves downloading, video calling and streaming TV and music on a regular basis.
It’s also a good option for households with more than one person using the internet at the same time.
What is the difference between FTTP and FTTC
FTTP is full fibre broadband that gives you a dedicated connection that runs directly from the exchange to your property.
FTTC is part fibre broadband that uses fibre optic cables to the main exchange but then uses old copper wires to connect to properties.
Does GFast need an analogue line
With SOGfast you can offer your customers ultrafast broadband up to 330Mbps. And because it’s a fibre broadband-only line, they won’t need to order a landline as well.
Does FTTC use existing phone line
FTTC uses existing copper-wiring, so you’ll use the same phone line that you may be already using for your current internet connection.
An nbn technician will need install equipment inside and outside of your home. They will connect the copper lines that run from the pit outside in the street, to your home or business.
Is BT owned by the government
They later became a privatised company, British Telecommunications plc – the forerunner of today’s global communications company, BT Group plc, which serves customers in 170 countries.
Has BT been split into 2 companies
Ofcom and BT have agreed that Openreach will become a legally separate business within BT.
Openreach’s management will be legally required to make decisions in the interests of all Openreach’s customers.
Around 32,000 staff will transfer across to the new company and all Bt branding will disappear from Openreach.
Who is BT owned by
It means Altice – which is owned by France’s ninth-richest man, Patrick Drahi – becomes the biggest single shareholder in BT, overtaking Deutsche Telekom, which has a 12.06% stake as a result of BT’s 2014 acquisition of the mobile operator EE, which was previously part-owned by the German giant.
How many cards are in OLT
The OLT contains a central processing unit (CPU), passive optical network cards, a gateway router (GWR) and a voice gateway (VGW) uplink cards.
It can transmit a data signal to users at 1490 nanometers (nm). That signal can serve up to 128 ONTs at a range of up to 12.5 miles by using optical splitters.
Is TalkTalk and BT the same company
You don’t have to switch all your services over, but it’s important to understand that both TalkTalk TV and BT TV are not standalone products – TalkTalk TV is only available to households with TalkTalk broadband and you need BT broadband to get BT TV.
Both BT and TalkTalk offer access to both Sky Sports and BT Sport.
Does BT have a monopoly
There is no monopoly or exclusive agreement with BT, you live in a new build estate and the developer asked Openreach to install services, Virgin Media have their own network which is why they are not an option.
What is difference between OLT and ONT
The OLT serves as a connection point between a PON and your ISP’s main network.
An OLT is simply ISP equipment. Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is an acronym for Optical Network Terminal.
On your end, an ONT is a device that acts as the telecommunication chain’s terminus for the PON.
Is BT changing its name
BT has decided to drop its traditional name from most of its consumer branding and will, over time, adopt the EE name currently used for its mobile services across the vast majority of its consumer services, which it intends to extend “beyond the connectivity we provide today,” the operator announced Wednesday.
How does G Fast work
G. fast works by using the current FTTC infrastructure already installed. It works in the same way, taking data along copper cables from the internet service provider to the street cabinet and then utilising fibre optic cables to take the data from the street cabinet to the premises.
