Better Broadband for Suffolk Wortham Area Broadband Briefing 1

The Basics Telephony and broadband are delivered via a simple network. 2 Diss, Botesdale & Mellis

The Basics There are two main generations of consumer broadband, which are delivered through your fixed telephone line: -Exchange Based ADSL/ADSL2+ Up to 24Mbps download, up to 1Mbps upload Speed reliant on distance from telephone exchange (2.4km typical) Cheap, but little competition in rural areas -Fibre (FTTC) Up to 80Mbps download, up to 20Mbps upload. Speed reliant only on distance from green cabinet (500m typical) Higher monthly premium, but increasing regulation / choice NOT fed from the local exchange, but fed from one of around 12 key exchanges. 3

Broadband Coverage in Suffolk – Before Fibre 4

~55% Commercial Fibre Coverage vs. State Intervention Delivered between 2011 and Spring 2014 (£2.5bn / 66% UK) 5

Key Highlights of the Suffolk/BT Plan Initial contract – Suffolk investing £11.68m to match BDUK £11.68m … each Suffolk £1 leveraging £4 of total spend Extends future-proof fibre-based broadband to ~85% of Suffolk premises by % coverage of at least 2Mbps by % of premises currently getting less than 2Mbps will be upgraded to fibre-based broadband 6

Delivery To Date >85k premises delivered to date Over 1000 miles of optical fibre installed Totalling 100k premises by September 2015 Gives ~85% fibre coverage across Suffolk, or ~300k premises Trials of new technologies to reach more challenging areas (FTTRN, wireless backhaul etc) But leaves 10-15% of Suffolk with speeds between 2Mbps and 24Mbps but not via fibre 7

Future Rollout / Getting to 100% Coverage Already have 85% fibre coverage under contract, but always conscious that we need to do something for the other 15%. So: Second contract currently being negotiated using further government (SEP and LEP) funding (£30m) to reach at least 95% between Autumn 2015 and Rollout plan announced October 2015, currently being surveyed and designed. Commitment made by SCC Cabinet today, to get to 100% no later than 2020 (not yet funded) 8

Prioritisation 1 st scheme only ever had sufficient funding to get to 85%. (~£22m) This equates to around 100k premises of the 350k in Suffolk We asked BT to design a network which took the funding envelope, and gave us the maximum coverage per public pound, based on targeting the slowest areas (most of Suffolk, see side 4). No other prioritisation was applied, as it would distort the economics of the network design, increase cost, reduce coverage. Therefore, 15% of the county have not benefitted from the first scheme, and will need additional funding under the 2 nd scheme. (Includes areas like Haverhill / Farthing Rd Ind Estates, Walsham) 2 nd scheme uses £30m to get to at least 95% (around 50k premises). Technology improvements should reduce this cost. Ultimately we will also upgrade the final 5% 9

Local Rollout Plans – Coverage 10

Summary & Key Messages We have made massive progress against a huge problem so far – 85k premises and 1000 miles of fibre. We know we are only at around 80% coverage, and have committed unprecedented funding to get to 95% ASAP. (£22m on phase 1, £30m on phase 2). Prioritisation under 1 st scheme was about using the funding available to get to as many of the slowest areas as possible. Wortham is particularly challenging, and didn’t benefit under the limited funding of the 1 st scheme. This is essentially due to there being no local cabinet, but the area being on the fringes of 3 or 4 cabinets, resulting in very high cost to upgrade. Wortham is absolutely included in the 2 nd scheme (2016 & 2017) We appreciate the need, and are doing all we can to fix the problem for all villages in Suffolk We are pushing to beat deadlines and deliver faster, as we fully appreciate that people need better broadband immediately. We’ll have a full rollout plan and schedule for you by October this year, if not before. We’ll come back and talk through the rollout plan in October. 11
