How Fibre To The Premises is done in the UK with a visit to the Wildanet training centre.

We get unprecedented access to a UK fibre network provider who are installing FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) broadband. From planning, to digging up the road, installing straws, blowing fibres, and connecting. We get to see what the big operators would never let you see. In this part we speak to Paddy Paddison, Chief Information and Technology Officer of Wildanet, an ISP (Internet Service Provider) who operate in Cornwall and Devon in the UK. He shows us their training centre and tells us how it is installed and works. Ian Carmichael shows us how to blow fibres through straws and connect up. In a future episode we will get to see an installation get enabled.

Also known as FTTH or Fibre To The Home. Or Fiber, if you want to spell it that way. Installing fibre in the town of Yealmpton near Plymouth, Devon.

1:19:16 Missing audio should ask the question, "will anyone be compelled to go with Wildanet or Openreach or any other ISP to get a telephone service?".
