re: BT Goes With Huawei for FTTH They will be happy to spare 2 engineers and work on the coffee dispenser if it can enhance customer experience.

re: BT Goes With Huawei for FTTH Wonder if BT's staff canteen coffee dispenser is supplied by Huawei? :-)

re: BT Goes With Huawei for FTTH I see that Huawei has a banner ad on LR. Next time they renew their contract, you should say to them, "Huawei, NOT AGAIN"

re: BT Goes With Huawei for FTTH What BT and UK customers need is a real competitor to BT for local access.

A monopolistic carrier that is way behind in technology deployments.

Wow 10mbps to the home how exciting BT. So much for the 21CN optical access vision - duh ?

re: BT Goes With Huawei for FTTH I can't help thinking that comparing 2008 with the mid 1990s might not be appropriate... fiber access technology has moved on a bit since then, as it has since 2006.

Not to say that this will be a success just because the technology has advanced, but...

Whatever BT does, the U.K. is going to be years, maybe decades, behind France. Now, THAT'S a broadband economy.

re: BT Goes With Huawei for FTTH Graham Finnie says this is a "great win for Huawei,", well no, not really.

BT has had a long affair with fibre access, doing trials from the mid 80s. They tried PON in the mid 90s in Milton Keynes. This went so well that they had to overlay the network with copper to get high speed internet access.

I think this will be their fifth PON trial (the last one being long lines in the Cherry Hinton area of Cambridge in 2006), and probably their tenth fibre access trial.

re: BT Goes With Huawei for FTTH You right....even 21cn was old fashioned. They will be decades behind other carriers. It's not enough they rip off the public/business by charging for local calls they cannot even offer quality broadband service.....a sign of a true monopolistic company.
