Pricing Information

All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT.

There are connection charges and annual rentals for each local end and main link. The rental element of the main link is priced according to the distance between the BT local exchanges at each end, rounded up to the nearest kilometre. For circuits that link two premises within the City of London Zone (?CLZ Circuits"), fixed rental charges (that cover both local end and main link components) will be made. CLZ is defined as that geographical area covered by the 0207 dialling code.

Charges for infrastructure over and above standard requirements are given in Section 45 Part 1 These charges include work on internal trunking & traywork; breaking through walls; additional poles, ducts and cables; radio charges and miscellaneous non-standard or specially requested items. Site connection fees are required where 2Mbit/s path is required to provide service. As such connection charges are subject to site survey. Details of the Site connection fees applicable are contained in Section 12 Part 4 These charges are in addition to those quoted below.

Singleton & Multiple Site Fee Explained

Singleton Site

Normally delivered using copper and most suitable for low volume provision (1 or 2 circuits). Customers can fill the 2Mbit/s path at the above prices, however where capacity is exhausted, the customer must order an additional 2Mbit/s, see Section 12 part 4 for prices. Availability of this service is subject to survey.

Multiple Site

Normally delivered using optical fibre. This method is, most suitable when the customer thinks they are likely to order more than one digital wideband service at this site. Multiple site connection fees are raised only once at a site and are currently £9000 (excl VAT) per end. There are no additional charges at a Multiple site when capacity has been exhausted.

Deemed Multiple Site

Deemed sites are those sites with a MegaStream already in situ prior to 31st December 2001. A customer will only receive the additional circuit charges for subsequent circuits on Sites where a fibre delivered service has been provided prior to 31st December 2001 for 2Mbit/s products. A customer may only receive reduced rentals on Sites, where a Site Fee has been paid.

If service is required at a Non-Served premises. See Section Part 5
