Fibre on Demand provides full-fibre broadband, as a bespoke installation by Openreach to your premises. It is available across the UK – even in areas that cannot reliably get FTTC.

Fibre on Demand differs from standard Cerberus FTTP in a number of important ways. Because the fibre is delivered to your premises as a custom build, a substantial installation charge will apply. These Installation charges are determined following an onsite site survey at your premises.

The lead time for installation is dependent on the amount of work needed to get the fibre to your location. This is based on the distance to the nearest NGA aggregation node but could vary according to the local network infrastructure - or the local geography. Because of the extensive network build involved, the average time to complete the network build is twelve months.

After the standard 24 month contract, Fibre on Demand can be re-graded to a regular Cerberus FTTP service. These services typically have lower pricing and a wider range of bandwidth options than the FoD variant of FTTP.

Linked Orders - Work with neighbours to share installation costs

A unique feature of Cerberus Fibre on Demand is the option to share the installation costs with neighbours also wanting to upgrade to ultrafast broadband.

As long as the neighbouring premises are all reasonably close to each other, much of the new fibre infrastructure installed by Openreach can be used to serve a cluster of premises without adding significantly to the overall costs.

For linked FoD orders, Openreach survey all interested premises and provides a single cost to deliver fibre to all of them. For a few premises, the total cost will often not be significantly higher than for the network build to to a single address.

This total installation charge is then split between all participating customers, resulting in a build charge per customer. Working with neighbours in this way means you can make ultrafast fibre broadband available almost anywhere in the UK.

Cerberus provides all the assistance and order management tools needed to facilitate Linked Fibre on Demand orders and by working together in a group of neighbours, the costs can be kept manageable.

Important Information

The minimum contract term for Fibre on Demand orders is 24 months.

Service can be re-graded to a “native” FTTP service after completion of the initial 24 month contract.

The installation charge for the service will be confirmed after the field survey. The lead time for field surveys is around 28 days but is subject to local availability.

The estimated minimum lead time for activation is up to 12 months from completion of planning work following the field survey.

Due to the variable nature of FoD installations, the estimated lead time is for guidance only and is not subject to SLA.

The field survey charge of £325.00 + VAT is payable in advance and is non-refundable.

A BT connection charge of £495.00 + VAT will apply to each order.

A Cerberus connection charge of £545.00 + VAT will apply to each order.

Fibre on Demand FAQs

FTTP on Demand is a bespoke fibre broadband solution that extends Openreach's fibre infrastructure directly to your premises, even if standard FTTP isn't currently available in your area. It enables businesses to access ultrafast, full-fibre connectivity by building upon the existing SOGEA (Fibre to the Cabinet) network.

Once installed, the speeds are exactly the same! Cerberus Networks offers FoD packages with download speeds up to 900Mbps and upload speeds up to 115Mbps. These speeds provide the performance needed for bandwidth-intensive applications, cloud services, and seamless remote working

FoD involves two main costs: a one-time installation fee and a monthly service charge. The installation fee varies based on factors like distance from the existing fibre network and required construction work. Monthly charges depend on the selected service package. Cerberus Networks provides detailed quotes following a site survey to determine the specific requirements and associated costs for your premises.

The installation timeline for FoD is typically twelve months. Factors influencing the duration include the complexity of the build, necessary permissions, and scheduling of engineering work. the team at Cerberus Networks will keep you updated throughout the network build, but there may be factors outside of our control such as obtaining traffic management permits or wayleave from third parties.

FoD is ideal for businesses requiring high-speed, reliable internet connectivity in areas where standard FTTP isn't available. It's particularly beneficial for organisations that rely on cloud-based applications, large data transfers, or have multiple users requiring consistent bandwidth. However, due to the bespoke nature and associated costs, it's best suited for businesses where these benefits justify the long-term investment.
