For Information 

This briefing is for all Communications Providers (CPs) who consume Copper and FTTP.

This briefing is for all Communications Providers (CPs), and is to correct some errors in the Briefing GEN115/24.

The corrections to briefing GEN115/24 amount to:

i) Rewording the start of the second paragraph of the main briefing to clarify when the changes to the Openreach LAD file actually occur.

ii) Correcting a date error in the fourth paragraph of the main briefing.

iii) Correcting the final table to put the correct 1141 codes as well as the SAU ID’s of the exchanges effected.

This briefing is to inform CPs about the availability of a copy of the September 2024 LAD file showing how the postcodes of a further 5 exchanges, in addition to the 99 to be exited exchange areas notified within GEN024/24 notification will map to their enduring Openreach Handover Point (OHP) exchanges. For avoidance of doubt this does not replace the formal September 2024 LAD file that Openreach use to determine service availability and normal pricing.

EAD, EAD Rugged, DFA, OSA and OSEA ('Ethernet') orders placed within these 5 exchange areas, to the enduring OHP exchange rather than the closing exchange, from 17/01/25 until 16/01/26 will be entitled to the equivalent pricing as they would be if provisioned to the to be exited exchange (‘Local Access pricing’).

The file is available to download from the secure area of the Openreach customer portal - Ethernet Access Direct (openreach.co.uk)
