For information
This briefing is for all Communications Providers (CPs).
This briefing is to inform CPs of a Bandwidth Modify price change for GEA-FTTC and SOGEA lines upgrading to 80/20Mb. The price change will be effective as of 7 May 2025.
Openreach is announcing a price decrease to £0 for Bandwidth Modify on FTTC and SOGEA lines moving from lower speeds (18/2Mb, 40/2Mb, 40/10Mb and 55/10Mb) to 80/20Mb, effective from 7 May 2025.
CPs will continue to be charged for any Bandwidth Modify and will then be rebated on a quarterly basis where applicable according to the below schedule:
| Order completed | Rebate payment |
| April – June | 1 August |
| July-September | 1 November |
| October-December | 1 February |
| January-March | 1 May |
Existing stop-sell rules for WLR and FTTP still apply, and Bandwidth Modify will continue to be unavailable in those scenarios – the stop-sell policies remain unchanged. More detail can be found in Stop Sell Regulations.
Bandwidth Modify only applies where the service stays with the same CP.
This briefing supports ACCN OR1000.
