Ancillary Services

Date 11/02/22

On 28 October 2021 Ofcom published a statement confirming the obligations applying to KCOM from 1 November 2021 in respect of the provision of various wholesale services. As required by Ofcom, KCOM is working to develop and launch:

  • a revised Wholesale FibreLine Local Access (WFLLA) product, which will offer connectivity either in exchanges or to a CP point of presence anywhere in the Hull Area and
  • a Dark Fibre Access product

These services will be made available from 1 May 2022 and 1 August 2022 respectively.

As an interim step and in order to meet customer requirements, we are publishing a new agreement covering the provision of:

  • Co-Location Services,
  • Exterior Cable Connect and
  • Internal Cable Connect.

These services, known as Ancillary Services will be available to order from 11th March 2022 and will provide connectivity within KCOM Exchanges to support a number of products.

They will be available to be used as connectivity options for the revised WFLLA Reference Offer and the Dark Fibre Access Reference Offer when they are launched.
