The person I'm checking for is also listed as FTTC on her cabinet. My guess is that the Openreach fibre rollout document should read FTTC/P for Eastbourne and not FTTP.

BT have very firmly stated that you will get either FTTC or FTTP deployed, but not both - so you will never get the choice.

That statement is pretty definitive, at least for the current deployment. I'd expect the attitude to thaw in maybe another decade or so...

Today I noticed a new green cabinet next to the existing BT cabinet in my area. It had a warning saying 220 volts which I took to mean its a power cabinet and not a cable cabinet. It wasn't very large either about half the size of the existing cabinet.

Is this a FTTC BT cabinet or power for one? Eastbourne is on the list for the end of march currently.

I don't know what to look for or how to check the status so can anyone clear that up please? Thanks.

Sounds like a FTTC cabnet. They have a power compartment in the side where the warning sticker is.

Update: the rollout document has indeed now been corrected to read FTTC/P for Eastbourne, rather than FTTP.

So is Eastbourne getting a Mixture of BOTH depending where they are needed?

Am only curious as i am in Cooden which is YET to have anything Fibre related..

BTW if your in or around Eastbourne / Hastings, greetings

Yeah, I'm in the Eastbourne area. Hi .

Not sure exactly what it happening with FTTP in Eastbourne. The most I know is that a company called CloudConnX has been awarded council money to develop it.

They've been kind of quiet though.

"The cutting-edge technology will cost the council £357,000 and is due to be launched in January 2012."

Hmm.
