FTTC is available to order now in Barnstaple on at least one cabinet (40 in Whiddon Valley) even though the Openreach site doesn't say it is yet accepting orders. So it is well worth checking the availability checker to see if you can order it yet.
Mine is estimated at 51.1 down and 13.2 up, I'm about 200 metres by road from cabinet 40. Hopefully everyone gets better than predicted speeds.
