A friend is on one of the newly listed FTTPoD exchanges and would love to get an improvement on the current sub-1Mb ADSL service. Various calls to BT have proved fruitless. Does anyone know of a contact there who can arrange for pricing?

As I said in the news item, it will take a while for providers to get their heads around this one.
Thus it may be a while before the call centre staff have even been briefed at all, thus if talking of BT Retail don't rush, and they may only offer on business terms.

He does not mind - either a Residential or Business install will do! Provided it does not come in at £10k !

A friend is on one of the newly listed FTTPoD exchanges and would love to get an improvement on the current sub-1Mb ADSL service. Various calls to BT have proved fruitless. Does anyone know of a contact there who can arrange for pricing? I thought FTTPoD was only available through a cabinet. If your friend can't get FTTC they can't get FTTPoD either.

Their cabinet is enabled - just they are too far.

Given that the installation price band is based on the radial distance from the aggregation point, how far are they from the cab?
|
|
|
Radially from the nearest aggregation point - about 500m, from their actual cabinet 1200m.

So that line length will be a true test of the BT installation prices!
How much!

It will be an interesting one:
Nearest node (actually at the exchange) 500m (a little over)
Cabinet 1200 - 1400m
Line length to cabinet ~3200m
Line length to Exchange ~9000m
The document quotes radial distances.
Anyway, it does not answer the original question. He needs a number to call.

MaxDSL - goes as fast as it can and doesn't read the line checker first.

And anyone taking FFTPoD should be able to afford AAISPs prices

Not at 3200m ... the 1200 is the radial distance.

There's always an 'if', isn't there ...... some people are just Soooo fussy. 
Are they round my way ? I am one of only four trained to fit it round here, so it *might* be me !

There must be someone else living round this way ??

You could always move?

Radial distances, yes.
But the pricing document is confusing about where the distance is measured to...
Below the table of price bands, it states the charge is based on the radial distance to the relevant node, not the nearest.
Higher up, it uses the term nearest, but only when mentioning that 96% are within 2km of the nearest node... but it doesn't state that it will be used for setting the charge!
It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
