Hi,
A few of my neighbours in E20 are trying to get BT FTTP. Some flats have hyperoptic and some don't (they're behind on installations) so some people want to order FTTP as a stopgap until hyperoptic have finished the rollout.
As far as I can see there is fibre termination equipment in every flat. Unfortunately the ADSL checker database doesn't show FTTP to be available so noone can order it.
Andrew, don't suppose you have any advise on this? It seems spectacularly stupid to have installed FTTP in 1000s of flats but have a database error mean noone can order it.

Do Openreach provide FTTP anywhere to blocks of flats? I thought not.

Need a full address of a flat that has working FTTP via Openreach and then one that has 'the bits' but cannot order.
Also what actual bits are installed, since usually for Openreach FTTP the final drop into each property is only done once an order is placed, but as this was greenfield things may be different.
Will also chase on roll-out speed from Hyperoptic.

Could be the former Olympic village

Picture of ONT and fibre
But on the address checker no FTTP is available.

Apologies it's so blurry. It's a pain in the behind to get a photo and it won't focus properly.

I don't know anyone that has working FTTP. I have the bits (as will every flat as far as I know) but can't order. This is the output I get.

Edit: also, I haven't found a single flat on the address checker that has FTTP available.

Probably pulled the plug on it after the games!

Can you PM me the flat number with the Hyperoptic delays (or collection of them if several are chasing)

Would be the main reason for Hyperoptic to be in there I guess. Have asked questions on both sides, so a race for the prize of customers is underway.

I does seem likely, but that sounds a weird thing to do. Surely to continue with it would have cost almost nothing. Unless all the infrastructure was in Portakabins.

And that kit is in your flat ?
|
|
|
|
Yep, but I'm with hyperoptic.
|
|
|
Oooh err, shall watch with interest. Surely the Hyperoptic kit would be different ?
|
|
|
|
I'll get back to you on this via PM.

Managed to take a slightly better photo.

You can see the hyperoptic ethernet feed there, that goes up to the switch and then the router.

Okay have an answer...
Hyperoptic expect the work to be completed in the remaining blocks in August. Which means not long to wait until pre-orders start.
To find out anything more specific needs actual flat numbers, happy to take them in PM and pester Hyperoptic accordingly.

I don't think every premises is affected by this - I'm moving to E20 in a few weeks and my new place is showing FTTP as available on the checker: http://i.imgur.com/oZr5eKD.png
Will definitely be going for Hyperoptic though!

Follow up from the BT side
FTTP should be available to order over the Openreach kit already installed, just that there have been issues with databases brought on by the conversion process from Olympic village to flats
In theory should be fixed by Monday, so looks like people can have two FTTP connections if they want.

Nice position to be in, the way it should be, especially for new builds.
