fttpod

hi all, just wandering if anyone knows who is offering this service as a line check shows that it is now available for me but i cannot find an isp who sells this to get a quote for installation.

Not really an answer to your question, but this price list might give you an idea of the costs involved.

My ISP (IDNet) will supply FTTP in enabled areas, not sure if the availability checker (here) also covers FTTPoD.

Forget that, it's rubbish.

FTTPoD details here. It ain't cheap

BIGGEST RIP OFF BY OPENREACH. FORGET IT

Now now max.

First, you replied to me, and I have no intention of going for FTTPoD.

Second, to some people the Openreach prices for FTTPoD will be acceptable. The profits to these people from having it could dwarf the cost.

Third:-

Do
Not
Shout.

You know better .

Quite apart from scaring the prowling night-time cats outside your house.
_{Edit - stupidly put FTTC when I meant FTTPoD on the second line.}

All I say another rip off UK. Sick of it!

FTTPoD can be a bargain for those businesses that need it and work out much cheaper than a leased line. That you are unable to understand this says a lot.

In reply to a post by adslmax:

So now "rip off UK" = Paying the real cost of something ?

For sure to most a lot of money but if you have a real need for it it may well cost in.

Look on FTTPoD as a 40 Mbps CIR with burst to 330 Mbps and compare to the monthly price and install fee of similar Ethernet service and price is certainly more attractive.

I susspect final connection charges for FTTPod could easily double those once all the construction and build costs are added.

Yep a hell of a lot will depend on duct being in place and clear to use.

i had a new line installed recently so in know there is duct from cabinet to the pole at the end of my street.

Do you ? or do you not think they may have used the cable that was already in place ? Even if a new pole and cable that will only go back to the next joint.

i had a new line installed, an engineer came on the installation day and said he could not do the new line as there were no more cables to run from, so he arranged another date for another engineer to come a run a cable from the cabinet, this is what i was told, so i believe them.
