Yes but your email has "British Telecommunications plc"
Adslmax put "OpenReach plc" which doesn't exist.

It will cost more than FTTC VDSL services

Fair enough, I can only get around 35Mb/s here anyway, I doubt G.fast would make a difference to me. TBH, I am fine with the speed I have, I would not pay more to go faster.

Whilst I have no doubt g.fast will be on it's way to you I do doubt the authenticity of the above email, not because of what's in it but because of what isn't.

Oh, I missed that part, been a very long day for me today and I am making mistakes all over the place LOL.

But yeah, not had any "Openreach plc" sigs in any emails from them

I got the same email back in 2013 when they told me that my cabinet (FTTC) will go live in Feb 2014 and by that time, the email are correct as my FTTC did actally went LIVE in Feb 2014.

Why should I made it up?

Who cares about plc things! The email is genuine! Next August 2018 my cabinet will go live and I will tell u 'I told u so! I didn't made it up!'.

Who cares about plc things!

Considering the importance of branding and the position of openreach, it's hugely important, even more so considering the position of the person it is purportedly from.

Believe me if that guy had gone rogue and put �Openreach Plc� in his signature it would have been picked up by one of his seniors in no time. It looks ridiculous and I�ve never, ever seen it. There are pre-formatted signatures that are permitted. Anything else is a no no anyway.

I think in addition the BT mail server adds a system generated signature to all external email also, which isn�t seen when writing the email. At present Openreach are using the same server as the rest of BT Group. Though that could change soon, who knows.

Also the company registered number is wrong too. In the email it says;

Registered in England no. 1800000

But on companies house its: 01800000

So someone forgot to add the zero before that number. At the very least its been manually typed.

Okay people are allowed their doubts but this is getting ridiculous and thus closing things down.
