There was even a surveyors recently telling a customer that 2 Agg Nodes would be installed as part of their FTTPoD build.
1 next door and 1 across the street.
This is nonsense. You can't even order FTTPoD without already being "served by" an Agg Node.
I think that was me, as I'd posted that in this thread. I did get a quote after that survey and I've gone for it, but it's more expensive than I had hoped. It was actually £9,700+vat on the desktop and the cost quoted from the survey was actually £10,371.27+vat - which is quite a lot of money.
.
But I bought a brand new car, nearly three years ago which has done just 10,000 miles, so why isn't that a waste of money but this is?
I use the internet for work (at home), and often for play, much much more than I use my car, so I thought I would go for it, and now I'm just waiting for something or other to happen. Apparently I should know more in 2 to 3 weeks according to the supplier.
As for the cost - At that amount it seems that it does go back to the REAL agnode which is over 1km away from me according to the desktop survey.
So I don't know what the OpenReach surveyer was on about. But he was doing the whole street not just mine, so I got a survey very quickly. One interesting thing I noticed is that the houses (including mine) located near the so called "agnodes" the surveyor was on about, can now order 1000mbs/sec FTTPoD, wheras the houses much nearer the actual agnode, further up the road can still only order 330mbits/sec FTTPoD this being according to the bt wholesale checker, which of course maybe not fully correct.
