Hiya
Hoping someone can give me some pointers here...
Is there a way to encourage FTTH installation in my street/area?
If I get pledges from say 30% of homes around my area - would a fibre infrastructure company be interested?
cheers

Those who use trigger schemes might be but they usually run these via their own website.
The usual encouragement is a chunk of cash.

Openreach's Community Fibre Partnership worked for me and my neighbours. After a decade or more of glacial internet I got a 300Mbps fibre package in January, which I upgraded to gigabit last month.
The joy comes from the lack of pain

Given that we've been promised the whole UK will have it by 2025 I'd be inclined to wait.

We've not been promised FTTH, only "gigabit capable". And it wouldn't be the first politician's promise to be broken.
50% FTTH by 2025 sounds more plausible to me.

If the current broadband isn't great I can't see gigabit being sniffed at regardless of delivery method.
Building better networks, not just faster ones.

Could be any of:
* Openreach FTTP
* Virgin's DOCSIS (coax or fibre)
* Cellular data 5G

Well there was a lot of the original FTTP 66% Commercial rollout that never went live back in 2011 / 2012 especially a lot of lines on my exchange where the hardware was installed but just wasn't commissioned off as being completed, so I wouldn't be shocked if are areas are like the same.
But to be honest I cannot see the whole of the UK getting FTTP by 2025 unless it via different providers like VM, BT and 5G etc, but you never know.

The Government is not saying all of the UK will have FTTP by 2025.
The target is 100% Gigabit coverage by the end of 2025, which is very different since VIrgin Media DOCSIS 3.1 counts and some 5G will too.
Also there was never a FTTP 66% commercial roll-out plan from BT, if I recall it was more in the order of 1 in 5 when originally talked about.

I think it was 66% commercial superfast coverage (FTTC/FTTP >30Mbit/s)
