There's no hard and fast guarantee that you will be able to order immediately from your ISP of choice (or any). Depending on where you are there may still be work for an ISP to establish or upgrade their backhaul at the headend exchange.

There may be a further delay due to this or indeed if their backhaul is all good it may take a little while for the ISP own ordering system to catch up.

So don't be surprised if you cant order immediately (or even for a few days, weeks or longer).

This appears to be the last street in the village to have FTTP completed. I will be going with Sky who are already up and running in the village. A friend who also stays in the village saw it available on Sky systems at exactly the same time as the Openreach checker so I am hoping I will have a similar experience. Openreach checker is still showing FTTP on Demand with speeds of 330/50.

A fair few people on here have said the DSL checker changes to FTTP on Demand speed 1000/220 before ultimately going to FTTP

That is what happened for my friends house, but he wasn't checking daily to see how long it had the 1000/220 speed for FTTP on Demand.

The FTTP on Demand speeds are showing as 1000/220 this morning. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Still just FTTP on Demand this morning. The gut I have been dealing with at Openreach phoned yesterday to say that he was hoping it would be available to order this morning, but looks like a bit more of a wait .

May be a few more sleeps before it happens

The guy from Openreach seemed to think this should be pretty quick. Really it should have been last September but the contractor seems to have failed to put up a pole. When the guy I have been contacted the PM about the complaint all the work was done over a 2 week period and the PM reported that commissioning should be quick as it started first thing on Monday morning.

He is now on annual leave but suggested I keep an eye on https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL/... throughout the day as updates can take place at any time, and as soon as commissioning completes.

Thats good to know

Openreach have completed commissioning and https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL showed as WBC FTTP this morning. I have placed an order with Sky with an install on 03rd March. It is showing as a 1 stage install. I hope that means that when the engineer arrives it should be simple to pull the fibre through using the current copper line as I previously said that just appears from the floor in the cupboard under the stairs. There is no entry through an external wall currently.
