Openreach - Fibre Equipment Upgrade


[link to this post]
 
I posted a few weeks ago about being unable to change suppliers due to the cabinet being full. I got in touch with Openreach who have finally responded. In the E-Mail they state

"I’ve looked into your enquiry and Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) is in your area but we’re currently experiencing higher than expected volumes. The fibre equipment that currently serves your property is full so we can’t accept any new connections at this time. However we will have some fantastic connectivity options for your home. I can see the fibre equipment you’re connected to is getting an upgrade. This will give you fibre to the premises. Our engineering will take place over the coming month/s. If everything goes to plan, fibre broadband should be available to order by the end of July 2021."

Does that mean that I'll be getting access to full fibre or does it mean that the cab will be upgraded and its just badly worded? It claims it'll give me FTTP but it also claims the fibre I'm already connected to is getting an upgrade.

AIUI you will be getting FTTP, some times refered to as full fibre. I would expect you to see signs of activity fairly soon.

Their response could have been worded better, but there is no confusing the statement, “This will give you fibre to the premises.” That is unequivocal.
