Full fibre comes from same exchange but because of constitue

The council in the village close to me invested in FTTP but since im in a different county I was not part of build plans however some people who ordered their fibre comes from the same exchange as the one my internet comes from( used this website to find out:https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/exchanges/find)
If I use the postcode from the different county it shows as fttp capable but if I use my post code it says its unavailable even though its the same exchange just wondering if its possible for it to be installed into my home event though the councils are different

If your phone line is with a BT Wholesaler provider, like BT, Plusnet, aquiss, IDNet, Zen put you phone number into this checker.

If you are with TalkTalk or Sky or Vodafone or one of their resellers you need to use the address option of the same checker.

This should tell you if you can order FTTP. (Ignore FTTPoD as that is hugely expensive, £8,000+ to install).

There is a chance that the FTTP you are talking about is not from any of these, but from a supplier such as City Fibre. How you check for that I don't know.

So gigaclear are part of the fttp in that different county that is close to me so I emailed them but haven't heard back yet so BT have nothing to do with it because they only provide me with Superfast fibre. From what I saw on the link in my first post is that there are 2 different post codes that link to the same exchange but display different results and im not meant to get openreach to install it until 2024 at the latest and gigaclear are doing the north of my county first and theres been no change on that for ages even though its meant to be finished by now, honestly whoever managing the fttp builds in my county are useless every other county is getting it installed in multiple locations except for mine

It’s quite possible that any (future) FTTP that would serve your property, would come from the same Headend exchange that serves the deployment in the neighbouring village.

However without knowing the history / background, that neighbouring deployment could be a small isolated deployment possibly part of a BDUK initiative or even a Community Fibre Partnership (CFP) - both of which are means to accelerate fibre deployment to areas which otherwise have poor broadband. It could also be part of a native Openreach deployment that simply hasn’t reached you (yet).

Thus an exchange itself can be FTTP enabled, but currently only serve partial exchange areas as these may be smaller deployments, as noted above, or simply its work in progress as part of the wider national rollout. As Openreach need to cover the entire country…millions of premises, this programme of work will take most of this decade.

The latest Full Fibre Rollout programme from Openreach for the Fibre First Towns, Cities and Boroughs Programme is shown in the first table from pages 2 to 23 here. The second table on page 24 shows their Market Towns & Villages Build Programme

Edit - oh well scrap that it’s Gigaclear in the shires!

Postcodes are useless for FTTP checking, as they can be served by multiple exchanges. For example, the BT Wholesale checker postcode option simply won't check for it.

You drafting probably crossed with the OP's reply to me. It's Gigiclear and he has already contacted them.

From his reply to me it seems he knows as much as anyone .

I expect the BT Wholesale checker says you can get FTTPoD. Get a quote!

Indeed. He who hesitates is lost! 😎🤣
