Can I get any Fibre?

Good Afternoon,

I am looking to buy a new house and when I check on the BT Wholesale Broadband Checker I get this I have also checked with BT.com and only get ADSL speeds.

I checked IDNET and got the same, and the address is not covered by Virgin Media.

I even checked a local number here and got the same result.

I checked nearby address' all the same, any idea's?

Cancel your house buying! Not worth it if there is only ADSL available. That's pretty rubbish speed at the new house! I have checked your post code via openreach full fibre checker as it saying We're sorry, our fibre products aren't available for you yet.
We don’t have plans to upgrade your area yet to our fibre services, but you may still be able to get our Standard copper products - check with your provider of choice.

Looks like you are SOL: there is no fibre on cabinet 64. Probably 4G/5G is your best bet.

It certainly looks like a bit of a broadband dead spot.

So about the same as me, I dropped my flaky ADSL and went 4g, line balancing two 4g routers (one Three and one EE gets me 120mbs down and 40mbs up. But you have to have coverage, best checked by using a mobile and PAYG sims. Beware, Three can get congested at peak periods so cheapest has its down sides.

Some of those addresses are showing as Openreach FTTP coming soon on the checker, so it depends how long you are prepared to wait, bearing in mind there is no guarantee that those plans won't change.

With an estate of newish houses it is a surprise that only ADSL is available. I wonder if it was Monastery land and there is some sort of Covenant on it. Or is is a private estate ( not adopted) and permission for an FTTC Cab was not given. ( Street lights seem to have big gaps so power may also have been an FTTC limiter.)

It seems a prime location for a retrospective FTTP rollout looking at the area BUT present usage will be so low that none of the automated tools will identify it as a demand. It would need a human with local knowledge to identify it and push it for investment. Likely a CFP would drive it to Openreach funded area. Or wait for the exchange area to be done for Cu withdrawal.

Very true but it does work the other way too. My address was listed on the Openreach site as no plans then 4 weeks later, it was in. They do change their minds like the wind.......usually when an AltNet turns up

I look up Openreach site and there isn't any Fibre planned?

Number 117, as an example, returns the FTTP coming soon result.
