Two-letter codes in wholesale checker


[link to this post] 		 
At broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com, doing an address search, the list of properties in a given postcode contains:

- the UPRN
- a two-letter code
- the ALID (I think)

I'm wondering what the two-letter codes mean? I've seen ND, ES, XX

ND in the parlance of my work usually means ‘no duct’

By this might be a red herring

The BT regional prefix I would guess
E.G. ES= East Scotland ND= North Downs

🙏 Interesting. Outside of the City but EO hanging off Canonbury exchange (N1). Vestigial / historic designation?

That makes sense and matches the addresses in question.

I know someone who is trying to get service at an "XX" address. I guess that means it's not a Gold address.
