FTTP Nodes location

A while back on this forum there was a link to a map that showed where FTTP nodes were in your area (similar to being able to see cabs), does anyone remember this and know what the post/link is

thanks

As far as I am aware the location of FTTP fibre nodes has never been revealed on any map or other media that is available to the general public..... unless someone knows otherwise

What like FTTP aggregation or splitter nodes? Not to my knowledge. Ever.

Ditto for a list of Headend / Handover FTTP exchanges. Certainly not a compiled freely/publicly available as a list, though obv. many are known through other means and providers have this info though their own ordering etc portals.

The only map is in relation to FTTC, this shows availability of FTTP and speed CodeLook

Lots of people would pay good money to see a map like that so if it exists lets hope someone shares a link

Curious: why would anyone pay to know where Openreach aggregation nodes are?

Their location isn't a massive secret but they are not and have never been public knowledge.

Just a turn of phrase to mean some people would be interested to know how far away their aggregation node is (it wasn't meant to be literal), that curiosity may not extend to you but lots of people have been interested to know including the OP.

I only wanted to know, so i could work out which direction they will build the fibre spine to, as we have two directions. Slightly more so now, given they have said a group of 10 houses are non viable despite having cbts fitted.

I think others who have been interested have been for similar reasons and especially when more were looking at going down the FTTPod or CFP route. I now know where mine is since having it installed but I was curious beforehand as I was looking at several options.

We are in a little hamlet, circa 100 houses, and that is about 1.5km from our local cabinet. So I don't know if its gonna be, mini olt or fibre to the agg node, and which agg node if thats an option.

I only care about that info for roadworks, otherwise i don't care two bits about it ..

But i do understand the security reasons why its not disclosed

Fair. Even though it has no impact on the service received I guess someone may have some interest. I'm not especially interested but for various reasons know where the Openreach, Netomnia and CityFibre nodes serving me are.

EDIT: Tons of new ones are being built as part of the wider FTTP rollout, the existing ones for FTTC aren't close to enough to feed everything, so a map shown here a while ago, if there was one, would be hugely out of date and obsolete now, mind. Chambers being enlarged tends to be a big giveaway as to where a new node is going for those interested, as do streetworks notices for splicing works over a period.

Agree static drawings get out of date quickly. The aggregation node serving me is some way away and Openreach had already added a reasonably large sub node (don't know the proper term) to it which is a lot closer to me with a fair few pre-spliced fibres going straight through to it, so there was no need to do anything at the aggregation node including the need to run back to it. I am aware of a fair few other PONs going back to the same sub node so it was a good move by Openreach.

I know if you do a leased line quote with BTW they tell you the distance to the Aggregation node, capacity in it etc.

At Least in the wholesale side of things, I only know because I checked my address e.g. it often shows it under the ECI section.

In my case 2.4KM no ECI or additional costs, fibre already present or something like that, its been a while since I did a leased line. To be honest if you need a leased line you don't really have an option if there is a cost and its the only option for your business.
