According to the engineers working in Broughton Square, FTTP will be installed in Broughton, Broughton Village and Broughton Gate....

Now let's hope that is true and timely..

Champers will stay in the fridge for now...

Another person spoke to engineers and they reconfirmed, and gave indication that trial connection should be possible in about a week.
I hope that means they move to the next bit of Broughton (Gate) to start putting in the main fibre feeds.

So it's the BT manholes on the pavements to watch out for rather than the green cabinets?

Correct, they will pull/push the main fibre through the ducts under the roads and side walks, and install a number of splitters under those twin man holes. Each splitter serves about 128 connections.

Once your local splitter is commisioned, you can try to get on the trial, and then they come and run the fibre from the splitter to your property.

So keep an eye for the big Fibre trucks delivering the fibre and the engineers installing the splitters. You can they start checking the adsl checker to see when this is available to you, and they get onto the ISP's to get connected.
Checked is updated about 2 weeks in advance of being available, so the Fibre trucks are still the best early sign of a high speed future.

Well it'll be noticeable if and when they do as it's right next to our postboxes!

Won't need a telescope that's for sure.gionstis veritatis

UPDATE >>> I did a cli check for the shops (budgens) and it does say its FTTP enabled!!
The Chip shop however isnt (so far) nor my house which is the new part of Broughton Village. Noticed the BT vans have disappeared, has anyone seen them elsewhere in broughton.

Not seen any parked up, do see them driving about BG as people are moving in...keeping 'em peeled...

Hmm, seems to have gone a bit quiet, not seen any activity near or on Countess Way....
