Re: Confusion over BT's information


[re: chrisadsl] [link to this post]
 
I've given you the post codes and percentage of lines for each.

On the less than 100% ones I assume it is to do with the detailed routing from the cabinet to the premises. No idea really.

Is your post code one ot the ones I've listed?

Yes Bob, and thanks. I'd already got the PCP to Postcode report and found my pc as SSCMN,CHELTENHAM,GL510EG,{SSCMN}{p122},0,100,51.02,6b,Yes,FTTP

but I wasn't sure if that implied 100% would get FTTP. Even if it does, quite frankly I'm surprised. It means all of a very long residential road, and that in a less-than-affluent part of town!

Is the 100% saying "all of the lines WILL be switched over", or is it saying something more akin to "all of the lines CAN be switched over if requested"?

My understanding is the percentage field states that N% of lines for the listed postcode are connected via that particular PCP.

I've just checked the first 11 lines of the CSV file that I've got archived --

FTTP deployment, usually all kit installed up to around 30m or so from the premises with final connection done as people order it. Thus avoids disturbing people who have no desire for it at all, but infrastructure is close enough that a new resident can order it relatively easily.

Presumably not the way that the cable cos do it, as I can't see BT/OR digging more trenches to lay down more ducting? Where do the DPs go?

Pretty much how they did back in the 90's, with cabling up to the property boundary and then whatever method was easiest for the final drop when the service was ordered and connected, often laid on surface or through some basic pipe/conduit, even hosepipe.
Blocks of flats,MDU's and terraced houses were often cabled externally in bulk and the final lead in done as and when service ordered.

For Openreach FTTP they will either be in footway box's (underground) or on poles.

That's what I mean - I remember Telewest installing like that and leaving a right mess, with open pipes poking out from grass verges etc. I can't see BT going to the same lengths, so imagine poles will be the way to go for most.

As I understand it, the final run to property will be down existing tube if present, i.e. should not have any of the tell tale cable pipes popping out of the pavement

Indeed, the GPO / BT / Openreach ducting into properties that don't have overhead cables are run as the properties are built therefore no mess.

Obviously this ducting is owned by OR so Virgin would have to lay their own - post build - hence the mess.
