Commercial rollout is due to end 2014, and FTTP on demand arrive in 2013. So one would presume that most FTTP areas which is NOT that many compare to FTTC will be done by end of 2013

The news on 150 new staff in Openreach may improve the speed, particularly as a lot of FTTP is civil works, i.e. duct blockage clearing, new pavement chambers, installing the tubing. The fibre blowing and jointing is almost easy once the prep work has been done

Hello so all i live in camborne cornwall i am getting fttc on the 1st may i live just under 200 meters from the new street cab i have been told i should get 59mb download and 20mb upload from bt but just to day i have been told that this fibre will drop in speed after 3 to 4 weeks it no good i do not understand what is going on with this pal of mine but it may be he is more then a mile or two from his fttc

At a guess someone has tried to explain crosstalk to you, if you know the distance to the cabinet then

can give some idea of the probably speed, as those estimates include cross-talk. which also the Openreach estimates generally include too.

If your pal is more than a mile from the cabinet, then they will be seeing poor speeds.
