Re: BT installed FTTC in my area ?


[re: adslmax] [link to this post] 		 
Well the last bit of news was from bduk on the 24th May

http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2012/05/frustra...

The key part is: BDUK has since given Telford & Wrekin until the end of May 2012 to re-join the Shropshire project or their funding will be withdrawn.

Their has been nothing since, maybe Andrew can find out whats the latest situation from BDUK- as their should be a new update by now?

In reply to a post by adslmax:
I think my council had withdrawal BDUK (Telford & Wrekin Council) from government. I don't know why is this ? My exchange will never get FTTC for the next 5 years and I just know it.


Well you already have 16mbit downstream and 1.1mb upstream, would you like to swap with me and have my 2mbit connection? If not, stop whining that you may have to wait a year or two!

Many would very much like a connection as fast as yours.

Oh if I had my choice I would have BT openreach FTTP, though we have to make do with what we have, or move house (which isn't an option for everyone obviously).

All I meant was be aware you could be in a far worse position than you currently are. With 16mbit, you can download HD movies in a reasonable amount of time (it takes me days, as if I download at my maximum 2mbit, the connection is unresponsive for everything else!).
