Thought that'd be the case!

Well, Ta-daaa! here's the response back from BT:

Dear David,

Thank you for your communication about the availability of Fibre Broadband at cab 41 on the Exmouth exchange.
However, I am extremely sorry to inform you, that the upgrade of cab 41 falls outside of our current upgrade footprint.

Blah Blah Blah 66% coverage by 2014, and here's how brilliant we are...

So this leaves me thinking... Where do I go now

A case of waiting for the Devon and Somerset project to announce what areas it will be enabling and with what technology

Thanks Andrew,

I guess it's probably worth me forwarding this NGA e-mail onto them and registering as a not-spot for fibre.

Cheers,
-Dave

To the estate agent...

First port of call should be you local council. If you are not in the commercial rollout you may be in the Intervention area. Rember they arelooking at providing 25MBS to most of the UK with only a small number of mainly very remote rural areas getting 2Mbs

Depending on how detailed the advance planning is they may be able to tell you by BT Cabinet or Postcode

That's interesting, so the forthcomingminimum speed on a housing estate type environment is 25Mbps? This I didn't know

Which council should I approach, I have:
Exmouth Town Council
East Devon District Council
Devon County Council.

My guess would be Devon County Council on this one?
Cheers!
-Dave

I'm guessing this will point the way: http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/, where the intervention map has a lot of white areas.

Edit: Add Map.
