In reply to a post by MrSaffron:

Question will be if once BT do the survey will they invoke their ability to re-quote once they find out the route is actually 2km rather than 200m due to river etc.

Will be very interesting. I am 150m from my cabinet. My cable route is 600m. Potentially a big difference for costs - if I get charged the 150m cost then I would be sorely tempted to upgrade but the 600m cost could be a bit too high to justify at the moment.

It does ... and their cabinet has FTTC.
