I think I read on tbb or elsewhere that 40% of the openreach next gen in cornwall is FTTP, if thats true thats a lot of cash spent in one area. am I wrong?

Cornish spending is within the £132m project boundaries, hence they behave a bit differently to other bits and are pushing towards 95% coverage in that figure http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/5747-superfast-co...
Yes they have a higher FTTP proportion than any other county. When they passed the 100,000 (FTTC+FTTP) I think they had around 10,000 FTTP passed with 1,000 customers

So no impact on the £2.5 billion of spending in rest of UK

I am not talking about combined FTTC/P spending but what has actually been spent on FTTP alone.

Well if Cornwall has around 10,000 (last official figure) to perhaps 15,000 FTTP lines, the rest of UK has around 80,000 of them via Openreach, so don't see the spend in Cornwall exceeding the other parts of UK.

do you have the homes passed figures? As that could easily be skewed by varying takeup levels.

I'd love to know where this leaves new housing developments which were supposed to be getting FTTP from the off.
I am in the process of buying a flat in a new block which was promised to have Openreach FTTP wiring and no copper at all.
FTTP in brownfield may have not worked out, but the idea of building a brand new housing estate or block of flats and fitting it with only copper telephone lines in this day and age is madness.

Read carefully - where does BT say it is not going to deploy any more native FTTP.
The issue is that the original dream targets are not going to be met. i.e. lots of areas where no FTTP or FTTC was announced, but had quietly being ear marked for FTTP will now be FTTC. By and large the areas where the checker says FTTP for a line should hopefully still get FTTP.
NOTE Use of should, to reflect that in some cases they may back out of a roll-out in the commercial footprint area.

It is still going ahead in some form - the openreach where/when website even includes a PDF of new building sites where FTTP is being installed.
It won't be every building site in the country though - some will still be copper. However, the openreach developers guide requires builders to install ducting prepared for the fibre now.
