The users will hopefully be distributed around it rather than at one location smile.

Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 59.4/14.4Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

Maybe not, if you delve into quantum mechanics.

If it's anything like where I am, Openreach have identified three areas that will get FTTP instead of FTTC. They don't even cover many properties, probably no more than 100 or so.

Which will be no use to me, I had hoped we would get upgraded to ADSL 2+ at least! Or I did wonder instead of running the copper from a cabinet, which we don't have any in the village at all, it would come straight from the exchange?Which would in fact give me the same kind of speeds, due to the distance.

I work from home as a web developer and it's proving to be harder and harder uploading HD video and other larger files overnight.

Until the network is built there is no way to guarantee whether you will get FTTP, or whether they might change the plans and install a cabinet (even if you don't have one now).

Some areas are getting FTTP deployed, so it may happen. Only time will tell.

I thought they were going to roll out 21CN as a matter of course.

They did in the village where my parents live even though fibre isn't due there until sometime next year. It made a big difference going from 6.8/0.45 to 20/2.4
