I'd say the majority of people who don't have overhead cabling now won't want it in the future.

IMO FTTP doesn't seem to make economic sense for anything other than new builds - I wonder how much an FTTC expansion so there is a cabinet on every street would cost? With Huawei claiming 500 up and down is possible over 300 feet, that could be an option.

On my FTTC install you should have seen the engineers relief when the fault was fixed without the need to replace the drop wire which crosses a road.

Openreach talks of 12 year payback for FTTC, which given people pay just £8/m to Openreach is not surprising. It is more if you subscribe to the profits from BT Wholesale and BT Retail also backing the investment, but a more complex story than for example Verizon FIOS that is vertical or even Google Fiber

I'm band A as well. There's an aggregation node is about 30m down the road from my house.

How are you finding your bands?

Sorry, I mean how do people know which price band they are in (distance from the aggregation node)? Unless they have had quotes...

It's based on radial distance from the aggregation node, so you need to where that is.

How will I find the nearer aggregation node in my area? As I know my cabinet are within 200m away say engineer but with my sync max rate of 107000kbps down and 37000kbps up as it seem more likely I am within 100m away.

Get an estimate from one of the ISP's who can provide FTTPoD.

I understand that, what I am getting at is people are saying they are in Band A or less than 100m from their aggregation node. I just would like to know how they know this?

As far as I am aware, Openreach do not publish the aggregation node locations. So unless they have had quotations for FTTPoD, I cannot see how they know which band they are in...
