This one is one of the last 5 cabs in the area that were in the commercial rollout that Openreach are currently finishing off. The fibre cab was stood and power connected about a month ago.
Work on the first BDUK funded cab starts at the end of this month.
In areas where fibre broadband cannot be provided, Fastershire will make use of other broadband technologies such as satellite and advanced copper. These areas and possible solutions will only become clear later in the project.
Does anyone know what "advanced copper" means?
I'm hoping it will be cheaper to upgrade our cabinet that subsidise satellite, but does anyone know what the BDUK subsidies are likely to be?
ADSL extenders or BET i.e. just about able to meet 2 Mbps standard
But with the Superfast Extension projects gearing up, spending on those with further spending for upgrades may mean people skip the extender stuff and just wait a little longer to get super fast (i.e. the 95% target projects)
