Thanks Matt, I'll give it a try smile

Current on Zen, getting around 5mb.
Exchange is Fibre enabled, street cab not economically viable to upgrade.
Could get V*rgin, but I'd rather not.

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.

On the Fastershire website it says
In reference to www.fastershire.com/faqs:
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?

Possibly ADSL range extenders at the PCP

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)

*Facepalm*

Not a reflection on you, Mr Ribble.

It's 'BT speak' for the WBC up to 20Mbps service. It's mentioned in the 3rd paragraph of this.

I'm on Cheltenham 151 too but can't get Virgin either.

I'm going round in circles trying to find out why it was deemed unviable and how to get them to reevaluate.

I'm going to see the local MP about the issue to try and get his help.
