The Post Office should not be wrong, they are the postcode master database, so if that is not tallying with your actual road, then chase whoever gave you that postcode, and show them what the Post Office is showing.

This will potentially affect many things like insurance costs, credit ratings and much more which key off the postcode

Also if you type the postcode in here https://www.plus.net/ without a phone line the full address comes up for willow meadow . same with the bt site . so it looks this is 110% the correct postcode?

If your property is in Willow Meadow then yes would seem the correct postcode, tres confused on which actual road you are actually in.

The point that the Post Office is the master list and thus will take time for a new postcode to filter through still applies. Advice is to get a telephone line installed and running and then once the phone number has filtered through the Openreach systems it should adjust your broadband ordering choices.

since emailing openreach yesterday the where and when website has changed it now says the following .

Exploring solutions

These exchange areas still need to go through a period of detailed survey work which will enable Openreach to plan the network. Once this has been completed the exchange area will show more detail for the delivery of faster broadband.

Best to stick to https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html

The openreach site can give mixed messages as things seem to shift around a lot more for no apparent reason on the openreach site.

well its now over 4 weeks since i put in for my phone line to be moved to my new address .
last 2 weeks ago i had a email and txt saying some 1 was comming to plum me in but they didnt turn up . then a week after some 1 turned up knocked on door and said hes here to put my phoneline in but then said it looks like nun of the cableing has been fitted in the drains.
he opened a drain and was right empty. 4 days later 2 blokes turned up and wired all the drains and to each new build along my road. 1 and a half days for 13 homes.

After speaking with bt they said a open reach worker will be out tuesday to check and it will be signed off if all is good on the 24th . He turned up at 9am but tryed to open a drain cover but failed even with that metal thing they use then he went.
had a call from bt they have gave me £30 off my bill due to having to top up my phone for emails ect (im on three £15 a month all you can eat ) they are also letting me have bt infinity 2 80/20 for 12 months for 17.99 then phone line.

thoses who i sent my addreess to and post code its now showing 80/20
