if its a new build built after 2012 or so its 99% certain it will not have been in the commercial programme (too late) and probably not in BDUk (no post code on not in interention area when that was determined ) who is the developer -- is thera a green cooper cabinet at entrace to developement -- if so then pretty likley developer only asked for voice -- so prob need ot try and get the devloper to fund -- or probably not anytime in the short to medium future

It's Being upgraded as "Area11" in Fastershire program

Not Area51?

No

Fred,

Perhaps the clue passed you by...

Fastershire is for Herefordshire (and Gloucestershire).
The OP is in Hertfordshire.

You're looking about 100 miles too far west. One more county, and you'd be looking in the wrong country.

I was able to get int ocontact with Openreach in regards to this. Although the reply was negative, its given me some closure at least.

here is the reply.

Dear <blank>,



Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

According to the address you have provided <blank> Groundsel Walk - Hemel Hempstead - Hertfordshire - HP24GW.

You are connected to HEMEL HEMPSTEAD Exchange, Cabinet 99.

I am really sorry, but having investigated our network data, we are not currently able to supply you with a fibre broadband service from our existing network. I appreciate this is disappointing news.

We are continuing to build our network to many more areas all the time and we believe this is the fastest roll- out of this type anywhere in the world. We are also working in conjunction with the Government (BDUK) who like us have an ambition to reach as many residents in the UK as possible in the coming few years.

We appreciate this is of little comfort if you cannot access the superfast fibre network yourself.

Unfortunately your property is not currently included in the network roll-out because after our initial survey, it was established that this cabinet would not be viable for Openreach to upgrade.

However, this is not necessarily the final position. Plans do change as our network grows and it�s worth keeping an eye on our website (http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/) where we publish the very latest fibre coverage information. For further information regarding Government initiatives within your area please visit http://superfast-openreach.co.uk/rural-broadband/ which covers all areas and not just rural.

Another possible option is to think about getting together with neighbours or a local community group and raising the money to help build the network yourself. We do have options for privately funded fibre cabinets in some places. We cannot always guarantee this will be feasible in all cases, but we would be willing to look at it if this is an option that you would like to pursue. If you would like to contact the team, please email [email protected].

Thank you again for taking the time to write to us and although we appreciate this is not the answer you are looking for, we hope it can help you understand that we have a real commitment to delivering superfast broadband to the people and businesses of Britain. We are sorry that we have not yet been able to provide you with this service and we really do hope that this position will change in the future.


Yours sincerely,

Alka

Fibre Enquiries team
