It's all being put in as the development is being built, and there won't be any copper going down at all, so if they don't keep up with the houses going up then no-one will have any internet or phone at all!

Plusnet seems to have some good half price deals at the moment, so I'll see which have better deals out of them and BT once I'm looking at moving in.

Thanks all for the replies.

I don't believe Plusnet will be able to offer an FVA voice service over FTTP.

It's not a property on one of those new estates in Wokingham is it perchance ?

So from that logic... ISP's that take part in FTTP will automatically install FTTP if available for a service that might originally be designed for FTTC.

There are no areas that have both FTTP and FTTC (short of where FTTP on demand has been put in).

FTTP is available in the FTTC speed grades, if you order Infinity 1 in an FTTP area, you will get FTTP at 40/10.

Nit picking I know, but there are exchange areas that have both, I think the correct statement would be .....
'If you have FTTC to your cabinet, you won't be getting FTTP'.

Also Andrew seems to think differently.

While until a few months ago everyone was correct, as Surrey started to deploy limited amounts of FTTP to areas that otherwise had slow FTTC this rule has changed. Have forgotten which cab/sub area this was but can point people to an area in Scotland

Address 109 OAKHILL GRANGE, ABERDEEN, AB15 5EA on Exchange ABERDEEN WEST is served by Cabinet 12

Which seems to have decent FTTC and FTTP in WBC format rather than FOD

OK cheers that answered that question!

Have a look at the two new estates in Wokingham off the London Rd, all being fitted with FTTP/ONTE/BBU etc before they are even moved in to. No copper at all.

You get what you pay for!

You said it yourself!

I know of very few other ISP's that do supply Native FTTP but I can assure you their prices will make you eyes water, specially if you think BT's are unreasonably expensive.

IDNet is doing FTTP

Depending on usage not utterly insane...

Ah but your wrong there, take a look at that address on the DSL Checker: DSL CheckerFTTP+FTTC you can have both, but it depends on the situation and what its being used for
