Understood... There is a closer fiber cab so may only be 400m or so, although it would of course depend on routing options but I would pay circa £1500 to get an FTTP connection.

Sure it's expensive ... But I can imagine getting really frustrated getting circa 20% of the speeds I get today. Looking into 4G solutions also.. But would prefer the fixed line option.

Are you sure the nearer one is FTTC, not Virgin Media? It's odd you should be on a more distant PCP.

Even at 400m £1500 doesn't look sufficient. Don't forget the distance-related prices need the fixed charge of £750 added.

If you can reclaim the Vat then there is only the ISP's profit margin to add otherwise. Else of course all +20%.

There are 3 FTTC Cabs in the local area. Cab 7 / 5 and 11

This estate is served by Cab 7
I will be right on a Boundary of Kempston and Cab 5 / 11 whilst closer as the Crow flies I am guessing due to history have served other areas.. The estate is in an infill site although I am surprised BT didn't put in a new PCP as there are a good few hundred homes on the site... must have still been spare capacity on the old one I suppose.

No VM on the new estate.. which is a shame.

I guess I am just hoping for an aggregation node a little closer..
I know the Fibre routing for Can 11 goes past the Estate (From speaking to local Engineer one day) about 200m away but no idea where the node is, didn't get chance to ask at the time... but.. I'll have to wait and see how good/bad it is when I move in. As its for business use offsetting against tax could still make it feasible.. but would be good to see what OR are planning... (or not.)

Believe that this premium option will be different to FoD, since by the time g.fast makes it to nodes rather than cabinets a lot more of the FTTH infrastructure is already in place

AIUI then you stand a chance of a closer aggregation point .
