Code powers reduces amount of planning permission needed, so possible without code powes but more expensive in terms of time and lawyers

I assume you mean http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/rural-broadband...

I suggest a little more humility in your answer when it applies to a community of 2 households. In Wales you can't get a straight answer out of OpenReach or Edwina Heart's office as to when FTT[CP] might become available and what is going to be required to get it. Of course if you could elighten us as to who the right people are, they are not mentioned on that link.

We fail the "Capable of generating the necessary funds." test for the link above to be relevant.

2 is really difficuly if there were a few moe that would be feasible - threre is a contact email address -- but it is around private funding

As I said before for JUST two people Ethernet service is way to go

Typical Ethernet monthly costs appear to be around £1000 per month, compared to £50 p.m. for FTTP. Since both would basically involve laying fibre to the premises, it's easy to work out why no-one is making private FTTP an easy option. Openreach, for example, will only do this on signing of an incredibly restrictive contract. It would be interesting to compare the all inclusive installation cost quotes for the two options. I have spoken to Openreach about the private fibre option, but the closed nature of the contract rules it out here (i.e. additional premises cannot be added once the contract is signed). Mind you, for 2 or more premises, I understand that "private fibre" is usually a better deal than "FTTP on demand".
