Re: Will I ever be able to receive FTTC?


[re: Rolandrat] [link to this post]
 
It's so frustrating isn't it. So many people in NN4 6HR that are willing to pay for an improved service (better than between 1-3MB) but no one appears to be able to do anything about it here until 2017. Even then, it's not a certainty that commercial funding will assist with the BT Open Reach rollout to update and connect up the remaining cabs.

No other option but to wait and hope..

I can remember emailing BT/OR years ago and they basically said it wasnt economically viable, but we dont come under the BDUK scheme, so I expect that we will be at the bottom of the list once BT have got all the cash they can get out of the council for the BDUK projects. I notice cab 98 on our exchange which is under BDUK scheme has only 40 houses on it according to the superfast northamptonshire website, a new cab for just 40 houses!
Seeing all these tiny villages being done really grinds, I have friends who live in Tiffield, a tiny village - they been on fibre for over 6 months now!

It's not just Villages, my cab has around 200 properties connected and Openreach are saying it's uneconomically viable. All the other larger cabinets in the area have been upgraded. I can get Virgin (but choose not too), so that's probably why Openreach are ignoring it. Maybe if there was competition from Openreach then less people would have virgin?

Current on Zen, getting around 5mb down - .8mb up
Exchange is Fibre enabled, Cab not economically viable to upgrade - though 'Under Review'
