The existing copper pairs go from that very pole up to me and the other properties near me that will not receive fibre. The coppers also continue down the lane that you see to properties that will receive fibre high speed.

The copper and fibre route from that post is the same. The route that the fibre will take from the exchange to the post in the picture is side of road and I believe the copper is nearly the same.

If effect BT will have both fibre and copper running side by side to homes about 3,000 metres away. All these homes I believe had EO lines up until 3 months ago.

I see that you an not be as far up the road as I thought as those further up are on cab 2. The joint user poles will be an issue as I I believe there are restrictions attaching new cable to them.

Have you deduced where this is?

I know where it is. The splitter itself is serving more dwellings than you have stated in your 1st post.

Thanks Ribble. I got in my car drove around and with the use of google maps counted with my pencil on my monitor. How many, do you know?

Do you think that splitter/DP has capacity to supply us 600 metres away?

Anything technically is possible, the issue is what is the cost and benefit to the project, i.e. diverting from the plan can cause delays and extra costs.

If you want to influence things then a wad of cash might help

It's not beyond the capacity of the splitter node, but 600m is beyond the design limit Openreach apply between the manifold and end user premises, so another Fdp and manifold be necessary if they could get the cable up the road.

I have paid a wad of cash. I believe it's called tax or something.

On which basis everyone should be demanding FTTP, what makes your case special compared to many other 1000's in the Sussex area?

Not having a go, but this is the reality, i.e. projects have a fixed some of money and while some in areas are lucky and get FTTP others get nothing or get FTTC. This is the result of funding something without a desire or funding level to reach 100% coverage no matter what.

I'd love FTTC but there's no cabinet near by. I do get your point and I was just saying in the jest.
