Had this debate elsewhere and some people insist provider goes guarantee, though as far as I tell guarantee means you are free to walk. Not that they will move heaven and earth to get you that connection or throughput speed.

On the original poster, need to know a postcode to take a look and see if this is a checker error. Given you seem to know its a mile to the cabinet then sounds like this is the case.

that because speed is measured at the DP -- there is a drop to the premise -- most dps are normally 50 metres at max -- yours is around 1.4km which is why the checker tells you 80mm/bps but you only get 8 - and is consistent from when the farm needed to contact the exchange they provided a long DP back to the cabinet

The DP in this case at next to the Cab but the premise is 1.4km from the DP

So you're saying the guaranteed speed is incorrect because Openreach have failed to take into account an extra 1.4Km of copper wire? That is ludicrous.

What is wrong with these Openreach people to lead them into making such a fundamental error? Do any of them have any engineering qualifications at all between them, or are they simply the blind leading the blind?

No wonder Ofcom is trying to force them to split away from BT as they are currently bumbling around trying to follow procedures that they have no hope of understanding.

How can this current problem be resolved? Should a new cabinet be installed closer to the premises in question or should a proper fast internet connection using FTTP be installed?

Speed is determined at DP that's a Fact
no speed it determined at premise

that a problem with farms and other rural long drop premises and its doing to be a problem for gigaclear as well as you have at 1500m / or 1800 meet drop from the kerb which is rural you might have fibre to the kerb wont help

as the cost of getting to you premise are going to be astornical

you really have no idea of the network complexity in any shape for Form

You clearly have no idea of what the word premise means either.

However I don't need to understand network complexity, what ever that is, as that appears to be the job of Openreach.

I'm just in the amusing position of standing on the sidelines watching Openreach career from disaster to disaster, most of which seem to be of their own making.

You on the other hand should have a vested interest in comprehending the written word in order to be understood when you make posts. It doesn't do your credibility any good to be coming across as illiterate.

As I said earlier need to know the postcode and which premise, before everyone starts trying to score points against each other in the Broadband Hunger Games

Its a single property that looks to have long dp which is next to the cab -- its a typlcal set up for a farm -- they would normally have been Exchange only but where that distance to to long or not easty to resolve -- you then put the dp next to the cab and have a long drop to the premise -- the infrastructure was built to enable the farmer to get a call to the exchange

A building is "premises". "Premise" is not the singular, not one building. Though "premise" does have a plural - premises, which is nothing to do with buildings.
