private funded FTTP in the middle of nowhere with some no duct thrown in and extensive civils always going to expensive and in the 1,000 of pounds per premise - so you estimate which is 70 for 20 premises is circa 2.5 - 3ok per premise

...per premises.

Fixed that for you

_{Edit: Uuhhh. Sorry. Wrong community. I was writing about Fell End, not the other one.}

It looks more like it was an RCBF project to me. RCBF was a pretty ill-fated fund for rural community broadband, and ran in parallel with, but separate from, BDUK projects.

One reason it was ill-fated was down to over-building and state-aid rules. It existed while BDUK was in its early stages, and BT didn't really have a clue where they were going to go with BDUK money, making it almost impossible to mark a whole community as eligible for RCBF funds instead.

You would think/hope that if such a project ran today, it would run within the CFP envelope, but some of the community's side of the funding came from the fund.

It isn't obvious to me why an RCBF project could be partial self-build, and a CFP project cannot be. However, I can see that BT will have quality requirements that mean @MikeJG's hopes are on the optimistic side.

it could only run as a CFP today -and there may be elements that a community can self dig (assuming its consistent with Openreach Policy and can be accessed in same way as rest of network and is built to the same standards but the contract would be between community and Openreach and all the network needs to come under BT Estate at the end of as Or will be responsible for it going forward

Here's another community project...

This one seems to have logged almost every step they went through.
