Interesting, however, the question has to be, are those figures/percentages correct?

In reply to a post by witchunt:
Maybe they include availability of FOD in their FTTP/ultrafast figures?


They don't otherwise my postcode would be at 100% instead of 26.7%

This data is just wrong - W1U 1BT only has ADSL - cabinet P40 is not FTTC enabled but data shows 100% SFBB?

https://www.telecom-tariffs.co.uk/codelook.htm?xid=1...

I notice they are including Relish as a data source - does this mean they claim all of central London has super fast broadband because you can use a 4G modem - I tried Relish last year and you don't get superfast speeds.

Cabinet is split across EO and cabinet 40

Suspect they are counting the Relish, as it has coverage but we don't tick superfast for the London deployment due to lack of external aerial

I have now written to OFCOM.

I also took the liberty of including brookheather's data regarding W1U 1BT and the possibility that Relish are claiming an ability to deliver speeds in some areas in excess of those attainable by potential users.

If I get a reply other than a simple acknowledgement I'll post details here.

Could you share the postcode?

And do the figure align with your local knowledge?

It's quite clear that OFCOM have no interest in feedback. I wrote on the 2nd October and OFCOM haven't had the courtesy to respond. Not that, in truth, I expected any different from this self-serving quango.

Update.

OFCOM have today 25 Oct replied to my post to them of 2 Oct.

"Good afternoon x,

Thank you for raising your points as your observations are valuable for us to be able to follow up on the data that has been made available to us.

I will forward to our team for further investigation.

Yours sincerely,"

I notice on the Relish product details page they now only claim "Average speed 20Mbps" so don't believe this qualifies as super fast?
