We have a strange situation, I was told by gf of a contractor surveying for laying fibre down our road, whilst away some work was done, saw OR engineer working on our chamber and he stated that ducting had been laid and as far as he knew sometime soon fibre would come.
But, local BDUK officer says BT knows of no fibre work in area

In reply to a post by partial:

I think you are both right. There's a fibre joint behind the copper one if you look very closely.

Am looking on a phone .... my excuse and I�m sticking to it

But it IS copper in that 31 innit

But the ducting may not be for the kind of fibre you are hoping for.

Thanks all for your responses, I will take my time to read them and try to understand. From my understanding the domed capsule on the left of the pole existed before the fibre cabling was installed and it is the black cable with a yellow stripe that is new. From what the engineers told me they are hybrid cables - with both a fibre and copper core in them.

Our post code is PL30 5AY, as I said we're part way between a town and a village and have asked around and no-one has asked for an FTTPoD install there are only a handful of properties within the postcode and I've traced the overhead cables as far as I can go.

If anyone has any additional information, I'd be very grateful.

many thanks
Matt

PL30 5BB and some others in area have FTTP i.e. those with very slow FTTC speed estimates. Fits in with the pattern in other parts of Cornwall too

Who knows? Could be FTTPoD to the company at end of road, but BT told BDUK officer there had been no work done.

If there's a company at the end of the road, then the fibre could be for a leased line (which is nothing to do with FTTP)

I can predict FTTP being provided around Newton, Beech Tree cottages, Challacott barn and Tremabyn

I just used the dsl checker with the address option, and barring a couple of addresses that are coming up with an erorr(duplicate entries) its showing wbc fttp ?

@jaffakke http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/ADSLChecker.Addres... can you try that link and select your property?

Hi,

I have tried selecting my property on the link and get the message:

Your address has been successfully matched; however we cannot determine ADSL availability at this address. Please try the Telephone Number or Postcode Checker.

I have checked the nearest property and get information on FTTPoD being available (but I can imagine at great cost based on the other thread on that on here) and there is a note under the table saying FTTP is not available.

We get around 10mbps down currently.

I'm beginning to wonder if the surveyor and engineers were pulling our legs when they told us what the fibre cables were for!?!
