FTTP vs FTTPoD

Hello all, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Some of you might have seen my old post but if not, to sum it up I could only get FTTPoD and a desktop quote was not able to be given so I gave up.

There is a brief description here however if you want to skip this just scroll past it to get to the point.

While going on a run around the tarn, about 200 meters (ish) from my home I noticed my neighbour had newer poles installed and on those poles their was a thick twisted wire going into the home (it was not electricity) I was not able to find a Fibre Manifold or what would normally be found as I didn't want to stare at them during their dinner.
I ended up asking Cerberus if their address could get FTTP and they confirmed their address was FTTP enabled but could also get FTTPoD? Whereas my address was FTTPoD only (screen shots here: https://imgur.com/a/VwYezX7 ) I did the BTW ADSL checker and both our addresses showed FTTPoD so I don't know if this means Cerberus shows FTTP because they have paid for a FTTPoD service or if BT installed FTTP for them because they cannot get an FTTC connection.


Would my FTTPoD be brought from their area where they can get FTTP or would I get a fresh new line from the Aggregation Node?


Thanks for reading,

Martyn



I didn't know if I should have made a new post for this or put it on the old post so I took a gamble (sorry if it was the wrong decision).

Need to know the address so can check what Cerberus are saying, since having WBC FTTP available and FTTP on Demand also available is a odd combination

Private message the address

Note As the FTTP roll-outs in the BDUK projects increase there is an increasing number of premises that are close to WBC FTTP but not enabled, i.e. the problem of not having a bottomless pot of cash in the BDUK projects

PM sent!

Got your PM

I think Arjun Solanki has been telling you porkies. Your neighbour only has FTTPoD available. If he had FTTPoD already installed or native FTTP available to order, the checker would show 'WBC FTTP'

What would these new lines be then? Possibly just FTTPoD?

Overhead fibre does NOT �look like thick twisted wire�.

Ah I see.

In reply to a post by baby_frogmella:

Got your PM

Hmmm.

I got one timed 20:54 but only came to the forums just before 22:00 and saw it, and that he'd already started the thread .

In case people don't remember this thread I thought I would point it out.

There's also this abortive one from the end of October 2017.

Yeah FTTP on Demand at both addresses

Yes. But I was a little irritated by a PM involving a necessary reply or two resulting from the previous thread where several of us had put in considerable effort to help, then a new one an hour before this thread was started. Plus seeing in this one that he had also PM'ed baby-frogmella. Presumably before starting the thread.

On seeing the PM in this case I went naturally to look at the detail, and immediately found that an hour had been too long for him to wait for a reply . He's started this thread.

PMs of a technical kind by their nature demand a reply. But if an hour is too long to wait then they should not be made.

The Subject is not urgent!
