Re: Advice required re: VDSL in Poundbury...


[re: watsonm] [link to this post]
 
I live near there. There are a few homes in Poundbury which are connected to a fiber network which is only used to provide satellite and TV signals. The fiber optic cable carrying TV and satellite signals connects to a FibreIRS device (see here and here). I'm sure there are other houses which have FTTP internet as well, but it may be worth double checking, if you've only had a quick look at the property.

Thanks David. I'll take a better look next time (when I can escape the windows and curtains pitch!)

Did a BT line checker on the post code today.

https://ibb.co/Wgdjhvm

Does the "other Offerings" line saying VDSL Multicast "available" imply I might get VDSL ....?

As a retired couple on a pension we don't really need or want to pay for 330 Mbps download . I know I can pay for lower speeds but I am still trying to preserve my Plusnet Referrals!! smile

If the answer is in the positive do I need to push Plusnet into providing VDSL or will they just look at the FTTP line and say "No we can't suppply"

Thanks Mike

No to the VDSL2 but it does mean multicast used for things like BT Sport live will work.

You don't have to pay for the 330 Mbps service

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/packages/fttp-broadband shows the services available, and they start at £28.99 per month.

Problem is that PlusNet don't sell the FTTP, there was a time when if you left PlusNet you could retain your referrals - need to check with someone who follows that detail or ask Plusnet

I left PN back in April and used to earn £5 a month from referrals. Although I can still login it tells me my account is closed and I can't access much. I'm sure at the time I was told I would lose my referrals.
