In reply to a post by Dash:

I might go and gamble the money then.

There is a new estate which has had a cabinet installed at the end of the street, but it owned by OFNL which provides "Open Access" fibre, none of the usual bunch of ISPs are available on it.

I can't find any way of getting privately connected to this network.

You won't, because OFNL only deploy their fibre to properties en-masse & usually on new build sites. At present your only options for a single/lone install is Openreach FoD or leased line fibre. The latter doesn't have to be Openreach fibre, as other major operators such as SSE, TalkTalk, Vodafone and Virgin will happily quote you for leased fibre.

A leased line is a business grade service, but is likely to cost you £250-£500 per month for as long as you have it. It is impossible to change it to FTTP.

So if you have a low end FTTPoD quote, it will work out cheaper than a leased line within a couple of years, and save you a lot of money after that. In the medium term, it may also make your property more attractive to buyers, until native FTTP gets rolled out.

Yeah I'm aware of leased lines often costing more in the long term (though you do get better SLAs), I was just pointing out that it was an option to Dash for a lone install.
