FTTP soon?

Hi,

The block of flats where I live has exchange only lines, so we have been unable to get any sort of fibre connection so far. But I happened to check the Openreach website today and I was pleasantly surprised to see it say: "Good news - we�ll be upgrading your area to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) soon" (screenshot: https://ibb.co/J36dD3r). My question now is how soon is soon? Does anyone have insight on that?

Thanks.

I've been looking at this for a year already.

Which exchange?

Which exchange?

ARTHINGTON

Postcode LS21 2LL

Anywhere from a few months to over a year.

Also depends if it's part of the Fibre First commercial rollout or publicly funded work.

What exchange is it?

Tulse Hill (LSTUL)

In your case this is rural so part of the North Yorks BDUK process which keeps adding bits of FTTP so probably a case of a wait

Time scale of other poster stands, not on the announced list of Fibre First exchanges, but there is building going on in some urban exchanges that are not part of the Fibre First programme.

You forgot to add that they will start work and leave cables around for a year plus - not that i'm not blaming anyone at OR just saying what i've seen and yet other areas have had a complete fttp install within weeks. So it can vary.

On my estate i have recently moved into also showing similar to above

The annoying thing is half the estate which was all built at the same time 2 years ago has FTTP
