The village down the road from me has just gone live (CT3 1JB) - 2Mbit ADSL to 1000Mbit FTTP!

Cabling was started around July. So around 3 months from cabling to availability.

Another area close to me had fibre cabling hanging from poles around March 2019, it looks like final cabling work has been completed so this should go live soon.

When the engineers focus on an area, they appear to be able to get things completed pretty quickly.

Interesting in terms of difference in constructions times. That said the latter one in your example is more likely to have been spline cabling works issue or something else unknown to the average person looking at the works. Mine is complicated by being in the New forest.

You can sign up on open reach website for updates. I asked our local BDUK for info as our VDSL was 10Mbps down & 0.2Mbps up & was utterly useless & they got back to me almost immediately with info about FTTP coming by March.

Well the BDUK lot were really good about fttc way back & were spot on with dates, ordering went live Christmas day 2015 it was like they waited to give it to me for Christmas lol.

Judging by the number of BT roadworks on the website they are looking at doing a lot of work over half term so fingers crossed, I shall go ply them with hot drinks when they're near my house.

I hope they sort yours out soon that's just awful.

Thanks. The work they have planned looks immense on roadworks it's road closures iced the entire village it looks amazing & for once I shall not moan about road closures

Had to give up on BT here even fttc we got 10Mbps down & the 0.2Mbps up killed it & given BT expect same money as those getting 80Mbps I was like errrr nah.

Liking sound of the speed with 2 xboxes, Netflix, phones, tablets wife & 2 kids (one teen one near teen) need the speed.

Get about 100Mbps from EE now but it's expensive & capped data

Thanks for the info

How do you know hat the area had been surveyed and when the survey was complete.

I knew because gf was leaving house and the bloke doing the survey was leaning on our bin, so she asked him what he was doing.
