OR release a list of the Fibre First exchanges every 3 months

Which web page is this link on? I'm trying to find it so when the update happens I can download the pdf.

I think the link was originally published on the fibre-first page, but AFAICS it isn't any more (only the rural one). The link here is broken too. I think we'll just have to wait for the news sites to pick up the next update.

If you can drill the whole yourself then you can just connect the ONT when the installer pushs the cable through. I know a few have done this

It now seems to be here, right at the bottom.

Connector will mean usually needs to be pushed from inside the house to the outside now.

Your address is part of our Ultrafast fibre rollout programme.

Where did you find that out from? I'm in Glasgow Halfway which is being "currently building in" and I've seen signs of that nearby. But not up my road Langside is only due soon.

The problem now is you cant place an order, I was lucky, I ordered FTTP within hours of it going live on Openreach website on 14th March, my install was yesterday (3rd April) and I was fortunate I had a lovely lady engineer who was originally just phoning me to say she couldnt do it but I asked if I did the hole etc would she still do the outside bit and she agreed.
My next door neighbor who ordered one day later than me had his order cancelled and no amount of begging got them to change that, he now has the cable rolled up at his front door for god knows how long now.

I signed up for Fibre First updates and an email came through straight away saying that.

You can still order FTTP.
It will simply be delayed (possibly till June) if a home visit is required.

Individual ISP's may handle this differently but it can definitely still be ordered.
I helped place an FTTP order yesterday.

Did your neighbor have the order cancelled, or just the installation cancelled/postponed?

I'm certainly not aware of OpenReach cancelling orders.

I was in the process of setting up a community fibre project, collecting neighbours addresses and openreach out of the blue emailed me a couple of days ago to say I didn't need to as my address is in their rollout plans now. I was a little skeptical so I signed up to fibre updates (I thought I already had) and got the email straight away too saying the same.
