It does not.

The OpenReach checker only gives 3 possible outcomes on an FTTP check.

No plans for FTTP.
FTTP Coming Soon.
FTTP is available to order.

FTTP coming soon simply means it's planned but not yet available to order.
It can be anywhere between just announced and zero work done all the way through to work is complete but waiting for audit.

It has no specific meaning regarding project managers or anything else.

Wrong! Not always! I seen FTTP Coming Soon then ten months later it changed to No plans for FTTP.

It up to project manager check not Openreach decision.

Who is this project manage making the decision if they are not part of Openreach?

Sounds like the all seeing, all powerful Oz

Project managers are simply people who invite others in the company to lots of meetings, send many emails, ask for lots of "updates" and produce tons of word documents and occasionally a power point. They always have a Ganntt chart available to show you they have a plan and are busy.

Project managers are admin. Bean counters and a couple of "influential people" decide what go's, everyone else just thinks they get a say.

Planned covers a wide area, it's down to the build which is co-ordinated when they get on-site - for a small amount of streets/areas it's found to be not feasible

Enough said.

In English please?

It means FTTP is planned. Full stop.

Nobody in this thread said it means it is coming 100%

Plans can and do change.

That can be because of subsidised funding running out, issues discovered during survey, issues discovered during the build, increased costs, mistakes made during the initial assessment or even the project manager cancelling it, if that makes you feel better.

The coming soon message is not anything to do with project bl**dy managers, even if they end up being the 1 who makes a decision to cancel plans.

It's a generic message, nothing more, nothing less.

Yawn

For what it is mine says FTTP not available and no plans, but Openreach have built the network in my village and I hope to be able to place an order in the coming weeks

Thats why you shouldn't get your hopes up

buckel

that because your premises is hard and cannot be done without significant cost - depending where you were live and whether it was a commercial or BDUK area - it would have been outside of the premises cap

notsure what the project manager comment in reference to
