I think you've mentioned that before, and no doubt I'll forget again.

Was over Herne Bay yesterday, saw a lot of new poles with fibre on Whitstable Road heading out of Herne Bay, the easy give away is bright yellow tags which are easy to see on the poles, they state Caution overhead fibre.

Yeah that was on the Kitz forum!

I think it’s full steam ahead for the fibre roll out now, what will we talk about when it’s fully completed huh?!

Was in New Forest a couple of weeks ago (on the western side, south of Fordingbridge), there is a surprising amount of FTTP rolled out already there, and coiled up fibre ready for further expansion. The place we stayed at in the middle of nowhere had FTTP available but not yet installed, so it’s good to see the real rural areas being rolled out to!

I wouldn’t want my neighbours in the village to get too excited like that.

All the poles from my place back to the ag node are so labelled, and some even have A4 ‘overhead telecom infrastructure’ planning-type notices still stapled to them.

Only my nearest neighbour is fortunate enough to be able to order native FTTP everyone else would still have to order FTTPoD like me. But I suppose I have made it cheaper potentially, somehow by dragging the infrastructure out over 35 poles already for my oD service

Yes you are quite correct, just because there is fibre doesn't mean it's an FTTP rollout as I noted earlier in the thread it could be for FTTPod/CFP related.

But as you also state the mere presence means a future full roll out 'should' be easier, cheaper and quicker one would hope.

Mind you looking on https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/broadband-map#... should give an idea if it's a rollout or FTTPod, depending on the scale of CFP it may cover more than one postcode so impossible to tell if it's that. If you look on the mapped linked to you can see quite a few single postcodes, some are new builds, whilst some are old properties and therefore likely FTTPod. Mind you most people won't have a clue about any of this
