The property right next to DP22 is able to get FTTP according to the checker. The question remains, who are the other three ports on DP22 for?

A 4 port CBT is the smallest there is so the other 3 ports aren't necessarily for anyone.

Edit: can any other houses that surround point A on the map order FTTP?
If the property next to DP22 is the only 1 in your image that can order FTTP then it simply looks the network hasn't been built to you yet.

Fair enough.

The property right next to DP22 is the only property which would be logically served by DP22 which can order FTTP - other nearby properties are closer to DP21. I am the only other property within 350m of DP22.

So does anyone have any further thoughts? Dry my eyes and continue with copper?

I have been advised elsewhere to try speaking to Zen, which I will when I get a clear half hour

Re 4 port CBT, I seem to have been given my own 4 port CBT in the manhole that my copper is fed underground to my house.

What is your post code. ?

Are you on ADSL2 ?.

Do you work from home ?.

Have you spoken to the land owner to try and find out if Openreach have been in contact? Can the land owner presuming they are local get FTTP?

You said in an earlier post that you thought 'Digital Scotland' may have funded the fibre upgrade (e.g. to the CBT on DP22), have you used their address checker to see what they say about yours and neighbouring addresses?

Find out for sure which dp you are on, and forget dp60 or dp40000. Find out if that dp has premises connected to do that dp. You will not be able to hope and jump DPs especially for fttp.

He doesn't live that close actually, and he doesn't even have a mobile phone, not interested in FTTP it is safe to say!

Are you stalking me? PM not received, thankfully I think!

I think Mr Saffron suggested that and having dug a bit I am sure he's right. I have now applied for a £5k broadband voucher in lieu of superfast broadband (but have indicated that if someone could just run a 300m fibre down my drive it could be done a lot cheaper!). Thanks for the pointer!

Do you have any advice on how to categorically determine this?

Not sure what you mean by DP40000.

Sorry I don't know what you mean?

Do you know why that is?

Thanks.
