Doesn't make much sense to me, Openreach are building it but have no access to the USO project information. Do you really believe that?. Why is a USO project such a closely guarded secret?

Is sounds of though as BT is contracting Openreach as part its USO obligations, only BT and not Openreach can divulge details to 3rd parties like me due to the nature of the contract. BT can choose to get the details from Openreach and share this, but the issue is whether they will be bothered to do so.

I agree it makes no real sense, but this is often the case. I suspect that BT and Openreach have to show they have an arms length relationship now that they are separate entities.

Can you confirm the whole village is covered

I don't see it wouldn't be.

Thanks

Witchunt, many thanks for looking at this and for your valued input.

See Witchunt post of 15.41.This is likely to be your clearest indication that you will be covered. So it is likely that you will be served off one of the CBT nodes on a different pole. As these can handle up to 12 connections not every pole will have one fitted.

Find the DP your copper comes from this will be where your FTTP is likely to come from using the same routing as the copper. ( There is a small chance that it will come from a different direction around 1%). You will find a DP number on the Label, the poles outside yours may have the same number followed by a suffix.

kitcat - many thanks. At the moment our copper connection is on the pole directly over the road from our house. This is the one with the Fibre Node, but no CBT.

By the sounds of it, there is a good chance that we will get FTTP either from the pole 5 along with a CBT or from our pole if they add a CBT to the existing Fibre Node. I must confess I don't know whether technically it is as simple as adding a CBT to the node or whether there is a lot more to it.

Thanks Witchunt for releasing that info.Hopefully WFH1 will be fibred up in 2022

I realise the copper comes via the pole but this is unlikely to be the DP ( Distribution point), But just a subsidiary pole. DPs will have a tag on them with a number that is unique to the exchange. The CBTs are only likely to go on the DPs.

If the one you refer to as Pole 5 as the number 5 on it that is DP 5.

Does your pole have a DP number on it?

Cavalry’s arrived. Let’s hope the OP get’s sorted. What a mess!

Kitcat, many thanks for helping me understand the set up. That makes sense. I will have a look at the poles tomorrow and give an update
