If you’re seeing multiple blue ropes in the area at the base of poles then chances are this is the FTTP build.

My Boss just had a leased line put in - for over a month they have blue rope going through where the cable went - so that's a good sign no?

Not if you are waiting for FTTP. The leased line and FTTP networks are completely separate; someone in your area getting a leased line does not increase your chances of getting FTTP.

I never said it did. I said that if there is blue rope then there is a good chance they are waiting to put fibre through as they have already done some of the civil work - In his case it's because the CBT was not ready.

Candlerb’s point is that ‘blue rope’ isn’t a clear sign of FTTP … it is equally used for copper too.

It's just a rope in a pipe, it doesn't help to read into it too much. If someone puts a new rope in a duct then all you can deduce is that they are planning on pulling something through there in the future.
