Access to the BT Wholesale parent-child mapping spreadsheet helped.

With columns for OLT type(s) in each would be helpful 🤣😎

Fibre in the centre of Camberley, with another large exchange maybe 300m away is fed from Farnborough

Huh, like the others I would have assumed the smaller building (Farnborough) would not be head end and the larger with offices (e.g. Aldershot) would remain. I do realise that commercial building costs don't necessarily make sense from the outside.

Sadly as I'm sure you are already aware offices in off shore locations are much cheaper to lease/rent.

Aldershot is a head end exchange.

Yes, unless you need humans whom are physically in the UK. For remote work, off shore is much cheaper.

Thanks.

When fttp was put in where I live (rural North Norfolk) the guys doi g the hardware installation told me that the positions of cbts etc were planned by a team in India using Google map images!! Don't know it it's true but it's possible!

Yes, it's planned off shore. They use Google images to show the locations rather than plan according to Google.

The headend for Aldershot is in Farnborough

That is most odd …. I’ll bow to your superior knowledge.

I’ve seen FTTP tasks in Aldershot show as Aldershot in the routing. An incorrectly lit splitter in Aldershot be rectified by resplicing in Aldershot exchange, must have been en route.

The clearest message, is it is impossible to make assumptions

Aldershot gets retired splicing crews are going to have fun bypassing the building.

Be well used to it by then I'm sure.
