Fibre Headend Exchange

Could anyone tell me how I can find out where the Fibre Headend Exchange for my FTTP is please

I expect the forum will need at least a postcode for the address

If you already have FTTP the Wholesale checker may show the head end exchange rather than the local one, if certainly does for new builds. Otherwise see if there are any new builds near you and see where they are served from. It works best on smaller exchanges. On Big suburban ones different areas may be served from different head ends but this is fairly unusual.

Sorry Post Code is LL141YF

Checker just shows
Address on Exchange RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG is served by Cabinet 4

New Build, installed in May 2022

No idea if this postcode is close to the one you quote
random address with a postcode of LL20 8HG with OR FTTP availability
shows on Exchange LLANGOLLEN is served by Cabinet 6
So headend /OLT presumably is LLANGOLLEN
Why is it important to you ?

Difficult one to know, I cannot find any FTTP only which would tell us and Rhos-l is big enough to be a head end, but it is likely to be Wrexham itself.

If you do a speed test Andrew should spot it and get the maps up to date as he is missing your post code and surrounding ones off his map. ( Hopefully you are above an 80Mb package).

Wrexham looks like the obvious candidate.

I just checked the ‘new build/new subdivision’ wholesale checker lookup on an estate 5 miles away (but still same out-code) and that returned the same headend exchange I’m on.

Yes on 100Mbs
That is the max I can get
Next street on 1000Mbs but have had FTTP for quite a while

Openreach engineer told me he did not think it was in Rhos and probably Wrexham
