In reply to a post by Pheasant:

Completely unrelated to this thread and the OP (sorry for the tangent) - this made me think of all the dark fibre thats was laid pre-millennium around canals and waterways owned by British Waterways - a surprising number of trunk routes are under those towpaths.

Carry on

how much of it is re-usable now?.. Common sense would say to do so but corporate culture is more "even though its there lets lay our own"

Under various different ownerships etc. over the past 20+ years, but I believe a lot of it is still very much in use.

Charlie Boisseau did a good summary presentation at one of the UKNOF meetings a few years ago. Think it’s on YouTube…

You won't a CBT anywhere near there. Nothing within about 400 metres

Ah, the poster I was hoping would reply has arrived. Any insight into how this address has been served, or has the database jumped ahead of reality?

I don't see how it can be served at present

Interesting. I guess we wait and see then.

To provide some closure to this thread, I pushed Openreach a bit until they escalated back to an infrastructure team in the UK who have confirmed that their database is incorrect and the Old Lock House premise is not served by FTTP, and any order placed would fail.

Perhaps unsurprisingly this runs counter to what the local authority believe to be the case, but they seem to frequently forget how to use email so I'm inclined to believe Openreach.
