Not sure if this is relevant.
We have FTTP, this was installed via a BDUK contract, the fibre follows the same ducts as the copper from the cabinet, it goes past 3/4 of the houses in village before the first house to get FTTP, all those houses it passes show FTTPoD as available, but then lower down it shows this.

FTTP is not available.

The exchange is not in a current fibre priority programme

Fibre Priority programme simply means the exchange being part of the fibre stop sell list.

Most exchanges have "some" FTTP but most of them aren't FTTP Priority exchanges (yet).

Probably worth noting for folk that out of the 5000+ exchange estate only around 800 or so will be FTTP/TC serving head end exchanges. The bulk of the rest being local copper only exchanges, that will close in the fullness of time

Hence it's worth talking about "exchange areas" rather than "exchanges".

I was confused by the checker saying 'FTTPoD available' then saying 'FTTP not available', I now realise the difference, but looking at Thumper's posts I see that in his case FTTPoD is not available, which would seem odd it the fibre passes his house in a similar way to it passing most of the houses in our village, and the more I think about it a BDUK contract would be my best guess, Thumper hasn't (that I've seen) posted the speeds he gets, if it's 'Superfast' then BDUK would go straight past without provision for them.

Maybe so. But then for absolute clarity you would need to say “fibre serving exchange areas”.

There could otherwise still be confusion with the exchange down the road so to speak, and its ‘exchange serving area’. Semantics perhaps 🤔 😅

When they list the tranches of individual FTTP stop sell exchanges do they list only the head-ends?
Must say I haven't looked at the list in all that much detail.

If they are only listing head-ends then that could cause some confusion.
Most people on a child exchange don't know what their parent (head-end) exchange is.
If they are listing each individual exchange then they have a very long way to go having only listed only around 130 exchanges last time I looked.

Edit: it's all the individual exchanges and not only the head-end exchanges. So when discussing FTTP stop sell/FTTP Priority exchanges then the serving head-end is somewhat irrelevant.

Which properties did you look at? All the ones I checked were showing FoD, as you’d expect if you had FTTC already.

I never checked any postcodes, I went off Thumper's post which said

Openreach appear to be hiding the presence of FTTP in this area, not even FTTPoD

Woodcote has CB8 8YW has FTTP available
The Haven has CB8 8YW has FTTP available
The Old Village Hall CB8 8YW has FTTP available
Holts Mansions CB8 8YW has FTTP available
Bridge House CB8 8YW has FTTP available
Church House CB8 8YW doesn't have FTTP available

These are the houses listed in order from the next postcode coming towards me.

I quick look and they seem to get good speeds on VDSL, so unlikely to be BDUK, so that blows away my theory.
