Having a look around on t'internet and am now overloaded with 'facts', it would seem that 8YW possibly meets the criteria to apply for funds from 'Project Gigabit', got this via links from 'Better Broadband for Suffolk' website, that's enough digging for me tonight.

When they list the tranches of individual FTTP stop sell exchanges do they list only the head-ends?

No, it's local exchange areas.

So when discussing FTTP Priority exchanges (the ADSL/FTTC stop sell) there's not much point talking about the wider exchange area.

It's the Ultrafast coverage on the local exchange that will matter and the status of the head-end should be somewhat irrelevant.

I would love to know how they pick the FTTP Priority exchanges as I know a couple small rural exchanges with almost blanket FTTP coverage (definitely over 75%) that aren't on any of the exchange tranches listed so far.

Equally, there are some exchange areas which had less than 1% FTTP coverage when they were added to the stop-sell list, with the stop-sell date less than 1 year in the future - e.g. Burnley.
