LOL.


Ok, I had a look at some broadband switch sites just to be nosy and see what is available, some only show FTTC connections, while others do show FTTP and FTTC. I would have thought they would all show FTTP connections

I also notice Talk Talk, show only FTTC for my area, not that I would ever go with Talk Talk, but just nosy.

Just being nosy at what is available, Now broadband seems to be the best for what I want at a decent price at the moment, but that could change in 7 months.

The topic is headed "so it starts". When is it going to finish?

Totally agree but you know what its like over Xmas and New Year, [censored] all on the TV so will watch any old [censored], well this is the same.

I do wish it would finish, I don't think I have ever seen such a load of repetitive, regurgitated rubbish, not just on TBB but also other forums ( or is it fora?)

Why do so many people keep this thread going by posting that they want it to end?

I did ask a genuine question, but people seem intent on carrying on with why the thread is still going.

I will ask it again, why is it that some providers and broadband switching sites still don't offer FTTp for this area? I don't mean Now broadband as they don't do fibre, but others that do.

Also, something else i thought about, the CBT on the poles, what happens if they run out of ports on it or have they put one on that will serve all people from that pole and since we have Openreach and zzoomm from that same pole is there two CBT on the pole one for each provider? There certainly seems to me than one thing on the top of the pole.

These are genuine questions, while I may not be interested in getting fibre at the moment, I do find the technology amazing, all that data going down one tiny glass tube.

And all your genuine questions have already been answered elsewhere on this Forum. You can probably find the answers if you use the Search facility.

I doubt those two have, but fine, I will do a duck duck go search online, it doesn't bother me.

Why use duck duck go when the Forum has its own dedicated search facility? That is where the exact questions you put have already been answered many times.

As for comparison sites, I tend to find they take some time to update when a new provider or offering becomes available. Also comparison sites don't really do an specific property availablity check so they won't know about any providers product restrictions or product priorities for the said property.

As for some providers not yet showing full fibre product offerings to you, this depends on whether that provider is signed up to provide such broadband products over the infrastructure providers full fibre network in that area/headend exchange. It may take some time for providers to then be able to offer you such products if it's in their portfolio.

Different full fibre infrastructure providers will use their own CBTs or connection points. If capacity is then full then an incremental build is done and another CBT installed on the pole depending on space.
