Just a turn of phrase to mean some people would be interested to know how far away their aggregation node is (it wasn't meant to be literal), that curiosity may not extend to you but lots of people have been interested to know including the OP.

Fair. Even though it has no impact on the service received I guess someone may have some interest. I'm not especially interested but for various reasons know where the Openreach, Netomnia and CityFibre nodes serving me are.

EDIT: Tons of new ones are being built as part of the wider FTTP rollout, the existing ones for FTTC aren't close to enough to feed everything, so a map shown here a while ago, if there was one, would be hugely out of date and obsolete now, mind. Chambers being enlarged tends to be a big giveaway as to where a new node is going for those interested, as do streetworks notices for splicing works over a period.

Agree static drawings get out of date quickly. The aggregation node serving me is some way away and Openreach had already added a reasonably large sub node (don't know the proper term) to it which is a lot closer to me with a fair few pre-spliced fibres going straight through to it, so there was no need to do anything at the aggregation node including the need to run back to it. I am aware of a fair few other PONs going back to the same sub node so it was a good move by Openreach.

A while back on this forum there was a link to a map that showed where FTTP nodes were in your area (similar to being able to see cabs), does anyone remember this and know what the post/link is

thanks

I know if you do a leased line quote with BTW they tell you the distance to the Aggregation node, capacity in it etc.

At Least in the wholesale side of things, I only know because I checked my address e.g. it often shows it under the ECI section.

In my case 2.4KM no ECI or additional costs, fibre already present or something like that, its been a while since I did a leased line. To be honest if you need a leased line you don't really have an option if there is a cost and its the only option for your business.
