Hi

What kind of timescale are we talking about for Openreach to reply on that email address? The FAQ does kinda say don't email for general enquires, its more for an enquiry on delays on a cab etc.

Do you get an automated reply on that address as I didn't.

It certainly isnt immediate and I am not aware of any automated response.

I think it is a "wait and see" situation. I don't think it is a proper staffed up "help desk" operation (but I could be wrong).

Reviving this old thread I created when I first got FTTC.

Today I’ve had gigabit FTTP installed (well 900Mbps with ofcom advertising rules)

11 years seems a really long time between technologies. When I got FTTC I had assumed there’d be faster VDSL options available in the future or other similar DSL tech that would offer faster speeds. I really didn’t expect 80Mbit FTTC to be the only choice for more than a decade. Due to crosstalk the connection slowed in the last few years down to about 60Mbit.

Today’s FTTP service is about 15 times faster than my current FTTC line with the option to go faster.

One minor thing I wasn’t expecting today was I got the new 2.5Gbit ONT. At least that is a little future proof.

nexfibre thinking ahead, as you'd hope. Its likely the network is XGS-PON and so the 2.5 Gb is only relating to the Ethernet connection. Toob are deploying in my town and they are also using XGS-PON but only a 1 Gb connector on their ONTs. Sadly they aren't near my flat yet

I actually got EE via openreach.

I’ve been tracking Nexfibre in my area but openreach became available first so I went with that. The Nexfibre CBT is installed on my pole but no sign of it being ready to order.

With Nexfibre there’s no ONT, the fibre goes straight into the router (which then does have a 2.5gbit port available for LAN devices.

Out of interest what model is the ONT?

Oh cool. So they're planning for the 1.6 Gbps download service, whichever service you signed up for. May still be GPON then, as ISPreview report OR are still testing XGS.

Sounds similar to me, Toob is on the pole up the road, but they tell me they don't serve flats from poles, and to wait for their engineering team...!

Combined ONT and router, they probably wanted to clone the experience of the DOCSIS hubs, not a great idea as over many many years the fibre from the wall to the router may be more delicate than the thick coax. Their problem though, as long as they have an Ethernet port so you can use your own.

The model is ADTRAN SDX 611Q which is one of the two 2.5gbit options I think that exist.
