Understood, and that’s my concern. I did try to challenge all this at the time but got nowhere.

That said the house directly opposite me and a scattering of others around it are in a different postcode and none of those got fibre - so if they get it the fibre will pass my front gate.

Thanks I’ll give it a go. One avenue I haven’t tried so far.

My postcode is a long narrow one along a country lane and I’m just over the border into the area served by another exchange. But the neighbour on my side of the road a couple of hundred yards along does have fibre.

I did try a FTTPoD quote but that came back > £100K.

right forget your neighbours at this time. Are you served overhead or underground?

That should work in your favour and bring the cost of delivery to your property down which is a good thing.

Overhead. If it’s in any way relevant, I’m set a little way back from the road so have two Openreach poles in my front garden fed from the pole right outside the house opposite iirc

how many poles from the main road is the nearest cbt?

That I don’t know. As soon as I get a chance I’ll wander down there and take a look.

Not able to find anything resembling the CBT in the picture, but I can see what I think are CBTs with grey rain covers and cables coming out of the bottom.

Counting the pole in the street that I’m fed from as #1 and walking towards the village, the first house I come to that I know can order fibre is fed from pole #10. I don’t think it has a CBT and nor does #11, but both poles are so deep in greenery it’s hard to be 100% sure. Pole #12 definitely has a CBT.

There’s a gap between poles #9 and #10 with no cabling between which I think is where the boundary is between the exchange I’m connected to and the one that serves the rest of the village, the latter being the one that got the voucher funded rollout from Openreach.
