The map is definitely broken. My exchange area now says "Most homes and businesses in this area can order Ultrafast Full Fibre", which is not true. Postcode-level checks say "We’ll be building in this area in the next year"

Is yours an MDU or SDU?

Received an Email today with the same info, "We're building in this area now" with the same details. Hoping the Email was triggered because they're actually doing something.

Our product statuses explained

Our Full Fibre build plans are complex, challenging and constantly changing, please choose the status that applies to your property below and we’ll explain in a little more detail your current build status.

1) We have no plans to build Full Fibre to this property yet
This means that right now, your property can’t access Full Fibre on our network and is in an area where we currently don't have any major plans to build. This could change in the future as we’re aiming to reach 25 million homes and businesses by December 2026, and we’re continuing to build beyond that.

2) We're planning to build in this area
This means that while we're planning on building to your area in the future, our plans to build to this property aren't confirmed yet. But they could be soon as we're aiming to build Full Fibre to 25 million homes and businesses by December 2026 and we're not stopping there.

3) We’ll be building in this area in the next year
This means we’ll be bringing Full Fibre to your area in the next year, so you’ll soon see our vans and engineers working to upgrade the broadband network. And whilst our plans for this specific property aren’t confirmed yet, they could be soon as we’re aiming to reach 25 million homes and businesses by December 2026, and we’re continuing to build beyond that.

4) We're building in this area now
This means we’re already working to upgrade our broadband network to Full Fibre in your area and you may have seen our vans as our engineers work to upgrade our network.
And whilst our plans for this specific property aren’t confirmed yet, they could be soon as we’re aiming to reach 25 million homes and businesses by December 2026, and we’re continuing to build beyond that.

5) Available to order soon
This means our engineers are upgrading the broadband network to this property and Full Fibre will be available to order soon unless our engineers encounter any unexpected problems.
If you sign up we’ll tell you when it’s ready to order - so you can upgrade to the UK’s most reliable broadband technology.

6) Available to order now
This means that Full Fibre is available for you to order now.
Select ‘See providers’ to explore all the broadband providers offering Full Fibre.
And with the biggest choice of broadband providers in the UK, you’re sure to find a connection, package and price that works for you.

Is yours an MDU or SDU?

SDU, but it's not relevant.

I have FTTP, but that was from FTTPoD installed in 2018-2019. Neighbouring SDU properties say "We'll be building in this area in the next year", which is believable, since the exchange was added to announced rollout plans last year.

However, the map summary saying "Most homes and businesses in this [exchange] area can order Ultrafast Full Fibre" is definitely untrue.

Openreach full fibre is a post code address lottery cherry picked! Some win, some lose!
