Best website to see when FTTP goes live


[link to this post]
 
Been waiting for ages to get FTTP, finally a few weeks ago an engineer was down my street had a good chat with him, he said it should be live in about 4 weeks. Is the openreach website the best one to check to see when I can order?

Thanks in advance

Only if it is Openreach fibre that is being supplied.

That checker won’t show you altnets fibre

Received a letter just the other day ..

To add what the other chaps have said, also keep an eye on your property record for changes/updates on the BT Wholesale Checker:

Bear in mind that what he said should be treated as gossip and speculation.

That’s possibly a bit strong, but field engineers have no crystal ball nor are they project / programme managers for fibre deployments. They may be speaking from anecdotal experience or just what their boss has said…

Finally with the best will in the world even the best laid plans sometimes come unstuck or need to change. So all the usual caveats we’ve trotted out here over many years of these sorts of threads and question apply 😀

Thanks everyone, I seem to remember earlier this year that some houses down the road from me took about 6 weeks I was think from the engineers being there to people being able to order.

Fingers crossed there won’t be any unexpected delays as my 2 teenage sons are battering my 20mbs connection 😂
