No chance of FTTdp?

I'm in an urban area but my specific road only receives ~15mbps on VDSL2. OR engineers I've spoken to have blamed long aluminium cable runs for this.

Whilst I realise it could be much worse, I had consoled myself in the knowledge that the G.Fast rollout would fix this in a few years time.

But from reading into the details, it now seems like the plan is to deploy G.Fast at the cabinet level rather than from distribution points. I understand this would suffer from the same cable quality problems I experience at present and potentially not work at all.

Is there any reason to believe BT would look to "fill in" areas like mine with an FTTdp solution, or should I give up hope?

The answer to this, like almost every other question about the roll out, is know one knows.

Everything might change depending on what Ofcom does, but under what is known currently, G.fast nodes closer to homes but not at cabinets or DP may become a feature post 2020, i.e. once the densely packed cabinets that form the 10 million premises are live

if there are enough of you so co look a co funding it yourself via openreach community fibre parnership

Thanks for your responses. Sounds like there's a glimmer of hope post 2020 then!

would that be an FTTP or FTTdp installation?

I think Fastman2 was referring to an infill FTTC cabinet.

The community partnerships have done both FTTC cabs and FTTP.

I doubt they've done FTTdp, in the sense that it really means G.Fast, but they might have done FTTRN in the sense of a mini VDSL2 DSLAM.

FTTC, FTTP, Self Dig FTTC , Self dig FTTP youd be surprised
a lot of the FTTP is now What I understand to be connectorised block so you put close to premise beyond the DP

therea more than a glimmer of hope now if you community wants to do something about it

Agreed, being the member of an inner city community who did do something about it and are now enjoying 80/20 FTTC connections on our former longish and relatively slow EO lines.

and a happy resident community I expect now

Indeed. Not that many connected as yet but the number's increasing and I think will be a reasonable percentage within a few months.
