Need Help identify this on BT pole

Hi, I have just found out my house was omitted from a local FTTP scheme which was unexpectadly extended past my house to to a couple of houses further down the road. Besides being completly pis*d that they did this, (i had pledged a voucher) i was wondering if the newly appeared node on the pole outside my house (see here) is actually a FTTP connection splitter node. If so Is it possible to tell if it has capacity to connect me and my neighbour.
Thanks in aticipation
Mike

You sure thats new? it looks like copper not fibre to me.

Probably just become detached from its bracket on the pole.

That doesn't necessarily look FTTP related to me.

It's just a water proof enclosure that could contain both fibre or copper. The lack of a yellow stripe on the incoming/outgoing cable suggests it isn't fibre, unless the angle of your picture is obscuring the stripe.

They can contain nodes or a simple joint.

What the man said ….. no fibre in that. It’s a (now obsolete) copper joint

As others have said, it's not fibre - also it would have a yellow "Warning: overhead fibre" label if it were carrying fibre.

Two other things:

1. If you'd pledged a voucher to a CFP scheme, you need to talk to your CFP organiser. They would have got a detailed schedule listing the exact properties to be connected, early on in the programme, before the CIC signed the contract. Confirm whether you were in or out of scope.

2. If you cannot get anything out of your CFP organiser - or you learn that you were out of scope - and the CFP has already completed and your neighbours are live with FTTP; then use the Openreach contact form here: https://www.openreach.com/forms/fibre-broadband-avai...

Select the option "I cannot get fibre but my neighbours can".

I think the OP is assuming (rightly or wrongly) that the two newly FTTP enabled properties were part of the same scheme the OP pledged too. We do not know when the OP pledged the voucher and when that scheme is scheduled to be delivered. The two newly enabled properties may have already been part of a BDUK rollout and have been excluded from the scheme the OP pledged too.

Reason: “I cannot get fibre but my neighbours can”

You should hopefully get a response within a week. If not there are other escalation paths, but try this first.
