Re: Exchange Only Lines


[re: MrSaffron] [link to this post]
 
That's what I guessed.

So, as a small "business" user by Gigaclear's criteria, if/when I get FTTP (target is by the end of 2019), I'll be facing a minimum monthly cost several times larger than businesses up the road with FTTC, after an installation cost >£1000.

So will BT bother upgrading 20CN areas that have an alternative from another provider, or will they just abandon such areas? OR told me last week they have no plans for the remaining EO lines on our 20CN exchange. They have previously told me they have no plans for ADSL2+ at my exchange. I would settle for ADSL2+ rather than Gigaclear, but it doesn't look as if that will happen.

We�ve known for a while that Openreach will ensure everyone can order at least 10Mb by 2020. Your exchange only line will be no different.

[re: sheephouse] [link to this post]
 
I live in the West End of Glasgow with an Exchange Only line. EE contacted me recently to say I can upgrade to fibre for an additional 5p!

From the Openreach site I found these details:
Exchange name: Glasgow Western
Exchange status: Fibre enabled
Cabinet number: 87
Technology: FTTC

Can someone confirm that the fibre will be to the exchange only and the remainder over my normal phone line. If so, will I notice any substantial difference over my current speed of 13mbps.

Thanks for any information/advice.

Are you going to divulge what the interesting link revealed for your telephone line?

You will have to take a screen shot, blank out your telephone number and host somewhere like postimg.org and show us the link here.
