Full fibre is available from this cab but not to the flats. Most houses in the exchange can get FTTP now. I've held back because I've been hunting for a flat.

But it reads "WBC FTTC AVAILABILY DATE: Unavailable. Next, WBC SOGEA AVAILABILITY DATE: Available.

Does that mean I can get SOGEA at the same speed as VDSL FTTC?

Full fibre doesn't come the cab for openreach products. That aside, i don't know if your flat is lease hold or free hold, but if its the former, (to which i think you have said its is lease hold), to ask the landlords if they have allowed a wayleave for Open reach to install fibre equipment on the property. I'm not sure of how the flats are set up, ie detached or a mdu.

It's the exact same thing, minus a bundled analogue telephone line.
So yes, at those quoted speeds.

Providers may or may not offer you a digital landline along with the FTTC (SOGEA). It makes no difference to the broadband speeds available.

Re: how I know there's capacity... It would show SOGEA: Waiting List instead of available if the cabinet was at capacity.

You're right, of course. I ought to have said something like houses in the immediate vicinity of the flats have FTTP. Yes, the flat is leasehold. I think FTTP will come about but when is a big question. There are three small MDUs.

Huge thanks. You've been a star.

If you do intend to stay at the property then if you can ask the landlord please do so. If they do say yes they have done so then you may not have to wait too much longer.

Perosnally i'd ask before ordering any new service.

Possibly because there is a Sky broadband service. The the other sections of this website.

I haven't bought the flat yet! Apparently, current residents in the blocks have asked for full fibre. It is probable it will come about as older residents leave and younger people, possibly working from home, move in. I shall add my name if I go for the flat.

You did half mention that you intended to move in before the chaos happened.

Not internet related, but always have a back up house/flat wise if you can.
