Your chances all depend on how many other people are in the same situation in your area.

In reply to a post by siege2:
Hi MrSaffron

regarding my current status off connection directly to my telephone exchange, distance off 80 metres ish. would you's think I have a chance off getting fibre to my house, Note I am not connected to any street cabinet based on my previous post.

Kenneth

I have also posted in the www.sky.co.uk forum going to post into the skyuser one as well asap.

thanks people.


The possiblities in the future are for BT to install a PCP "just outside" the exchange, provide FTTP or in cases like yours to allow VDSL2 inside the exchange (which is currently not allowed by the band plan).

Neither installation of a new PCP or FTTP seems like a "quick fix" but it is an issue that impacts a sizeable number (but low percentage) of customers. One problem is that EO lines come in several flavours - close to the exchange like yours or a cluster of premises several miles away which may have originally been a small development. The solution to this is unlikely to be straightforward and with FTTC being a commercial venture by OpenReach there is problem no money to be made to "fix" small groups of premises like yours.

I assume you have registered interest with BT for FTTC and starting a letter writing campaign ("encourage your neighbours") to your councillor, MP and the CEO of BT is your only option.
