phone number is more accurate than using address but easiest way to find out is phone FTTP TEAM 08005874787 and see if you can order

you cannot order switch from FTTC to FTTP via app or online

For FTTP, the speed will be accurate for both number and address as speed is not distance related as it is with FTTC.

Thanks will try the number tomorrow as they are not open today my number also used to work when I used to check the dsl checker 2 weeks ago Was only showing 330 but about a week ago they installed l a new phone system and that when I notice the 1000 showed up this weekend maybe they finally activated it 🤞🤞 uploading gameplay videos to YouTube will be alot quicker with 220 upload speed

Nope can't get it yet according to that number the infrastructure not been updated how long do that normally takes for them to update the infrastructure? normally if you see the speeds show up on the dsl checker and the bt site then you should get it maybe bt should be advertising the speeds hey can't deliver

The dslchecker is maintained by openreach and nothing to do with BT RETAIL
