What are Openreach doing in Sandpit Road, Calne today?

Does anyone know what BT Openreach are doing in Sandpit Road, Calne, SN11 today? We've been wanting fibre installed for years and keep being told it's not currently planned but they are currently on the opposite side of the road from my property installed fibre cable through the maintenance hatch in the pavement. Any updates much appreciated. Thank you.

This is a BT retail forum and has absolutely no connection with Openreach.

I answered a similar question with a long lens through my window and snapped a copy of the Openreach engineers paperwork that he was waving around. That told me they were installing the infrastructure for FTTP.

Simpler to just go and talk to them.

Why do people need to know what they're doing anyway if your connection isn't affected, is it not just being nosey for no reason whatsoever?

I've checked and nothing has been updated. Each time we check and/or call we are given conflicting information.

I have and spoke to two different engineers and they both gave totally different answers. But as you say this is the wrong forum for this question, so I shall just leave it there.

Thanks Garybs29! I'm not being nosey, I just want to know whether or not I shall be able to get FTTP soon or if it's totally unrelated. I did speak to two of the engineers but they gave me two different answers, i.e. one said "yes" and the other "no".

You'll be able to get it when it shows as available on the dslchecker @imjolly posted to. Even if they are currently laying the fibre in the street it could still be months before it goes live.
