Fibre Broadband

Hi. I recently looked to see if I can get fibre broadband in my area and I can’t, but only 8 houses down my street they can. What is the reason for this and can it get changed?

If a BT customer enter your phone number into this Checker. If not use address not postcode.

Post a screenshot of the result. Remove number/address before posting but leave exchange and cab number.

Cabinet 71 is not fibre enabled. The houses that have fibre will be connected to a different cabinet. Before you ask, no, it is not possible to move to a different cabinet. That would involve a complete re-arrangement of the local network in your area, individual lines cannot be moved.

Don't know about 'ever', but certainly not in the near future I'm afraid.
