FTTP question

Go to solution

Hello. How come this website page says FTTP is available - BT Broadband (btwholesale.com)

But open reach website says there are no plans for FTTP at my property and BT website when I log into my account says no FTTP on offer ?

It sounds like  the BT Wholesale Broadband Checker is saying FTTPoD (FTTP on Demand is available) rather than WBC FTTP?

If the dslchecker does not show FTTP available then unless your neighbours have access to fibre then you just need to wait

Ah yes - and actually I've just seen it then says at bottom FTTP not available. So what is FTTPoD ?

 

So it says FTTP on demand available but then at the bottom says FTTP not available and that the exchange is not an FTTP priority list one

FTTPoD is an expensive business product

Oh I see. Fair enough, thanks.
BTW how come the open reach website says there is 80Mbps fibre to cabinet but fastest service offered by BT is 40-50Mbps ?

The cabinet is capable of 80Mbps but the speed at your premises will be determined by the distance from the cabinet.

Posting dslchecker results will clarify what is available to you bearing in mind that connection speed reduces the further you are from the street cabinet

Openreach checker is using the marketing product speed rather than the actual speed estimate which is why it says "Supports speeds up to 80Mbps". Up to being the key words.

The BT Wholesale Broadband checker will give you a more accurate estimate range that Communication Providers such as BT use to provide a simpler looking speed range you can expect.
