Is this Fibre ?

Go to solution

Hi 

I'm trying to get fibre to the home and having a nightmare getting someone with some common sense to review the situation. Overreach/BT are saying that there is no fibre in my area although both my neighbours have fibre to the premises. 3m outside my house is a BT pit (photo attached) can anyone confirm this is a fibre box.IMG_1647-2.jpg

1. It’s called a Joint Footway Box, of JF. It’s not called a ‘Pit’.

2. You shouldn’t be in there.

3.It looks like a Fibre Node, possibly a Splitter or Intermediate Node. 

Anticipated Reply.

1. Just because there’s a Fibre Node in there it doesn’t mean you can get FTTP.

@Crake2020 yes that is fibre in the pit, so therefore it is in your area but may not necessarily be offered by your provider.

No such company.

Openreach is a separate company, and nothing to do with BT Retail, who run this forum.

If you are an exiting BT Retail customer with a working phone line, then the broadband availability checker should tell you what is available.

If you are with another provider, then you would have to contact them to see if they can supply FTTP.

You'd better tell OFCOM that.

"Ofcom has today broadly praised the progress that Openreach have made in their on-going efforts to become a distinct “legally separate” company away from BT."

Does that mean I can buy shares in Openreach now,  Or is it still BT?

All the shares are held by the bt group.  The 2 companies - openreach and BT retail and members of the BT group but trade entirely separate and per OFCOM. Of course if you have proof to the contrary then you should contact OFCOM who will no doubt investigate

it is no different to Screwfix and B&Q who are member of the same group but entirely separate

It may be possible in the near future.
