Broadband Availability fiasco

It could be the SASA on the Splitter is full. If that’s the case you’ll need to wait for Openreach to increase Capacity.

Ah yes, the old SASA splitter issue ...

I’ve got absolutely nowhere with this.
Openreach engineers were on our road yesterday so I grabbed the chance to have a chat with them.
They have confirmed there is FTTP in our road so distance from the cabinet is **bleep** as FTTP doesnt go via a cabinet.
They were good enough to let me take a photo of the FTTP branch right outside my front door.
So my question to the group is how do I inform Openreach of the existence of this connection ??

You need to ring them, use the web chat on the Openreach website or use the form.

I've blogged about my frustrations with this here. - When OR install fibre they don't always enter the information on their systems properly so some addresses don't get updated in their database. See this for more information:

In fact, reach out to them multiple times via all those channels - It took me a few months to get the response I was looking for.
