Open reach shows fibre to the cabinet with good speeds, BT show <1mb

Hi.. I want some help and can't find out where to go,

Open reach tells me I can get good broadband speeds with partial fibre to cabinet but BT (and other providers) tell me I can't even get 1 MB upload and download speeds. What's the truth here? How do I find out without signing up and wasting my time. I currently have an EE 5G router which is really unreliable honestly so desperate for an actual solution,

Enter your address and post the results including the notes.  It may be that there is a waiting list for FTTC

There may be good speeds to the cabinet etc. but is there any spare capacity at the cabinet etc?

Edit:  Ah, typing at same time as imjolly.

As you can see fibre to cabinet is available to you but due to your distance from the cabinet the expected speed is less than 3mb. Nothing you can do until  FTTP is available to you

GFAST is no longer sold

Hmm.. looks like we're stuck with rubbish 5G router for now then. Starlink is over subscribed in our area so there really isn't an alternative. There are no current plans for full fibre rolling out any time soon
