moving to a new property

[iniltous]

Poles are usually pretty inexpensive to provide FTTP with , but there can be exceptions, if some poles are missed out in an area that is served by poles , so some near neighbours that can get FTTP ( via telegraph poles ) but some address around the same age cannot , then it may simply be those addresses are outside the PON  boundary , a boundary has to be somewhere, or it could be to get an optical cable/CBT onto that particular pole or a few poles is not straightforward, so  Openreach simply defer those addresses until a later date , that’s just a commercial decision, too costly is a perfectly valid reason for excluding some addresses.

If you feel that the addresses are covered it’s just the Openreach records that say they are not covered that’s wrong , fill in this  formwize , there is a section along the lines of my neighbours can get FTTP but I can’t , this gets OR to check

Okay is it worth filling in the form.

Thing is moving from London having a one gig broadband down to around 60mb is going to be like going back in time 

So hopefully it be upgraded soon.

The open reach website says it will be around 60mb is that based on facts or just them saying you could get up to 60

I will give them a email and see what they say

Actually, unless you're into intensive gaming or running a business, or have a large family all online at the same time, 60Mbps is a quite adequate broadband speed. It's what I get from my FTTC service and, as well as normal web browsing, email etc, it allows perfectly good TV streaming with no lags or buffering.

So would call of duty black ops 3 be stable 

I do download games now and than about 110gb used to take about 20 to 25 minutes but don't know how long it be here

Hello got this reply it seems big standard so I think it highly unlikely this property will ever get FTTP

So if there a chance this postcode will be the 1% that never gets upgraded or will it come eventually. 

I don't know if 5g will be the answer it seems to be a area full of people who are scared of 5g and do protests and block it 

Also how does fttp on demand work I'm looking at the prices and it seems very baffling 

Thank you for your recent enquiry via

---

the Openreach website about getting faster broadband.  

I have had a look in to this for you and we don't have any plans to upgrade your property to receive Ultrafast Fibre Broadband right now, but we can keep you up to date when things change. 

I would also like to make you aware that our UK full fibre rollout plans are managed in individual local projects that must be commissioned in a phased manner.

Due to this your neighbouring street/locality might get Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) before yours, if you are seeing the other residents in another part of your town/village or even the street appearing to have fibre available already, this will be why.

Please register your interest in Ultrafast Full Fibre Broadband via our Fibre Checker. We’ll let you know if the plans change and when Ultrafast Full Fibre Broadband is available to order. 

If you want to bring fibre to your property sooner is an option you could look into.

Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) on Demand, FTTP on demand is a product which a few select service providers offer, which will give you a full-fibre FTTP broadband, as a bespoke installation direct to your premises. It is available across the UK – even in areas that cannot reliably get FTTC.

Fibre on Demand differs from standard FTTP in a number of important ways. As the fibre is delivered to your premises as a custom build, it is a substantial installation. If you would like to look into this option you’ll need to contact a service provider to place an order.

You can find a list of service providers on this link, just scroll down the page and click on demand

For your information. FTTP on Demand is a bespoke product that is mainly sold to businesses. The cost of laying the cables and installation is borne by the person requesting the service and can run into thousands of pounds.

Not every ISP including BT sell the product so you may not have a provider willing to do the work in your area.
