What is what!

Currently my product is Fibre Halo 3 which provides me with a download speed of 72mbts according to speed tests. My service is provided by a telegraph pole. Over the last few months fibre cables have been routed under the pavement and attached to the telegraph feed and when speaking to the installers they were not affiliated to BT but to a competitor. Also a leaflet from BT states Full Fibre is now available in my street.

If I change my product to Full Fibre will my copper feed from telegraph pole to router be exchanged to a Fibre cable?

Re: What is what!

normally the fibre cable will follow your existing copper wiring so fibre from pole to home

check fibre is available  enter phone number and post results including notes

Re: What is what!

You have stated something a little contradictory, if the network construction work you enquired about wasn't for Openreach but a competitor, then unless OR have also provided a FTTP network without you noticing then it’s not clear how BT can be offering FTTP .
If you change to FTTP from a competitor not using Openreach, apart from considering the potential early termination charges for leaving BT early , the competitor will put up a fibre cable alongside the existing OR copper cable , if BT ( or a company that users Openreach ) can provide FTTP chances are the old copper drop-wire will be taken down at the same time as the optical cable is put up ,basically only  OR can touch OR dropwires , competitors are  allowed access to Openreach poles and ducts etc ,not wires .

FYI , is much more to FTTP than swapping a copper wire to an optical cable though .
