OK so the 330Mb confusion is cleared up , FTTPod and WBC FTTP are not the same thing , FTTPod is ‘on demand’ , the customer ordering this Openreach product pay for all the network construction , this is often in the 10’s of thousands of ££’s and BT are not an ISP that offer it anyway, this would have been clear from your earlier post if you had shown the checker results rather than your edited version of it .
From this additional information, it’s seems property on the opposite side of the road to you can currently get WBC FTTP , your side apparently cannot , but anyone with deep enough pockets can enquire, via a participating ISP , how much FTTPod will cost , including you .
Housing built in the 1960’s through to the early 1990’s , were predominantly provided with service using ‘DIG’ , the copper pair ‘phone’ cable into each property was armoured and buried Directly In the Ground , in these areas there often is some ‘BT’ infrastructure ( BT because it was many years ago back ) on one side of the road only , ( full size jointboxes , duct ) , but the opposite side has none , the armoured cables for that side originating in the jointboxes on the side with infrastructure and running directly under the road , so when it comes to FTTP upgrades , one side of the road is much more expensive than the other to provide it with FTTP , as ducted road crossings and new jointboxes need to be constructed on the side with no existing infrastructure, the side with existing full size infrastructure can use that existing infrastructure for FTTP as well as the existing copper service .
Often there are small joint boxes ( JB21,JB22 and JB23 ) on both sides of the road but they are way too small to be of any use with FTTP , and don’t have ducts into them , so may as well not be there , it’s the full size JUF4 etc type boxes that are any use for FTTP .
Openreach not BT (BT have no involvement in this type of decision making ) have the same financial constraints as every other network builder , so if one side will for example cost £100 per house to make them FTTP ready , and the opposite side will , because of the extra construction costs for road crossings, new duct and boxes , will be £400 per house (those houses sharing the extra infrastructure construction costs ) then one side of the road can be done as it’s within budget and the other side left until finances allow .
