Hi,
I have just moved into a flat block and my neighbours can get super fast broadband but I can't. Openreach have told me that there is currently no capacity in the cabinet so I am unable to get super fast broadband via FTTC. From what I have researched an active phone line is required for FTTC, so If I were to get ADSL broadband with a phone line could I be offered super fast broadband? I am currently using a 4G sim in a router to get home broadband.
Has anyone had a similar experience to me or can offer their opinion?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to this user forum.
Use the address checker on the page below, and post the results, but edit out your address details first.

That will show what is available at your address.
If the cabinet is full, you will be unable to get Superfast VDSL (FTTC) broadband.
Here is what is available at my address, thanks 🙂
Unfortunately the cabinet is full. All you can do is keep checking and when (if) the 'Waiting List' cahnges to 'Available' get an order in quickly before somebody else snaps up the port that has just become spare.

Thanks
Totally irrelevant, the cabinet is full.
If BT are still selling it at your location (they have stopped in many locations), ADSL2 at 11M (possibly more as the checker is usually very conservative with estimates) is available to you if you don't have a pressing need for high speeds.
