FTTP - REF VOL*****

[egerton]

Dear BT,

Just had a long conversation with BT as to when FTTP is planned to come to SY12 0**. Since requesting since 2014 the latest date is 2027.

Every year since 2014, I have asked BT when is FTTP being installed they always quote ' Next Year' .

Welcome the community to explain how a business can run on a roll on roll off programme to provide a FTTP network to the UK based on this strategic planning mechanism? 

The local MP is making regular appearances in Parliament to establish why North Shropshire has no 5/4G signals to support the local community, compounded by limited choice of FTTP.

your post does not go to BT as an existing forum member I am sure you know

BT have no control over which areas openreach will instal full fibre so like others you just need to wait - or go to another ISP who does not use openreach

Dear DS,

Thanks for response having read a proportion of community responses on FTTP rollout a common theme arises Openreach have no such published plans and I entered the continual frustrations that BT rely on Openreach to deliver to the Governments request to install a network to the entire UK - a bit concerning no planning to a G7 country.

As is evident we are someway off that delivery and even more concerning no plans/finances exist on how to get there.

Do the Government have access to this forum?

If not I will mention to the local MP to request access.

Regards

Graham

@egerton  Why are you posting this on this forum? You’ve already been advised this is a customer to customer forum and doesn’t go to BT or even the Government for that matter, so what’s the point?

This is a public forum and open to all but you must be a registered member to post on the forum

It would make no sense for openreach to publish future plans of fibre installation letting competitors know where they intend to build next

Dear RE,

Many thanks for responding,

The customer/customer relationship is good and it shows the community is being pro-active in identifying a proportion of customers with varying degrees of network availability. 

It is good to highlight customer to customer and especially if the SP has no idea what is going on in the community.

I welcome anyone to agree that more in the community means more customers are in the picture.

On the plus side over 80%  of the UK already have access to FTTP 

[egerton]

Dear RE,

Thanks for the big positive, as a community provider are you inside the 80 or outside?

I thought this community had over 90% coverage in 20206?

I can feel a UK poll developing.

May the community see 100% hopefully by this time next year - we can but hope

Is this some sort of AI bot posting?

Dear RE,

That's a thought, I am off to Chat GPT to establish if its 80 or 90 or more.

Good old AI, the community is better off being informed 

Thankyou
