Proper fibre

Someone-Else · Post by **Someone-Else** » Thu Oct 12, 2023 6:52 pm

Had an email from BT they are saying I can now have "full fibre" if I want. Not phoned up yet so no idea how much. I will let you know.

Background info.
I am on BT fibre broadband, but it is fibre to the local cabinet, and copper wires from there to my house. Couple of weeks ago? subbies were up the BT pole over the road for a couple of days, so I went over and asked, he showed me, they are putting fibre up to the pole, and getting it ready for me, my neighbours etc, he was in the process of setting up single fibres for each house, he did say BT will offer it to me soon, guess they just have.

They are doing the same around my area, some cutting of footpaths to meet up with poles in different roads; as stated before, my mate in Fetham has a new pole outside but running a new cable to his house will cause some clutter when he wants to get to his gutters. The boxes on these poles do seem to be a bit low and a temptation for vandals, as was the case with the green colour VM (NTL) ground level boxes.
My house and the 13 others in my Close do not have poles, but Virgin underground and so I am not sure if BT will offer full fibre in the near future.

Aim was to have everyone on full fibre by 2025 but they have since said that won't be achieveble. The aim is to get everyone on full fibre over the coming years though as they replace the copper lines.

Just trying to provide help. To be honest the post was quite high up the page so didn't expect it to be as old
