When we first moved here in 2018, the FTTC availability was confirmed by BT and others.
The reality was there was not room in the green street cabinet for another line and download speeds over normal broadband were <1mbs, so I was stuck using a portable MIFI device then a proper router with a sim slot and I got 7-8mbs using unlimited data sims.
I checked availability daily and when availability popped up I grabbed it and the max speed is 29mbs. (on the 60mbs tariff).
The local fibre outfit are digging up the two adopted roads that join our un-adopted bit of road and leafletting houses.
I called them to ask about our stretch and they can't answer as to when we will be done, if ever.
What are the problems with digging up un-adopted roads, the water and electricity cos have done it but phone lines use telegraph poles?
(The road was owned by a wealthy mansion house / estate in early Victorian times -solicitors could not find the current owners.)
