Now that our research has shown that probably through administrative error certain postcodes have been excluded in BT\u2019s promised coverage, we know it\u2019s just a simple connection problem to existing infrastructure. BT should act straight away to rectify this.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At present there isn&#8217;t a firm plan for tackling the problem, with both councillors merely hoping that some lobbying will encourage BT to remedy the issue. Sadly the Bath Echo doesn&#8217;t include any feedback from BTOpenreach itself and so we hailed the operator for their position on Monday morning, but as yet we are still awaiting a comment.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime the councillors could perhaps consider pursuing an alternative option, such as from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/gigaclear\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Gigaclear<\/a> or maybe even the local ISP <a href=\"http:\/\/www.truespeed.com\" target=\"_blank\">TrueSpeed Communications<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 10:54am<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We finally have a response from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>, although they&#8217;ve ducked key questions on the administrative error.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> Spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Across the South West of England, well over two million households and businesses can now get fibre broadband \u2013 and the number is continuing to increase rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>We very much understand the frustration of residents who can\u2019t yet get this exciting technology and we are working hard to make it as widely available as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Fibre broadband is now available to the great majority of premises in this area, but unfortunately the solution for a relatively small number of premises is more complicated because they are connected directly to the local exchange on \u2018exchange only\u2019 lines, rather than via a cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Although these premises are not yet included in any current fibre broadband rollout programme, this most certainly is not the end of the story. One possibility could be a Community Fibre Partnership in which the local community co-funds the extra work with BT\u2019s local network business, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>.
