Some nearby street cabinets (e.g. cabinet 8) report to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> available, while others have none and the latter frequently offer only fairly slow ADSL2+ speeds.<\/p>\n<p>The situation in nearby <strong>Bradley Stoke<\/strong> is similar due to the high number of <strong>Exchange Only Lines<\/strong> (EOL) in the town and the fact that it\u2019s split between the two telephone exchanges in <strong>Almondsbury<\/strong> and <strong>Filton<\/strong>. But earlier this month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> confirmed that Bradley Stoke&#8217;s EOL infrastructure was finally in the process of getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>, so clearly progress is being made\u00a0for some\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/08\/bradley-stokes-exchange-lines-finally-get-bt-superfast-broadband.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>But, back in Charlton Hayes, the first locals have been complaining to developer <strong>Bovis Homes<\/strong> because they apparently have &#8220;<em>no option<\/em>&#8221; other than to take Seethelight&#8217;s service, although <a href=\"http:\/\/www.southwestbusiness.co.uk\/news\/15082014092249-bristol-residents-say-they-are-being-held-to-ransom-over-deal-between-bovis-homes-and-broadband-supplier-business-seethelight\/\" target=\"_blank\">South West Business<\/a> confusingly attempts to clarify by saying &#8220;<em>residents have no option to go to another provider unless they pay for a phone line and broadband connection<\/em>&#8221; (this doesn&#8217;t sound like no option, unless they really mean <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> would have to build new infrastructure).<\/p>\n<p>In any case Seethelight, which is able to offer superfast broadband packages of between <strong>50Mbps<\/strong> and <strong>300Mbps<\/strong> by using true fibre optic infrastructure via the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifnl.net\/\" target=\"_new\"><span style=\"color: #227ab4;\">Independent Fibre Networks Limited<\/span><\/a> (IFNL) platform, appears to be the developments default utility provider for broadband and phone services (Sky&#8217;s TV service is also available over the network, like it is with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/06\/uk-utility-provider-gtc-launch-300mbps-ftth-broadband-standard.html\" target=\"_blank\">GTC&#8217;s builds<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the good speeds and reasonably affordable service offered by Seethelight (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/12\/seethelight-confirm-new-year-price-hike-uk-ftth-broadband-service.html\" target=\"_blank\">details from our Dec 2013 article<\/a>), at least some locals aren&#8217;t happy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Jenna Gaff, New Charlton Hayes Resident, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>My neighbours include a couple of doctors, people working in the same area as me and some IT consultants.
