WirksworthHere's a quote from the TPON progress update:
In order for TPON orders to progress for review and possible conversion to copper, changes to systems and processes have also been completed in July and are currently undergoing a limited trial period with orders placed by customers where limited capacity already exists.
Availability of this limited capacity and estimated completion dates of the programmed builds is available to all Service Providers on a dedicated BT website. Service Providers have been asked to check availability before placing orders and advise their customers accordingly.
On successful completion of the trial period regular updates and additional sites completed in the build programme will be provided to Service Providers, allowing them to place Broadband orders in additional areas as new copper becomes available.
