My open reach connection is from a pole across a dual carriageway but is effectively 5 lanes away from me.
That pole has no fttp infrastructure & won't get any fttp infrastructure likely due to redevelopments that might start in ~ 5 years.
there is another pole just 1 carriageway away and is arguably closer. My neighbours neighbour is connected to that pole. That pole also has 2 x altnet fttp infrastructure connected to it.
as you look at my home, the cable from open reach coming from across the dual carriageway connects to the right of my house. at the left of my driveway, on the boundary between me and my neighbour is a BT pole that connects that neighbour to the same pole across the dual carriageway 5 carriageways away.
there is line of sight from that pole to the pole 1 carriageway away that connects my neighbours neighbour.
There is no obvious reason why myself & my neighbour could not be connected to their neighbours pole for PSTN.
My thinking here is that if I or we are connected to that pole 1 carriageway away, then we have a better chance of getting fttp, if not from the alt nets then from OpenReach ISP's when OpenReach complete their fttp build as they are unlikely to do fttp to the pole 5 carriageways away either.
I went down this route ~ 4 years ago with plus net and kept having issues with OR desktop survey wanting to connect me to the pole 5 carriageways away instead of the one 1 carriageway away & I had to reject several proposed installs because of this (suggestion of OR engineers that turned up) & gave up when it became clear Toob where to be installing & toob assured me I'd get service but now won't.
Now providers are looking to stop selling PSTN services I may have 1 final chance to get this additional line,
Once I have service from the alternate pole the other ISP's systems will likely show I have service from that pole and I can then order other services, if not the alt nets then those that use OR once OR do their build.
Altnets are not interested in providing service from the alternative pole even though their installers & open reach say it's possible. it's too much hassle for them to do something slightly different from the norm, I'm not being negative its just how it is when the computer says no.
anyway, as per the title, I'm looking for suggestions of any ISP's that would entertain a new line from a different pole, Open Reach term is something like "alternate route" for residential stuff, "diverse routing" when I was ordering enterprise wan circuits but that would also ensure full path was diverse from an existing connection which obviously I'm not interested here.
ISP suggestions welcome.
