Cityfibre network in Sheffield, available?

Has anyone actually got a connection on the CityFibre network in Sheffield?

The checker on the website has been showing availability since mid December in my postcode yet when I've contacted ISP's none are actually able to place an order.

I've reluctantly been paying out of contract prices since September after contacting them several times since late summer when the main works where completed for them to say their network would be available soon. Now I might as well wait until post price rises to jump on the Openreach fttp network.

The lack of information and updates is a bit frustrating, it's almost like they don't want the users.
 
So far I've only seen them put the network live in part of the Rotherham area around Bradgate. I know they've built across a much bigger area, but like so many of their builds it's hard to find an ISP that will actually let you order the service.
 
They’ve been doing work in my area since the end of October, it’s all complete here now but the man I spoke to that seemed to be overlooking all of it told me it goes live here in the middle of this month.

Maybe the providers are waiting for the entirety of Sheffield to be complete, it would make marketing easier.

It’s really frustrating having to wait though, when you can clearly see it’s all ready to go. 😂

What Mark said about ISPs not servicing Sheffield yet will be correct.

If you're interested, I have just gone and collected data for S1/S2/S3/S4 (so this is accurate as of this morning), the green points will be those which are ready to go live but have no provider yet. Yellow/orange are planned/being worked on.

It looks like a majority of the city is ready.

I wonder how this will look when providers get network-wide coverage. I am assuming there won't be this delay.
