Hi
Have spent ages looking for something that ought to be quite simple - a fibre to the cabinet service on a FTTC enabled exchange.
Exchange is Alton, Hampshire. RFS date was about a year ago, but only a percentage of the town was done. The rest has to make do with ADSL. There's no cable or other operator.
Specifically I'm looking to lease an office. I keep coming back to this since at home we can only get 6Mbps which just about suffices as basic broadband. And I'm only looking for about 20Mbps down which isn't asking a lot. That may just be possible with ADSL2+ in a property right next to the exchange but it's not something I'd take a punt on, it's too much money to lose (cost of lease + cost of line + cost of ADSL, only to then find broadband is useless = too late). Been there, done that.
Shot in the dark: have any ISPs got any business FTTC customers connected to that exchange who could point me at a postcode - even just the first 4 characters as a clue, as trawling Google/maps/the BT rollout list is tortuous and has turned up nothing. I need to isolate the location first based on broadband options then look for an office, not the other way around. Had previously ruled out Alton because of this, but has to be worth a final try (before commuting to Aldershot to pick up VM's network) since it's so convenient, and I can't see any other way of finding this information.
