Hello there, I did try searching for this on the forum, but couldn't find a thread that that relevant. My area is going through the motions of FTTP install, they're about to start pulling fibre to the poles in the street. Since I moved to the property I've just been using Virgin Media haven't had any active OpenReach provided service.
When they do the FTTP install, do the contractors try to install to every property, or only to those that have an OR active service? Would I have to do anything or will they usually approach me?
Additionally my house appears to be unusual - everyone else takes their service off a pole + overshead wire including neighbours either side, but my house is provided by an underground cable and has it's own BT chamber in the pavement outside. The former owner was a BT employee but it still seems strange as providing service from a pole is possible. My guess is that trying to use an underground route will be hassle for all concerned so is it likely they will try to use a pole and overhead wire for a fibre install?
Thanks
