FTTPod list of suppliers?

The property im in can only get on demand, whilst it is part of a work property, a few of the suppliers ive contacted dont offer this service? Ive messaged a company called cerebus(?) but I was wondering if theres anyone else i can try?
thank you.

As I recall the main ISPs were Cerberus Networks, Syscomm, Amvia, Ogi (formerly Specrum Internet) in South Wales and FluidOne. Giganet can also do FTTPoD, but only in Winchester, Salisbury and Basingstoke. But generally I tend to only recommend Cerberus because they're much more approachable and getting a quote is easy.

And how many K's to install?
 
Amvia resell Cerberus. It's possible they will charge less for the monthly fee for the first 12 months, but generally that's a drop in the ocean of the total cost.

There's a full list of FTTPoD providers on the Openreach website (scroll down to "On Demand"). But really Cerberus is the main option with national geographic coverage. They are a nice bunch.
 
So just adding the extra's from that Openreach link:

Fibre.net, Sempervox and Wavenet.

I suspect the salesperson you spoke to didn't understand the difference between FTTP and FTTPoD.

FTTPoD doesn't appear to be listed as a product option on Amvia's website any more, but it does have a couple of old blog postings:

Anyway, the very first step with FTTPoD is to get a desktop quotation. They will need to take your address details, and send it to Openreach (via Cerberus I believe) for a response. It can take a few days.

The result you get is pretty random: the final price you pay could be half or double the desktop quote, sometimes bigger differences than that - but you have to pay £250+VAT to trigger a survey and get the real price. See the spreadsheet here which collates desktop quotes and actual final prices from forum members over the past few years.

The best you can expect today is if you are less than 500 metres away from an existing splitter, and it is a simple installation (e.g. no digging required, not an MDU) then you'll be charged £2620+VAT, on top of the £250+VAT already paid. That is for the "near network trial" which runs until the end of May. Otherwise, expect £8K+VAT or more.
