Hi all
I'm in a situation that I'm sure many others are too, and I'm just looking for some opinion to help me ascertain what the future broadband speed prospects are. In summary:
- I'm on an FTTC connection (ISP is BT)
- My property is 1200 metres from the cabinet
- I get a steady 15mb download speed and 1mb upload speed, which is the best possible due to the line length
- As I'm in the 'commercial roll out area' my local BDUK project team say they cannot and will not ever assist in any way (and that they are legally not permitted to do so)
- As I live in an urban area, most of the properties served by my cabinet have no problems with their FTTC or ADSL speeds. My part of the street is at the extreme end of the area served by the cabinet
- My exchange is not enabled for FoD but the cost would be prohibitive anyway
So my questions are:
1) As I have FTTC, but not 'superfast' speeds according to the Ofcom definition, does this mean I'm in the 97% covered by superfast or the remaining 3% who aren't?
2) What if any are the things that would be likely to increase my speeds in the future?
Many thanks!
