I guess that's also one of the F&W Networks build areas, which supplies Hey!. They did announce an expansion but haven't named any locations yet. I'll give them a prod and see what we can find out.



Openreach are also targeting the area:

 
I've got F&W coming to install my Hey!Broadband service early next week. Quite excited. Happy to share details of how it went if required.

Apparently H!B are partnering with ToTheMoon mobile which i find interesting - not seen a broadband company partner with an MVNO before.
 
@Mark.J and gang, is there a site that centralises the coverage for all these smaller companies so I can check my post code?
 
Thinkbroadband does some of them, but by no means all. Part of the problem is getting the network operators to share that data. Some will, some won't.

They do, but they don't always want rivals to find them before they've had a chance to finish a build.
 
My Hey!Broadband service was installed this morning. Went well, very accommodating installers (who I believe are a 3rd party contractor).

Took the time to listen when I explained I‘m a bit precious about neat and tidy cabling on the outside of my house and did a good tidy job. Took about 2hrs.

The router they provide is a managed very locked down TP-Link Archer router but they have no problem enabling Bridge mode so that you can use your own kit (I love Draytek Routers personally).

940Mb up & down.

Very pleased so far.

@ADW Any chance of a few photo of the installation? I am particularly interested the incoming connection, ONT connection and router.
 
Sure @UKHAN - there's no ONT. Just a box on the wall where the presented fibre terminates and then a fibre extension cable runs from the box to the supplied Router's PON port.

I have the Router in Bridge mode and I run a cable to the WAN port on my Draytek.

Here's 3 photos:

@ADW that's fantastic I really appreciate it. I'm looking to renovate my house and the 'Comms' room is central to the house so wanted to make sufficient provision for it. Any chance of seeing what's under the box flap and also what the green termination look like? I'm also toying with the idea of building my own pfsense router which i hope to connect directly to the green fibre extension cable.
