I was reading one of the articles today that - as usual - referenced the current stats for properties listed as “having access” to FTTP. It got me wondering whether properties like mine that have e.g. virgin media FTTP up to the boundary, but can’t connect the last bit to the house, are covered in those stats?
in my case, there’s a long driveway up to the house that’s tarmacked and also has shared access for the first 15%, give or take.
When I look for my address on their checker or sales page the ISP doesn’t have me down as connected even though I have a connection to the drive, unlike my neighbours either side that have the same connections and are listed. If I look on bidb, that shows me as being active and in service just like my neighbours.
I assume the same info that feeds bidb is also feeding these stats and so shows all of the properties that just fit outside of connection feasibility but are still “active”, so long as you pay thousands to get the connection working?
For kicks, is there a standard, official, and consolidated record of these stats and their sources?
