I live on a new development (ex MOD brownfield) that has some streets that have FTTP whilst other streets like mine can only get FTTC.
I use the Openreach checker for my address and it says I can get
Superfast Broadband (upto 80Mbps)
but if I put in the address of neighbour a couple of streets away it says they can get
Ultrafast Fibre (upto 1Gbps)
Looking at the BT Wholesale checker it seems that all streets are on the same exchange, with the only difference I can see being the cabinets in the exchange.
The report for my house states under featured products that FTTP on demand could get 330 Mbps, yet in the text below the report it says
"Fttp is not available"
The report for a neighbours house statest under featured products WBC FTTP upto 1000 Mbps, and in the text below
"Our records show the following FTTP network service information for these premises:-Single Dwelling Unit Residential UG congested duct"
and
"FTTP is available and a new ONT may be ordered"
What's going on here? Why can some streets on the estate get FTTP but not others a few dozen yards away?
