This may prove to be of little interest to the majority but it's a chink of light at the end of a very dark tunnel for me and I thought this thread may be useful to track any potential Nexfibre rollouts.
My story -
www.ispreview.co.uk
For several years I've been backwards and forwards with Openreach regarding their deployment of FTTP to the remainder of our estate. A cluster of properties can get it but the remainder can't and the last four years have seen several false dawns and cancelled projects. While there has been a flurry of Openreach activity of late, and we are now included in their plans "By 2026" that's as far as we've got. As a result, I've taken that as being cautiously optimistic but otherwise not paid too much attention and resigned myself to just waiting and hoping.
Two altnets also showed interest, Exascale and SWS, the latter of which confirmed an availability date of "Spring 2024" and took pre-orders only for that to be cancelled when they underwent a recent restructuring/acquisition.
In the meantime, I've been tracking BIDB and one.network for signs of Openreach activity in the area that may indicate something tangible taking place but that's devoid of anything recently. However, when I checked this morning I can see a number of Nexfibre work permits have been issued across the village for this week, including at the entrance to our estate. Furthermore, if I download their latest rollout update - https://www.nexfibre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/nexfibre-network-rollout-Q3-2023-NEW77.pdf - Our village is included.
This may all lead to nothing but it's a glimmer of hope. That all being said with their ambitious rollout plans I expect to see more discussion and dialogue on them over the coming months so figured a central thread may prove useful.
If nothing else I can keep this updated and compile a timeline of events from my initial discovery of Nexfibre drawing down permits to something more tangible that may result.
EDIT - Just in case anyone stumbles across this and reads the post above, our installation was completed on Feb 17th and we now have VM XGS-PON.
Timeline of our rollout and installation is in the following post - https://www.ispreview.co.uk/talk/threads/nexfibre-rollout-discussion.40908/post-346191
