Working fine here, the usual we can supply you with VDSL and have no plans.Openreach fibre checker is not working for me. Anyone having same problem?
Curious if I am the only one here with no plans, everyone else who isnt happy does at least appear to have planned and its coming in future.I wish it would only inform you of how wonderful it is after a positive test for availability. For those of us that are not "in plan" we don't need to be told how brilliant is (or we wouldn't be looking) each time only to suffer a gut punch with a "not yet available" after running the test.
I Was only added to the plan last month, and there's still a few areas around me that aren't planned at all. So you're definitely not alone.Curious if I am the only one here with no plans, everyone else who isnt happy does at least appear to have planned and its coming in future.
Does that address have a working FTTC connection ? Could be a glitch as they won't supply copper to a fibre area but as fibre isn't yet available they should supply a copper service if requested - but they may not advertise it as available.Interestingly I Just checked a few addresses including one of my friend's places and it's only showing FTTP As planned, but not showing any availability for ADSL or FTTC, and the BT Website ONLY shows 4G Broadband as an option.
Does that mean there's now addresses covered by legacy technology that Openreach simply refuse to serve now?
I may be wrong, but i believe that if a property is only served by Fixed Rate services [ie First Gen ADSL] and can’t receive a rate adaptive ADSL Max/ADSL2+ service, usually because their copper line goes beyond the distance limit to receive the rate-adaptive service, they can’t get a fixed line connection at all, since no isp offers the fixed rate broadband service any more [BT are probably the only one that would do it and you would struggle to get one of their “guides” to understand this].I Was only added to the plan last month, and there's still a few areas around me that aren't planned at all.

I suspect that might be an error as there is still a USO.I Was only added to the plan last month, and there's still a few areas around me that aren't planned at all. So you're definitely not alone.

I attached that as the second image in my latest post. It says fixed rate ADSL.What does the BT wholesale checker say?
Which I assume is why BT are pushing 4G Home broadband if you check the address on their website.there is still a USO.
I THINK They are an EO Line if I am not mistaken. The exchange is just a few minutes walk away and the BTW Checker doesn't give a cabinet number. Before I got them set up with 5G Broadband they had TalkTalk broadband on ADSL And I am sure I remember them getting an impressively high speed.I may be wrong, but i believe that if a property is only served by Fixed Rate services [ie First Gen ADSL] and can’t receive a rate adaptive ADSL Max/ADSL2+ service, usually because their copper line goes beyond the distance limit to receive the rate-adaptive service, they can’t get a fixed line connection at all
Oh sorry I missed that, very odd then. Yeah would explain them pushing 4G, this perhaps answer a question well that I asked on here not long ago as there is an area of the city I know off (friend lives there), the area by pure bad luck is a black spot for Virgin Media, black spot for VDSL, and ADSL syncs at a couple of mbit. So I wonder if it is heading for the same future as the address you checked. (Last I checked and I believe it is still the case it has no plans for both OR and CityFibre, its in the 5% of city CityFibre wont be covering).I attached that as the second image in my latest post.

4G to meet the USO is fine, but their prices aren't. At £53.73 for 15Mb and £75.48 for 30Mb they are just taking advantage of people in an unfortunate situation imo.Oh sorry I missed that, very odd then.

Yeah my friend is why I have been making the odd post about city schemes to improve coverage.4G to meet the USO is fine, but their prices aren't. At £53.73 for 15Mb and £75.48 for 30Mb they are just taking advantage of people in an unfortunate situation imo.
Both Openreach and CityFibre have FTTP Plans for this address so things will change in future. But in the case of your friend who isn't planned for coverage by anyone that's rough. There needs to be a more affordable wireless USO solution for this.
This is the eventual outcome of the various broadband speed checkers, once 100% of the uk can access the btwholesale fttp product. I’m honestly not going to be surprised that, once everyone can access it, that the btwholesale checker will be yeeted as it won’t report anything useful at all after that point lol
