Hi.
My area has slow FTTC broadband. We have started an Openreach Community Fibre Partnership to try and get FTTP installed. This is at around 60% of the target.
Today, I look outside and see three Openreach vans and lots of cable. I asked the engineer if it was FTTP and he said: "We are building the network, including the CBTs, for your estate at risk as construction here is low cost. The network for more rural properties will not be installed until the grant is complete."
He didn't know the timeframe for activating the network.
I've included some pictures of the stuff that's been done today. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Will it ever be activated if the grant doesn't get to the target number of commitments or will it just be left forever disconnected? If the grant isn't an issue, how long until something like this usually goes live?
Thank you.
