I won't give up. I will carry on kept fighting my corner with Openreach, my local MP and Telford & Wrekin Council, I don't care if they ever get fed up with me. I suggest all Telford (Woodside & Madeley area) customers do the same too.
Yeah I suppose so but the G.fast are very expensive £56.99 per month for 330/50Really 252 - 263 down and 38 - 40 up
That seems fairly stable to me TBH, I'd expect to see more variation in speeds caused by congestion at ISP and end server
Yeah, don’t think that’s the case. My road had g-fast installed 2 years ago (no one ever signed up for it) and we just had full fibre installed. I’m not particularly pleased with the install( they have fed all the poles overhead instead of underground ducts to cost cut, dispite the ducts being there). anyway, if that’s the price I pay for Fttp, then that’s fine. Previously they said they weren’t installing it at all. Seems a bit hit and Miss approach.FTTP will give you lower latency over FTTC and in the vast majority of cases s more reliable connection.
As noted up thread, I have also heard from OR people that where G.Fast exists this is a reason for FTTP rollout to be deprioritised at the current time for it to be revisited later.
Agree, it's not a hard rule, but existing G.Fast a reason that Openreach network rollout can deprioritise an areaYeah, don’t think that’s the case.

Do you have VM available? If so pretty much same circumstances as meFeel free to swop with me bulldog....also in Telford. Like in the centre not the sticks

Would love any options to be honest haha
No VM available also - we did enquire if they would extend as they are on the properties behind us approx 15meters away about a month ago but they have no plans too.Do you have VM available? If so pretty much same circumstances as me
I do feel your pain. I think Openreach should have FTTP planning for your property soon rather than me because I can get 330 FTTPoD, 250+ on G.fast, 80 on FTTC and 1Gig Cable with VM in my property and this is probably the reason Openreach will not plan any FTTP until 2026 for my property.No VM available also - we did enquire if they would extend as they are on the properties behind us approx 15meters away about a month ago but they have no plans too.
8-10Mbps ADSL with 700Kbps up
Wait so your pestering your MP and openreach to get them to install FTTP even though you have a FTTP service available as well as G.Fast?!?!??!because I can get 330 FTTPoD, 250+ on G.fast, 80 on FTTC and 1Gig Cable with VM in my property
Virgin media? - No way! Used to be with them before. Very bad and always bad downtime with loss of broadband, badly congestion in my area.Why oh why are you not on Virgin given they do cheaper, faster than 80/20 FTTC packages?!?
They are nearly as cheap as that deal you posted from BT (which I need a link for as I cant find it anywhere)
