Hi
This is a half follow up to my previous post about roadworks/fttp down my area.
Airband brought FTTP to my area last year. They were unable to connect my property because "They cannot use the same poles that SP/BT do". Fair enough. Had to cancel the order.
Today whilst I was out for a walk I had a look at the pole at the end of my lane with all the fibre cabling on. It had a Airband black (microphone looking thing) on it. But the pole was BT engraved. And the same pole that delivers our standard FTTC cable as far as I can tell. Why would they be able to use that pole but not the one down our lane that BT also use?
And on a slightly different note, if Airband is a seperate entity to Openreach, what happens when Openreach want to upgrade my area to FTTP. Airband are presumably using the poles they would've used. Do they stick cable on top of the same pole? Do they share the cable? Do they put up new poles entirely?
Thanks for any help.
