The area we've just moved to is served by mediocre-but-fine FTTC (30ish/6ish) and is a rural part of south Notts/north Leics. I had a look to see if the village is covered by GVBS (annoyingly we moved out of a village that was just having their gigabit fitted via that scheme!), and it says it isn't, because the area is likely covered by commercial rollout / Openreach is active in the area, but then when I go to the Openreach checker, it says the postcode isn't covered by any planned rollouts.
Looking at the map, there's a dead zone that basically covers North & East of Loughborough (we live NE) where there's no planned rollout. I understand that the list is updated every quarter, but it'd be good to know whether it's just that Openreach have no intention of doing the commercial work (and thus it's going to be covered by another installer), or whether it's something else?
An interesting point of note is that my village is technically in Nottinghamshire, but the main exchange is in another village which is in Leicestershire - could that be why the GVBS isn't applicable?
I've looked at the Better Internet Dashboard but it didn't seem like there was anything planned. It says Hyperoptic, OR and T-Mobile are local, but doesn't seem like any of them have any plans for the near-mid future.
