Hi All,
I live in a small village with broadband speeds that max out at 36mbps. The village is in between 2 larger towns, one of which has access to 1GB cable, and the other is "in progress" and appears on the Nexfibre + Openreach rollout plans. My village does not appear on these plans.
That being said - at the same time as the roadworks have been going on in the neighbouring village, Nexfibre have worked on every street in my village laying fibre cable. They also upgraded the boxes along the street and were working on the telephone polls. This all leads me to believe the village will get the newer cable soon.. however when I contacted Openreach they advised there were no plans to upgrade my area.
It's been about 3 months since the roadworks were done, I'm wondering if perhaps the roadworks were just connecting the two larger towns and won't affect the speeds in my village.. but then they wouldn't upgrade the boxes on every street, right? Is there any way I can confirm this? I've had no pamphlets about upcoming Virgin media access and no salesman at the door.
There are still roadworks going on for things like "CLEAR FW BLOCKAGE" (no idea what that means!).
My question, really, is how do I get information about the fibre rollout? If Openreach aren't forthcoming, and neither are Virgin Media (VM logo appeared on the roadworks), who do I contact to find out more?
Thanks for reading!
