Hi, I was wondering if someone could explain something to me, and forgive me if this has already been brought up or is a foolish question:
In our village we have, I believe, 2 cabinets both ADSL2+ FTTC, connected back in 2013 and 2014 and we are not on any current build out proposals.
A small minoroty of the homes in the village though seem have access to 1Gb network where the rest don't. The distance of the homes to the cabinet isn't, from my understanding, the reason, as looking at a map of the location, of those homes able to connect, is quite varied and until recently they didn't have 1Gbs access.
The only reason I can think for the change is Openreach connecting a small'ish 40 homes or so newbuild estate, and these new builds either have their own cabinet, that I've not seen or that is registarted on telecom-tariffs, or are connect via Fibre to the existing cabinets (this is where my understanding runs out on cabinets and FTTP). The reason I'm most confused though is that a seemingly random grouping/s of homes that already existed before the new builds now have 1Gbs network access, no road dug up or from what I can tell cables replaced.
I'd be grateful for an explanation in this situation.
Cheers
Sam
