Testing 5Gbps residential FTTP on Fibre Heroes network

Yeah Shifnal does seem to have been a bit forgotten in terms of pure FTTP there are pockets of Openreach FTTP and also a large presence of Virgin Media HFC.
I take it you have checked your postcode on bidb.uk ?
Plenty of pockets in Telford are still stuck on FTTC without access to Virgin cable.

Exascale seem to have stopped at Hadley and Hortonwood.

CityFibre have their head office on Central Park but haven't bothered with anything local to the office yet.

BT only seem interested in the new builds and little pockets of infill around them.

Then you look at places like Shrewsbury which have an ongoing VM expansion. Full Fibre and VX Fibre roll outs.

Zoom Fibre in Wombourne.

Full Fibre in Wem.

A friend of mine of mine in Shrewsbury has had Fibre First kit on the telegraph pole outside his house since 2020.

He still cannot place an order.

Do they just cable up areas in the hope one of the bigger boys comes in and buys them out? Seems a ridiculous time to wait.
Hi Chris,
Do you mean a Full Fibre Fibre Heroes CBT?
If you or your friend emails me at info@fttppro.co.uk the house number and postcode I can look into this and reach out to my contacts at Full Fibre

Yup your right there are pleanty of pockets in Telford with no Ultrafast options .

The VX Fiber roll out in Shrewsbury stopped around March after they were taken over by new investors no sign of it restarting.
Openreach are due to roll out across Shrewsbury this year as well.

Hi yes a pole mounted CBT.

The checker states only the first 10 addresses of his road are ready for service.

I will pass the email address onto him, thanks :)

I live in one myself and have resorted to Three 5G for big Xbox downloads. It just takes too long on 60Mbps.

We're in close proximity to new builds and there is Virgin Cable at the top of the road, although I have heard it is not particularly great around here.

Virgin do not appear to be interested in expanding and i've yet to see any local BT FTTP infill around here unlike TF4.

5G it is.
