My daughter lives in London. The street in which she lives is served by OpenReach only; with no VirginMedia nearby. FTTP is available as is ADSL - no FTTC. Her service from BT is awful - <8Mbps down <0.9 up and nothing (no broadband) when it rains. She has pestered BT for FTTP for the last 18 months. Promises, promises but no date for delivery.
I understand that neighbours cannot get new services as "there are too many wires on the phone pole". It seems the pole cannot support more wires.
Looking at Google streetview I can see several houses in the street with as many as 3, 4 or even 5 wires running from the phone pole to houses. Many of the houses are divided into flats so 2 or 3 services (wires) per house might be what's required.
Have any readers heard of a limitation on the number of wires per pole and what suggestions do you have to resolve this? 4G LTE is in use but performance is not good.
Oh yes - there are 4 people in the house - all trying to work from home.
