Having just returned to the UK after forty years in Australia I am confused about the types of broadband on offer, and can't match them to what is being done in our street.
According to the Openreach Fibre Checker we can get Standard Broadband, which I take to be the plain ADSL that we have installed, Superfast Fibre, which our ISP Plusnet sells in two flavours and is, I think, Fibre to the Cabinet, and we can't get Ultrafast FullFibre.
I have yet to see any big green boxes in the village, and there are now two small plastic lids in the pavement outside our house, rumoured to be three shortly. I can't match these lids to any of the technologies listed. I've looked for examples of these lids in image searches but all I see is green boxes and big pits.
Can anyone enlighten me?
