When Will Vodafone CityFibre FTTP be Available in my Area?

I remember reading a news article here last year saying the exclusivity deals for Cityfibre in Newcastle were ending and you could order any of the big three providers (TalkTalk, Vodafone, Zen) as long as the cables are laid and service active in your street.

The Cityfibre cables are laid, service active and orderable, but only for TalkTalk.

The Vodafone checker says no mention of orderable and only offers FTTC. I just went onto the live chat with them and they say they have no info if or when the service will be available with them.

CityFibre customer service are useless and always say wait and see. Given you guys seem to have ways of finding out things regular people don't (hence all the news articles each day) is there anyway you could find out when Vodafone will be available in already live areas in Newcastle East?

Thanks
 
I think you mean this article?


Newcastle isn't named in the initial group at the bottom, so I'd assume it would follow in the group that will go live by April 2022.
 
Any possible follow up on this as its April now and nothing I can see anywhere about them going live across the country.

So at the moment they're saying this: "We are making great progress with our deployments with both OpenReach and CityFibre and we’re on target to meet our Spring ambitions."

I'm trying to clarify whether they now mean by the end of April or the end of Spring.
 
Well I can say it wasn't the end of April as its May now and still nada.

It is insane that after 5 full months the only ISP offered in eastern Newcastle is TalkTalk and that is with seemingly no exclusivity contract in place either. Just all the other ISPs don't seem to want it.

TT may be the only ISP that has backhaul enabled to the various CityFibre FEX's.

Other ISP's over CityFibre may be patiently waiting for CityFibre to complete the connection of their National Access network which would enable an ISP to have onward connections without having to install their own backhaul at each FEX.
