New lines outside house - can I upgrade wifi

Bonkers48 — Wed, 10 May 2023 21:16:58 GMT

I’ve recently had mail from Vodafone saying that my house now has access to full fibre broadband. I’m currently on broadband plus giving me download speed of approx 48mbps.

I recently seen technicians working on the telephone lines out back of my house (we don’t have cable here).

I live in a village on the outskirts of Edinburgh and we do not have access to modern cable (underground). We still rely on overhead cables - but there has definitely been an upgrade as seen workmen link new thicker cables to the overhead link to my house.

how do I find out if I’m now eligible for full fibre broadband??

What EE BB product do you have at the mo'?

What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker estimate for your phone number? Post just the whole table and the line above it, blanking out your phone number. If it doesn't recognise your phone number or you don't have one, use the Address Checker.

@Bonkers48 Vodafone use City Fibre and other suppliers so much will depend on who you saw working on the lines where you may get this new service. If it was Openreach then you will see the option on EE's site or on the BTW checker.

Otherwise you may need to look at a comparison site or Ofcom.

CityFibre's site will tell you all the ISP's supplying their Full Fibre BB in your area.
