FTTP Trooli and EE

[jojim]

Hi all, 

I live in an area where over the last year a company called City Fibre have been installing FFTP by digging up the pavements. The lane I live in wasn't done apparently due to our power and telephone are all delivered by overhead wire. The lane is very old, there are no pavements. 

In the last week a company called Trooli have been installing boxes attached to the telegraph poles, my wife had a conversation with one of the workman who said there was a delay due to various permissions that were needed but very soon we should have the ability to have FTTP.

My question is will EE have access to the newly installed infrastructure so we can have FTTP without changing supplier or will we have to change to Trooli? If I remember correctly we had a conversation with an EE workman well before FTTP started in our area who stated once fast broadband was available they would automatically connect to it, but I tend to take that sort of information with a pinch of salt. I'm currently on Full Works: Fibre 36 and paying nearly £90 a month for about 12Mbs download.

Thanks

No, EE uses only the Openreach infrastructure network which is different. Trooli & CityFibre are something else.

What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker estimate for your landline number? Post 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.

Yes you can only get FTTC there from EE & other OR ISPs.
