Full Fibre

[Gratias]

I've been told that when my current contract ends (I’m on Fibre 36 Essentials) I will have to move to Full Fibre; This was news to me.

My situation is that I have no direct line of view to the nearest telegraph pole and, since 1980, I seem to have used the same copper wire as my immediate neighbour. There was just the one wire, so my phone must have been split off at some point on my neighbour’s property and then run under our eaves. Last year 2 more wires ran from the telegraph pole to my neighbour’s property. At least one must have been for full fibre.

I’ve spoken to my neighbour just the once. He’s a recent occupant. There is no dispute with him. I do not feel I can ask him what the two additional wires are for.

So, I have reservations about being able to go Full Fibre technically. And if that’s the case, where does it leave me?

Did I manage to send the table correctly?

Was there anything in it of importance?

@Gratias The table shows you are in a Full Fibre and the connection is available, how OR get's that to you OH cabled is down to them even if the Anchor it on the other part off the building! If you re contract more than likely you will be pushed FF connection!

@JimM11

I'm familiar with OH = OverHead. I assume OR = OpenReach

I was more than pushed FF.   No option.

Thanks for the help, all of you. 

With all these badges I've accumulated I feel like im back in the scouts. Is there one for a knotty problem solved?

[JimM11]

@Gratias FF = Full Fibre, ie FTTP fibre to the premises ie your home to the exchange with all the interconnect in between, spines and branches, that OR Openreach have used to plan how it got to the home!

That badge you get later further down when you runout off room for them all!

 Yes, you could get FTTP there. It will be supplied to you overhead, probably by the same route FTTC comes, but OR will eventually decide the route.

However, if you don't recontract or make any other changes, you should be able to stay on your current FTTC 36 Meg plan. Otherwise you will be forced to FTTP.

My house had no line of sight to a pole. Openreach put an additional pole in just for my house. It took a few weeks but they sorted it all out without me getting involved.
