Sky do I know that much. I think BT do as well on FTTP, a lot of the Openreach network is ready for IPoE now.
That's promising then. Ideally I want to go with Zen business but PPPoE would take some rejigging on my part I'd rather avoid if I can.
Thanks. I'll have to check whether that carries over to TT Business, but I'm rather reluctant to sign up with TT compared to... most.

TT Business are a solid choice, they're a very different beast to TT Residential.
I’ve been with talk talk for years and never had a problem and their network is solid. The price has always been extremely competitive.
GFast is to your local cabinet, not the exchange. How far away is the cabinet?

They should revert back to my old 12 month contract on ultrafast+.
its about 160m away
So that’s why you can get GFast. Sadly it also means you’re unlikely to get FTTP any time soon.
why is it unlikely ill be getting fttp soon? ive been on the openreach website and put in my post code, and it says fttp is coming to my area?
it doesnt really matter as im moving house soon to a place with only fttc, no gfast but thats fine

Because it's unlikely they will overbuild an area that already has better than standard FTTC installed
on the openreach website it says full fibre is coming to my area though
Not sure there's any correlation there. I know of an area that took until June 2019 to get FTTC, then got G.fast in 2020 and was upgraded to FTTP three weeks ago.
Decisions over whether to deploy FTTP are based around the cost of doing it, and the local competition.
If anyone has had Openreach FTTP installed recently, which is delievered by a pole have they installed a Openreach CSP box or have they gone straight from pole to where it needs to go?
As for me, the current line doesn't go anywhere near ground level, I guess I will find out in a few weeks. On another good bit of news, we also have another provider building into the area which offers solutions upto 10Gb and it seems cheaper then O/R providers offers.
