Bit of a weird (and frustrating) scenario here, so I'm interested to hear if anyone else has experienced the same.
Essentially BT Openreach have deemed my cabinet not commercially viable for a FTTC upgrade (I asked them back in 2012 and then again this January). So I contacted my local councillor to see if any public/BDUK funding might be available as I know they are doing some infill work in that regard. The response back was that their records suggested that my cabinet was "NGA Grey" meaning it was due to be covered as part of a commercial rollout.
Likewise the Hampshire county council website has an area where you can (allegedly) register your interest, except it blocks me from doing so because again it states that it is due a commercial upgrade before 2015.
So the problem is that not only will BT not upgrade my cabinet, but neither has it even been considered for public funding because they believe it is being done commercially.
So what I need to do is find a way of getting the public bodies to update their records to accurately reflect the situation. How can one go about this? As I say, I've already contacted my local councillor and also fired an email over to the county council team responsible for the superfast rollout.
