FTTP on Demand - whos got it?

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 09:46

It mean you got FTTPoD (more expensive one) but where is FTTC Line Rate?

ChrisD. · 7 Aug 2017 at 09:52

I've got FTTC already, wouldn't mine 330/30 though!

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 09:55

You can try ask isp for FTTPoD 330/30 quote but you will end up over thousand of pounds installation and distance charges plus over £300 monthly charges. Both are excluded vat. Good luck with that.

How would I find out where my closest aggregation node is?

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 11:15

U can't! Only if the engineer will know (Openreach) but they won't tell you unless u placed an order first.

ChrisD. · 7 Aug 2017 at 11:16

I'll ask my mate to see if he can see the info (he's an Openreach engineer).

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 11:18

No, your mate can't because it need authorised order approved before he see anything. Without it, he not allow or lose his job.

The only way to get it from the ISP who will give u a quote of distance band charges A-K then you will know how far from aggregation node below:

Here is quote from cerberusnetworks as it seem lots cheaper than fluidone who will be charged at £300 plus vat a month but cerberusnetworks only charged at £87.50 plus vat a month.
I was surprise I am on Band B distance based charge (between 200m and 399m NGA Aggregation Node.

cerberusnetworks told me it only charged for FTTP Pro 2 after activated with FTTPoD in this way. So, won't have to pay more than £300 plus vat service charges from other isp such as fluidone.

Thanks, will take a look!

ChrisD. · 7 Aug 2017 at 13:59

Well Cerbus got in touch within 5 minutes of submitting a form and are able to email me a quote, just waiting on it now. Haven't heard from Fluid yet. I'm pretty tempted depending on the price, I'm a contractor so I could put it through my Ltd company.

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 14:04

More likely bt will reject cerbus order for any FTTPoD at £87.50 exc vat monthly service charge because BT wholesale will not accepted this because of FTTP pricing not FTTPoD. It's will get rejected once the order went through.

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 14:05

All FTTPoD are expecting anything from £300 exc vat monthly charge not less.

ChrisD. · 7 Aug 2017 at 14:26

Fluid have been in touch, apparently I'm in band F which means installation would be £6875. Not paying that!

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 16:34

I thought it was £5250 (inc VAT) for band F according to openreach price list.

Band F 1000m 1499m Note 2 01/05/2014 4,375.00 (exc VAT)

Of course you add a bit on top for your own profit! Lol.

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 16:39

Bloody greed!

ChrisD. · 7 Aug 2017 at 18:38

Up to £2k I could probably stomach and sub £100 a month, but not nearly £7k plus over £300 a month. Will wait and see what Cerbusnetworks come back with.

bulldog147 · 7 Aug 2017 at 19:13

Cerbusnet will have your FTTPoD for £87.50 a month exc VAT but once the order go through to BT, it will rejected anyway because it only for FTTP pricing not FTTPoD because BT want £300 a month exc VAT for 3 years for FTTPoD.
