New build - How to order fibre?

[Walter Sobchak]

Hi guys,

I'm guessing the answer is to order standard internet and then upgrade however figured I'd check I'm not missing a trick or anything...

A new build property I'm in the process of buying (complete in ~10 days) has apparently got FTTP fitted by Openreach but when doing speed checkers based purely on the postcode/address it's showing as no fibre available and only ever being offered standard broadband. Is there anything I can do to get fibre packages made available at this stage or is the answer as above to order standard bb and then upgrade at a later date? Any networks better than others in this sort of scenario?

Many thanks in advance

Edit: House number 80 which is round the corner from my house shows FTTP available. My house number shows up on the address checker but with no fibre options...

Good luck with this, I had to get the local MP to help because BT didn't want to know nor did openreach. My property was a new build and all surrounding properties could order http.

It was an absolute nightmare and took 6months to sort out.

So I'm now able to order FTTP and have got my order in with BT.

A friends business is responsible for managed services for businesses and managed to resolve everything through his business contacts (believe this was done under the pretense that I was a business wanting a line installed). If it wasn't for this friend I have no idea how I would have got this resolved tbh!
