Can anyone enlighten me regarding an issue we have in our village around FTTC/VDSL and clarify my understanding?
Our Village is served almost entirely by a single PCP Cabinet. There are 2 FTTC cabinets one owned by CallFlow and one by Openreach.
CallFlow no longer use their Cabinet and no longer provide any VDSL services as they are focusing on the Trooli Full Fibre network which is not available in our area either.
Openreach have active VDSL customers from BT, TalkTalk, Sky and Plusnet but will not allow any new connections as they claim that a competitor has a cabinet and due to Ofcom guidelines they have to shut down their services. As such none of the Carriers that use Openreach can offer NEW VDSL services.
So in effect no one in the village is able to get a new VDSL service from any carrier.
My question is what competition could Openreach be referring to, I assume it must be callflow but why would Ofcom regulations stop them offering VDSL services to the other Carriers from the Openreach cabinet?
I understand that OpenReach manage the access network but who owns and manages the VDSL Modems/DSLAMs? Is it Openreach and they grant access to the various CPs directly or is it BT Wholesale who then pass on the service via WLR?
I just need to figure out how to get Openreach to re-instate the VDSL service offering to the CPs.
Any help or guidance greatly received
