2 months ago Openreach started laying FTTP cable to the post outside my house. I got excited (I get 13Mb/0.5Mb on FTTC at the moment) so contacted Openreach to find out when it would be available and was told July......2020.
They are seriously rubbish if it takes 18 months from laying cable to actually supplying a connection.
And the cable is still attached to the pole with yellow packing tape and not behind any trunking, I be surprised if it lasts.....
