Re: [LUG] Updated data for FTTC in Devon & Somerset

 
Well, that is frustrating for me, too.Â

On these maps, my home is covered by "Commercially covered" which means the regional funders running that site cannot help fund rollout.

So I go to openreach who have the area is "Exchange upgrade being evaluated as part of a government funded programme."

So... BT want funding to do it (They're doing the town the exchange is in, Bovey - just not my nearest village and home of my Cab, Hennock), and the funders say they can't fund it because there's a commercial interest. I don't know who that commercial interest is - any idea how to find out?

And to rub salt into the wounds, about 300 meters down the valley, they're on the "Getting it soon" list. Tempting to run some cat5e along the hedges...

Hello Gordon,

And joy of joys.... I'm in a thin strip of "Out of Program". A strip
litreally 30 metres wide bordered by big areas of "Under Consideration".

Although my area of "out of program" is wider than yours, the surrounding
area of "under consideration" is specious. ÂWhy? ÂBecause it carefully
selects areas with no residential properties in and avoids the villages
and hamlets where properties actually exist and are occupied.

A lot is to do with the number of houses each cabinet supplies - or has the potential to supply. So knowing where your cabinet is and what it supplies is handy.

They would get a nice juicy FTTP order from me if they were doing my cabinet.

But you never know - they might change their minds - maybe.
