Re: Not coming here for years yet
I'm not sure that the OpenReach guy's statement around the areas being prioritized for FTTP is correct. I live in a reasonably-sized market town in the Midlands (population c.70k) that's had FTTC for around 7 or 8 years.
Recently, OpenReach descended on the place and FTTP is now available virtually everywhere in the town (and that's after being one of the areas that was trialled for G.Fast too).
To an outsider, there appears to be little logic or reason to the areas being chosen. Presumably, it makes sense to OpenReach somehow though.
