I live in an ordinary house in Milton Keynes, and City Fibre put the network in about 18 months ago, I have a large range of providers to choose from, but on 2 can be a***d, to send me junk mail. The box is 5 metres from the house, and I have no idea what happens if I order, will my front driveway be dug up, can they access the BT duct or the MKTV duct? So until one of them explains this on their website, I shall stay with FTTC.
