Copper on new builds?

I moved into a brand new house before the build of the estate had even been finshed.

Out on the main road, Openreach had serviced all the street cabinets with fibre ready to go live at the exchange 4 months later. However, the brand new street cabinets just off the main road on the new estate needed new feeds pulling in. On these brand new cabinets on a brand new estate, they did this with copper. 3 or 4 years later, it remains in this state.

People out on the main road have roaring speeds whilst all the new houses do not.

In my case the router syncs up at about 4-6mbps down and 1mbps-ish up.

What were they thinking?

Re: Quick point

I don’t care if the government have sight of my text or phone calls, inviting friends for dinner or what I got up to at the weekend. The only reason that anyone should have any objection is if the texts or calls are about what store you robbed or who you punched in the face. Nothing that I say or send is anything that I really want to hide. Having something to hide is the only reason to object. If you have nothing bad to hide, who cares if they see it? Even if they look at it, it'll be deemed as boring trivial crap of no consequence or interest.
