I would welcome you too except, being new here, it would be presumptuous.
Your post sparked me to discover that I am eligible for FTTP, which was not the case a month ago. Having an exchange_only line in an urban area, FTTC was not a possibility.
As far as I can discover, a site survey happens after an FTTP order is placed. Is it possible to place an FTTP order contingent on the survey, perhaps by paying for the survey in advance, with a refund if the order is confirmed? My current drop wire crosses 5 gardens and goes through the foliage of a large tree to the back of the house. I might want to proceed if the result was to replace the drop wire with a copper/fibre one, but not proceed if they propose to dig up the pavement and garden, and enter at the front of the house.
