Hi Lee
Got your PM, mate.
As mooted earlier in the thread, there are the odd PON's dotted about built in Blyth, but I noticed there was a lot of 'red' colouring* on our ORION tool which indicates 'Survey created'.
There has been a helluva lot more red been added since I last looked, and that includes your own postcode area.
You asked the question about when it will be available ?? That is more or less impossible to say unless you are part of the build team in Blyth who will have a glidepath to work from, with subsequent dates regarding on-site surveys to take place, planning, civils, cabling & splicing, testing and commissioning. This is approximately a 10-week process from start to end, plus the Xmas period where our contractors tend to stand down for a week or two ...... plus the fact that like I say, the survey estimate has only just been created and hasn't physically started the process.
But .... the good news is that it is on its way to you, but I'd probably say it's going to be approximately 3 months off yet ?? Purely guess work ... could be slightly longer ??.
* We have various life-cycle colours on our survey tool - its easier to see a wider geographical area and its current status.
