Got direct email from Openreach for my area
Good Morning Mr ***********,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I tried calling the number you provided (01952******) to discuss your enquiry but wasn't able to get through.
I have taken a look at our records and I can see that we do have plans to upgrade some parts of the Madeley and Woodside areas to full fibre although we do not currently have any plans that cover your property. Our full fibre upgrade work tends to be planned for a small number of streets at a time and it is very unusual for plans to be made for an entire town or suburb to be upgraded under as single project.
We can't given out any specific information on why a given area is or is not included in our current plans as this would include sensitive commercial information but I can tell you that we take many factors into account including but not limited to, the time and cost of any required engineering work, the services currently available in the area, the number of additional properties for which service would be provided, and any likely problems obtaining permissions to work in the required areas.
Openreach are committed to providing full fibre to 25 million homes by 2026 so it is most likely we will expand our plans to include your property in the future.
We don't have any plans to upgrade your area right now, but we can keep you up to date when things change. To receive any future updates please go to our fibre checker, input your postcode, chose your address from the drop down, then scroll past the availability information and complete the Gigabit Fibre form and we’ll update you once plans change.

If you want to bring fibre to your property sooner there is an option you could look into
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) on Demand, FTTP on demand is a product which a few select service providers offer, which will give you a full-fibre FTTP broadband, as a bespoke installation direct to your premises. It is available across the UK – even in areas that cannot reliably get FTTC.
Fibre on Demand differs from standard FTTP in a number of important ways. As the fibre is delivered to your premises as a custom build, a substantial installation. G.fast are available at your property. If you would like to look into this option you’ll need to contact a service provider to place an order.
You can find a list of service providers on this link, just scroll down the page and click on demand
