Nice easy rural exchange to start with, 1,800 copper lines took 26 months to convert to full fibre.

They could of found issues in your area, so have pushed it back! Not good! 

Hopefully not. They were clearing ducts and replaced a chamber. I know Map Group did do some cabling work a little further up the road. But I haven't seen anything since they finished up doing the poles further down the road.

Edit: It's back to showing "We're building in this area now" 

Maybe he lives close to max.

Lol, I am actually not that far away from where he is. Not in Telford but not far away.

Maybe he lives close to max.

Hmm, the Openreach checker has gone from "We are building in the area now" to "We have no plans to build Full Fibre to this property yet". Anyone else had this happen? Seems a bit weird to do quite a bit of work and then not roll out. Unless the checker is updating? Clutching at straws a bit.

I haven't signed up VM yet!  cos I just scary of VM badly congestion

Max there is a 14 day cooling off period, that lets you see how well its performing, if you see congestion, then cancel within the 14 days with no penalty.

The work wasn't cancelled until forever. We were, again, told it had been cancelled, though this time poles not being removed, when there was actually a meeting between Openreach and community/local representatives that we weren't told about and, surprisingly given the earlier email and victory, Max wasn't either it seems.

The meeting was apparently fine. Openreach apparently assuaged the locals' concerns and the build has apparently been scheduled to proceed using the poles as soon as is practical.

Yes, 'apparently' was used a lot there. For obvious reasons. Hopefully it'll all go smoothly so that we don't see any more uninformed, fatalist fiction at the slightest hint of issues.

Given the OP has a history of asking people why they need anything faster than whatever he has at the time, both when it was regular FTTC and now it's G.fast, I look forward to them ordering an excessively fast service way beyond their pretty light requirements to push that number people shouldn't have anything faster than higher in turn. 

I do believe Openreach will go ahead with the poles installing start after xmas for all the rest of Woodside, cos I heard from my neighbour the meeting went well. No objects now. But I didn't attend the meeting because there is no letter, no warning poles from Openreach/council planning.

I know I can see some poster on lamp-post with ref number but never find anything from the local council.

Anyway I look forward to xmas now (not the depression mood) and after xmas they might come to install poles in my area TF7 5NT hopefully to shut me up and order FTTP 900/115. But I more likely to cease G.fast and keep one FTTC active for couple more months until FTTP settle down.

And my polite to ask you XGS_Is_On - when is poles coming to TF7 5NT? As you might know it more than I do. I can see there is one job left now at Park Lane Install approx. 7m duct in footway this week.
