FTTP whinge
« on: September 30, 2016, 05:04:44 PM »
Hi :D

So... I'm about to move house again and once again, I see the exchange is enabled for FTTP but when I specify my actual postcode and house number I get punted to the FTTC page.

WTAF?

Does this product even exist? :P
I want a 5 ping in game!!!

There are I think 2 exchanges in the entire country that are FTTP only. All the others are bits of both.

The best route to a ping like that is moving to a Hyperoptic apartment block or emigration :)

Sorry to keep flogging a dead horse but...




Can I definitely not get FTTPoD? :D

I found this number in another thread: 0800 587 4787

Gonna give 'em a bell tomorrow.

are you actually prepared to pay the really exorbitant costs associated with FTTPoD

I don't know what the costs are so probably no but I am that guy who usually goes to the lengths others will not... for the most trivial of things like getting a better ping :P

So, I rang 0800 587 4787 who said I must speak to Openreach direct for a mega quote.

He kindly gave me this number: 0800 032 3032


...which appears to be a black hole. Keeps asking for a DUNS ID, whatever that might be.
I assume it's the DUNS ID of registered CPs?

I did ask the first guy if they would speak to end users... :D


This is all a bit poor tbh.
Please get it sorted and consider keeping us donkeys, the potential customer updated so we don't run around all shapes making pointless phone calls, etc :D

Throwing a post out on ISPreview or whatever doesn't count btw :P

That price list does say BT Business Infinity, I think any company could have a DUNS ID. But it's not for home users.

So it is, missed that.

Well it's still 36 months but only £100 a month according to here which oldjim linked to earlier but I missed the yearly rental price.
