The ICUK website (the reseller variant of CIX) is also going to be selling FTTPoD and G.fast soon, it mentions it on their product pages (under technologies if I recall).

This may have changed recently. I filled in FluidOne's enquiry form last week -- it implies self-employed businesses are accepted.
Bowdon:
I hope more ISP's get on the FTTPoD train because if done correctly this could actually aid FTTP rollout by being able to see demand for 'Ultrafast fibre'.

As I understood it, the new pricing is supposed to adjust for the number of properties passed by the fibre. I think the reporting that the change should be cost-neutral misses this point (or perhaps only allows for an average number of properties passed).
I gather that, were I to install FTTPoD, the fibre would pass about 20 homes and businesses. I have enquiries in with Cerberus and FluidOne. I'll report back with what I find.
Ronski:
Properties passed seems to be a point of confusion, perhaps properties passed that are connectable would make more sense, it could pass a 100 properties but if the only distribution point is outside 5 houses then only 5 properties would be connectable.
To me it would make sense to install distribution points all along the route it takes where there are properties/branches that could later be utilised.
