Though thats just my speculation. It would be good to see what the official word is.

I thought the official word was "were not touching anything while people are working from home due to a pandemic", so turning it off could equally be off the cards.
I mean it seems to be working fine here but honestly now my drop wire fault is fixed, it would probably be just as fine without g.inp.

BT quoted me £50k for FTTP over a year ago. I highly doubt they'll be rolling out in the Neath Port Talbot area (South Wales) this decade, as the whole area appears to have been missed off the Fiber First map.
Once my current contract with BT expires, I'll consider Starlink, though I'm not keen on the 100W power draw of the dish, though will be infintely better speeds than my 23Mbit VDSL sync.

No Openreach FTTP planned here either, but there is at least a cityfibre rollout ongoing so I should be able to get FTTP at some point thankfully.
In your situation satellite seems a good bet or 4g might be worth a look as well.

I'm sure Openreach week cover your area with FTTP - they haven't announced all the areas they will be covering yet
Bowdon:
All the less densely populated areas around me are all in plans for FTTP.
If my area, or at least the metropolitan borough, isn't in any plans then something is going on.
It feels like we're entering a broadband version of the 4 yorkshireman conversation :)
