John, I did say could have, it could be that they've installed a closer aggregation node or maybe not

Not sure what that is...
But this is the new green cab that appeared on the development.
((I'm connected to CAB55 about 800/900M further down the lane from this one,

That's just a boggo standard PCP cabinet, is it not?

Yes, it is a Primary Cross-connection Point.

1. I was part of the first phase on the development Feb 2017, all are sold(100), they are now on phase 2.

A few years ago when Openreach first started offering FTTP at no additional cost to developers, the threshold was a minimum of 100 homes. This threshold was lowered to 30 homes in from Nov 2016 so it may have been your developer had already requested copper from Openreach before Nov 2016. I'm sure you know well that developers will always take the cheapest option and copper was cheaper than FTTP at the time from Openreach

TBH I would just be grateful that you've at least got FTTC, there's many horror stories of new build buyers stuck with a sub 3 Mbps ADSL service even in recent times.

That's because the system will not allow an FTTPoD offer unless the serving PCP is enabled for Fibre.
So until the FTTC cabinet is live you can't order FTTPoD.

Thanks Everyone.  That's something I will consider then, if I want to futureproof my house with the FTTP. But knowing me, I may just end up bonding a could of VDSLs together like I did with ADSL - it worked very well!
