[This topic has been created by splitting the posts off from the Fibre First rollout Ramsgate and Broadstairs thread.]Think yourself lucky it's on its way to you!!
Slightly off topic but... As I live in Monkton, away from the main village I'm not likely to see any FTTP for the next few years at least, but as there are 10 addresses in my area all under 30Mbps I'm in the process of finding out if a Community Fibre Partnership is feasible and cost effective (should only require a cable run with no digging as ducts were cleared/repaired last year for fibre to run past us to another village, and CBTs - there's already joints in the right places that can probably be used!), so hoping the cost is reasonable*.
So far I have 5 addresses that are really keen to support and we should be able to access the £7k (per property) rural gigabit vouchers to cover the costs. Fingers crossed!
*Acol was quoted around £120k for 115 premises and that area is quite a complex mix of underground and overhead, with cables running from both Birchington and Manston (by Minster roundabouts). Been a lot of digging just to get cables to Acol by the looks of things too! Amazed it was 'only' £120k!
