Zen even have two FTTP suppliers as they also sell openreach FTTP.

Zen actually use 4 suppliers for FTTP. CityFibre and Openreach handing off at layer 2 to their Plexus network and BT Wholesale and TalkTalk Business handing off PPP sessions via BRAS.

Surely that's still only two suppliers for the actual FTTP as that's the bit from the ONT to the OLT. Anything past that point I'd consider something else.
Chrysalis:
Ok I filled in the cityfibre form asking them to provide more info and they rang me back this morning.
Sadly been told its a year "minimum" before they do my street. So at least I know where I stand now, and plans to move might resume.
They have pretty much started works in all other areas of the city close to it except my side, so I was hoping it would be sooner, but seems thats not the case, I prefer knowing this however instead of checking the roadworks every week with false hope.
Zen I think were a bit wrong to send me the coming soon email to get me onto vdsl with them when its still a year plus away, but it is what it is.
Bowdon:
As you say @Chrysalis at least you have a time frame now.
1 or even 2 years isn't a long time to wait compared to other places.
My area isn't on any lists from any network provider so far, so you're doing well.
Chrysalis:
True its better than by 2024/2025.
Plus I know I will be able to get proper gigabit up and down.
