--- Quote ---OR has added 551 new UK cities and towns to the rollout plan for their gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network. The latest batch of locations accounts for a total of 5 million extra premises, all of which will be upgraded as part of their £15bn project to cover 25 million premises by December 2026.
Virtually all of today’s additions are focused on urban or suburban areas, stretching from Bournemouth, in Dorset, Dunfermline, in Scotland, Kettering, in the East Midlands, to Sunderland in the North East, and Wrexham, in Wales.

Bowdon:
FTTP is creeping towards my area. One of the big towns next to me, Rochdale, is now on the list, as well as the other sub exchanges of Heywood and Littleborough.
I'm not sure if my exchange will eventually come under Rochdale or Oldham. I'm thinking Oldham as though I've got a Rochdale area code the exchange post code is in Oldham.
I wonder if these lists are coming out once a month?

Openreach added 551 locations for FTTP including Telford between 2021 and 2026:
Telford and Wrekin Dawley Yes
Telford and Wrekin Hollinswood Yes
Telford and Wrekin Newport Yes
Telford and Wrekin Oakengates Yes
Telford and Wrekin Cuckoo Oak is left out between 2021-2026 – I am fuming! I hate you Openreach!
After 12 months contract has expired, I will downgraded to FTTC 40/10 and stay there forever! I don't care anymore as I hate internet now. :D

They have made a right balls up of the map update, locations where a build was starting or underway now lumped back into the by 2026 category. Areas just announced by 2025 talk about vague...
It would be nice if the map was more accurate, I appreciate the need for commercial sensitivity and all that but please; its 2021 Openreach are the major player and I doubt they have to worry too much about being overbuilt or gazumped - the bit players will be amalgamated or acquired as the rollout progresses.
