Black Sheep works for Openreach/BT, he's hardly going to be impartial. I am not impartial either, what I really don't like is coming on here and shutting down anyone with an opposing POV that isn't whoop whoop BT. It's one of the reasons I hardly come here anymore, as I really do feel at times my opinion isn't valued or responded to in a sensible manner.

Just my opinion...

Most people would have spent most of the last decade on oversubscribed ADSL without FTTC.

The Openreach FTTP rollout is only going as quick and efficient as it is because the FTTC rollout was deliberately built with future FTTP in mind. The network is basically built to the Agg Node already.

At it's time FTTC was a quick win and the right choice for a few years.
They stuck to that for too many years though.

Not doing FTTP to new builds much earlier was a big failing.
G.Farce was a failure.
Being dragged to a late large scale FTTP rollout by Virgin's project lightning and aggressive Alt-Net FTTP investment/deployment was a big failure.

Genuinely a very good and balanced post - thank you for responding to me and not condescending me as BS has done. 10/10 post.
