Hi Paul,

Great news on the first 50 homes being connected. Does this mean they're "live" or that they just have everything in place ready for a provider to use the connection? More importantly is there any news on provider(s) or pricing?

The latest e-mail update says that these homes "will showcase the cababilities of the Fibrecity infrastructure", does this mean that while we're all waiting we'll be able to see it in action somehow?

In the meantime I can thoroughly recommend the use of an i-Plate for those with an NTE5 socket. My connection immediately increased from 2.5Mb/s to just over 3.5Mb/s - still way off the "up to 8Mb/s" but worth the £10 for the plate.

Dan.
