Unrelated to Virgin, the first FTTP hitting my area is from the relative minnows Netomnia, the retail ISP being Youfibre. They’ll offer you symmetrical 8 gig for the princely sum of 100 pounds per month. They’re clearing Openreach ducts and stringing their poles imminently. I’ve heard horror stories of it being 2 to 3 years before it becomes available.

Virgin will overlay their HFC with FTTP at an unknown point.

Openreach are saying 2026.

My 5G from Three at £3 per month will do. Anything from 200 to 500 meg depending on who is hanging around and an RT-AC86U will serve me well to 2026.
