Once you see Openreach up poles or down ducts, it's usually 1-3 months before it gets enabled. The Openreach site will email you months after it's actually available for order, so just keep checking BT.com as that seems to be the first place that gets updated.
Thanks. As you say, calling 80Mbps "fibre" was a joke.

They are now calling their own "fibre" HALF FIBRE essentially, idiots.

We get served via overhead cables around here, do they replace the cabling going from pole to house as people sign up or do they just put up new poles in advance?

Thanks.
