Chineham was always going to get it.... the Basingstoke fibre runs down from Reading along the A33 pretty much straight through it

Fibre goes through my town also and ive spoke to lightning but it fell on deaf ears

MrIca · 13-07-2016, 10:17

Still not much expansion in North West England for some reason.

Which part of the country are you in?

jb66 · 13-07-2016, 19:36

I'm in Scotland, there is a cab 1 mile south of my house and a cab 1 mile east. To join the cab up there are pits and some houses even have tees.

Not as simple as physical network, all depends on where you would be served from and whats required in the technical environment. There is a lot of expansion planned in Scotland this year and into next including some seriously impressive FTTH expansion. Watch this space!

Good to hear.

Hopefully be able to get the FTTP stuff in West Yorkshire underway at some point, seems to have been delayed.

The Middleton build started in May-ish of last year is 85-90% done but stalled currently.

Middleton is HFC build and has been in design/deploy for a few years now. This pre-dates project lightning by some considerable time. There is quite a bit in West Yorkshire planned but not in areas that would surprise you.

Bit of infil around Bebington might be nice, Infinity cabinets are full so plenty of pent up demand

Bit of infill around Wirral in general would be nice! But yes, Bebongton would seem easy as it's all coming from the industrial estate in Bromborough anyway. Heswall wouldn't be too difficult either, they've got empty ducting running to it from Neston. Parts of Meols, Moreton and Parkgate have ducts and tees to the houses even.

Ah yes, the more laid back part of town

But more seriously, yes, the Wirral does seem ripe for a rollout.

Indeed it is HFC. Was planned a bit before VM got the hang of FTTP and started build last year.

Pre-dated Lightning but rolled into it later on.

I'm aware of much of the stuff in West Yorkshire - the villages to the east of Leeds are next I believe and they are going to be FTTP.

Held up now waiting on a couple of different things before releasing some more homes. Build will likely carry on a bit at a time for a couple of years yet.

The bit I'm looking forward to seeing includes a very awkward part of London alongside a large town that's currently unserved in the South-East.
