Have PN got fibre in my area

The cabinet has been there for a while
So was wondering if Plusnet have been put in it yet Wink
If not, is there any proposed dates as & when this could happen Smiley

Re: Have PN got fibre in my area

I have done & all it says is FTTC is available in some areas, (does not mention which areas or which suppliers)
Hence why I am asking on here

It doesn't show FTTC even though BT has already rolled it out to the neighbours

Re: Have PN got fibre in my area

@TORPC
Have you tried to use the address version of the checker given below and tried the addresses for the neighbours either side of your property?
This was how I proved a fault in the BTOR database but I had to give the evidence to Plusnet who then got BTOR to correct the database. I used the addresses from the 6 houses before mine, the 3 opposite and the 3 after mine to prove that my house had not been categorised correctly. All properties were on the same cabinet and had fttp available except mine.
Worth the effort to check and get the evidence for Plusnet to action if that is the situation.
Ex - Plusnet Customer (2009 - 2023) now with BT

I used the postcode finder of the checker
The FTTC cabinet has been placed on the opposite side of the RD which is further away than the ADSL cabinet since approx Nov - Dec 2013
Yet ironically the closest cabinet is VM (less than 20ft away)

Re: Have PN got fibre in my area

So now put your neighbours numbers (who you say can get FTTC) into the DSL checker as see if it gives the same cabinet number as it shows at the top of your own result and what it says about their service options.  ( different houses on the same post code can be on different cabinets)
I suppose in these days you don't know their numbers.....

Re: Have PN got fibre in my area

I find that all the time with the postcode checker. I find the address checker sometimes gives better results

Re: Have PN got fibre in my area

I don't know their landline numbers, so will have to find out Wink
& the above do not use door numbers
It is not a case of they can, it is a case that they are on BT FTTC, however as we already know that not all Cabinets are released to other ISP's as BT hogs some for themselves

We know nothing of the sort!
I suggest you read up a bit on how FTTC is deployed...
