Get a FTTP line alongside FTTC line?

[#1]

All right, not going any, umm, deeper into this for now anyway.

And to Rob, hmmm that phrase rings a bell in another capacity which escapes me just now.

thanks all

I asked Gemini AI this "Explain Openreach Full Fibre architecture"

This is the result https://g.co/gemini/share/1bc31d0e21ab 

Hope it helps

gpon Fibre is not daisy chained ..

There is an optical spitter (prism i believe) to feed the download light to the 32 fibres ( a unit of 32 is a pon) and a combiner (probably the same unit) to combine 32 upstream light paths. note typically less than 30 streams are used per pon by bt.

Each fibre in the pon is assigned to a uprn 

The fibres are then fed to cbts either underground/overground and recently with micro cbts into mdus and on sides of buildings.

None of this really matters in how your full fibre internet connection works.

Fibre is available if I wanted it, but 40/10 FTTC is more than adequate. I can't see Openreach being in any hurry to start widescale recovery of the D side (cab to home) cables.
