Fibre in my area this month?

I'm located in Withernsea (HU19 postcode) and samknows says fibre will be available in my area at the end of this month!
I'm extremely interested in this if it's going to be available (and especially in potential upload speeds available to me on fibre). I was wondering if some member of staff could check this out for me? If it will be available, when is the soonest I can sign up for it and get this sorted? Also, what is the project upload speed for my area on the new fibre service?
Cheers,
Steve

You won't be able to see any estimated speeds until fibre is actually available.
However do keep checking the link that Oldjim has posted and I hope fibre makes it way to you soon!

Oldjim's link says that I can get 1.5mb/s upload in my area but I only get 0.7mb/s at best. Is there any way for me to improve that?
Cheers,
Steve

Quote from: StephenF It says FTTP will also be available, do plusnet provide an FTTP service or just FTTC?
If FTTC is available, it is likely to be FTTP on Demand, which is very expensive and not something we actively offer. Though we could probably do it with a business account. However, on the off chance that it's standalone FTTP then we would offer connection speeds to match our FTTC packages (e.g. 80/20 or 40/20).
Hope this helps.

FTTC sounds fine then, i'll go with that once fiber is here.
It was for Annex M yes, how can I go about getting such a connection? In terms of download speed reduction, are the implications severe? And how much more does it cost? Would you say i'm just better off waiting for the fiber connection?
Cheers,
Steve

There was a thread on this forum about it a few weeks ago, but can't find it now - maybe someone else remembers and can find it?

Adam Walker's response there on 19 November was:
"Really sorry to see our systems have scuppered you when trying to signup.
We do fully understand that some people such as yourself may have a Hull postcode but might live in an area that isn't served by KC.
There's evidently a fault with some of the logic in our signup process related to this so we've reported the problem internally. "
Maybe the fault has been sorted? Maybe a member of Plusnet staff could clarify the current situation?

I hadn't realised the OP was an existing customer. Hopefully there won't be a problem.
Strange - link works for me...

Clearly I made a mistake. I didn't realise only current Plusnet customers could register on these forums, for which I humbly apologise and give a reverential bow to the superior knowledge of 'brightspark' jelv.
Then again, I guess the OP could have been a former customer who was still a forum member... But no, I hadn't checked the OPs previous posts, which I suppose I could have done.
Sometimes the attitude of longstanding forum members to those of us who are relatively new/infrequent posters leaves a lot to be desired...
Not the most welcoming of communities...
Like I say, I was just trying to be helpful. Not sure I will bother again.
