Can I take part in the FTTP Trial?

Fibre to the Cabinet
First up, check This Link to see if your exchange has an FTTC date.
Next up check the FTTC Checker to see if your cabinet has been upgraded.  If all is well, you will see something similar to the following:
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 22Mbps and upstream line speed of 9.9Mbps.
Once the Availability checker confirms that you can receive FTTC, you should do the following:
Read the FTTC Terms and Conditions
Read the FTTC FAQ

Finally, once you've gone through all the legal bumpf, you'll need to raise a ticket here asking to be put on the trial.

Fibre to the Premises
You will need to check out this thread for details, including whether your exchange is enabled.  At this point, only a couple of exchanges are being used for the FTTP trial.

Important note:  This is a trial, and as such things can go wrong.  This may leave you without a working internet connection for several days.  Please only go on the trial if you are willing to accept that things may go wrong.
Cheers
B.

Hi Folks,
We've now closed the residential FTTC trial to any new applicants. Residential customers wishing to have an FTTC connection will now be directed to www.plus.net/fibre to sign up for the new residential FTTC products.
