I was notified today that the trial is finished and plus net is no longer going to continue with FTTP as it is not cost effective.
however I see here that there is several people waiting on installs?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

eh? what? Are you a current FTTP user, or trying to get onto the trial? The trial page is still up. Was it front line CS who told you, or an official email?

I was attempting to get placed onto the trial.
Direct on the phone. The op said he would double check came back with a reply that the FTTP costs about £3k per customer and has been deemed not viable or cost effective so the trial has been cancelled.
Not 100% sure what that means for all you FTTP customers!!
This leaves me looking for another provider.

Are you sure you weren't asking about FTTP on demand, a service not offered by Plusnet.

No I specifically asked for the FTTP trial. Pretty sure as they do not offer a FTTPod trial then it wouldnt have been discussed?

I suspect (hope) the CS agent has got confused. They don't really know much about FTTP. £3k does, as @Strat says, sound like FTTPoD, which PN has never offered, trial or otherwise. I can't imagine fttp costs much more to supply than fttc, (you only have to look at BT's own FTTP prices ) and ongoing support requirements are minimal once installed
I will lower my own panic level for now

The CodeLook website gives the following for Perranporth Cab 8 so it looks like FTTP should be available.
FTTP from 23rd April 2013, FTTP on Demand
I would suggest you log into your PlusNet Members Page and see what you get offered if you try and upgrade your connection.

I'm also of the opinion that the CS staff just got it wrong as the FTTP Trial has never been available to order on the phone or via the member centre but only from the special trials URL.
But just in case this link gives all the companies offering WBC FTTP https://www.homeandwork.openreach.co.uk/fibre-broadband/ultrafast-fibre/buy-it-now.aspx
edit: for spelling

Another thought.
If the OP "paradestores" is not a PlusNet member and is looking to join then they may be unaware the FTTP "trial" is only for existing customers.
When they spoke to Customer Support the CS bod looked at the line, saw only that FTTP on Demand was available on that line for new customers and told the OP that no FTTP service was available as it was too expensive for PlusNet to use.
