Hello all,
Please excuse me if I’ve posted on the wrong forum.
However, just out of interest...
We have TT non-fibre broadband at the moment, and are perfectly happy with it. However, every time I look up whether fibre is available to us, sites say ‘Yes, it is’ (though Virgin do give a definite ‘No’).
However, we live on an unadopted road (we all chip into a maintenance fund for insurance/repair/grit, etc). So I’m reasonably sure that we don’t have any fibre infrastructure in place - there are no ‘CATV’-type boxes down the road to spur off.
So how true is it that ‘fibre broadband is available’?
If (theoretically) I went for it, would someone have to come and dig the whole road up?
What would swing that decision? Surely it wouldn’t be my £27 a month?
(Evidently our house is 1.5 mi from the exchange, if that’s significant - but I guess things might also depend on how close we are to other roads that *do* have fibre. NB: We’re not out in the sticks either - we’re in the city, a *very* main road about 200 metres away).
I’d be interested in finding out about how this all works, so look forward to hearing from anyone who can enlighten me!
Thanks in advance.
