Where does one see that? Mine just says Now - Dev 2026 on the mapLooks like my road is being done over the next few days.
A combination of looking on the One.Network forthcoming road works site and the fact that Openreach just dumped a load of orange temporary fencing on my road.Where does one see that? Mine just says Now - Dev 2026 on the map
Heard any more on this? Virgin want to change my bill from 23 to 80, I told them to go jump!
It’s FTTP which stands for Fibre To The Property.
Basically it’s fast broadband through a fibre optic cable all the way from the exchange to your home.
I think it’s in town, but your individual road has to be lit up as well…Heard any more on this? Virgin want to change my bill from 23 to 80, I told them to go jump!
Not yet available where I am. As I’m currently marathon training I’m seeing quite a bit of Stafford I don’t visit all that often. There’s a lot of works being done, multiple cabinets upgraded etc.
No sign of that where I am, just checked the Openreach page.Just had an email saying fibre is now available, but as I have virgin for free I'll decline!

f you get it make sure you take ' before' and 'after' photos . Made a right mess of properties around here last summer. Seems we got off light with only our concrete porch dug up to pull the fibres through the existing underground channelling .. Had a right game getting Talk Talk/ City Fibre/ Kelly Communications to fill it back in properly. Offered cash or them to arrange a subcontractor after photo evidence. ( went with subcontractor who said they wete keeping him busy with big repair jobs ).Lots had whole inside walls destroyed , power cables severed etc etc.
Can't really notice any difference in speed since having it. But did us a favour getting the box installed upstairs in hubby's office instead of wires running upstairs from the old box.
( they advised to keep old box in house to revert back to if new fibre ever fails)
We have FTTP coming across via a pole ( live on Eccleshall Road) so dont worryOur current cable runs off telegraph pole and was replaced due to damage about 2 years ago. I’m hoping they run the new stuff off a pole too otherwise I won’t be having it!
