    Put your post code into the Openreach website, it will tell you if full fibre is available in your area, if not you can choose to be kept updated.

    I actually saw the Openreach workers putting the fibre cables in to the telegraph poles on our street so knew it was available. I’d been a BT customer for years ending up with fibre to cabinet however they kept hiking the prices and I ended up paying £76 a month, BT adding BT Sport, something I never watched or asked for, and also some add ons to the land line phone that I didn’t have plugged in.

    I went online to change my contract but it would not let me choose a fibre to cabinet contract I could only choose full fibre, I rang them up and they told me as full fibre was in my area I could not have fibre to cabinet and would have to swap to full fibre. I then read about Vodafone Essentials and went for that but they also told me I could not have fibre to cabinet and explained that my copper land line would be disconnected. It’s £12 a month for 12 months and you can cancel at any time, when the 12 months is up, I think, you have to resubmit your NI number so they can check you are still in receipt of any of the qualifying benefits. Our 12 months is up early December and it’s still available and still £12 a month. You can pay £20 a month for faster speeds, for £12 a month it’s  38 Mbps I check the speed regularly and it’s normally around 37 Mbps I’ve never seen it below 36 Mbps. I posted the link for Vodafone earlier in this thread.
