There’s fibre outside - how do I get FTTP?
Discussion
I’m on BT broadband - there’s FTTC a few hundred metres away and we get for 14-50Mb (nearer 14)
I’ve regularly checked the fibre checkers which say fibre not available in my area.
Openreach are doing work outside so I asked if they were putting fibre in - they were very helpful and said no, they were repairing a copper cable but did show me that there’s a fibre line running in an access manhole near the house. They said I needed to find out where the BCD/PCP/ABC/DNA is - I forget the correct acronym- but apparently there should be one within a few hundred metres from which a house can be connected.
Does anybody here know who I contact to see if I can be connected please? All the fibre searches I’ve undertaken are saying not available.
Many thanks

Many thanks all.
Thanks camel_landy
I put my details in and I see that only FTTP on demand is available. My research suggests that’s hugely expensive to install and rent so that’s the end of that.
Hugely frustrating as it passes 1m from my front gate.
Don’t know why they aren’t offering FTTP if the fibre is here- I had believed there was no fibre out here in the sticks and that was the reason but no.

No FTTP until 2025- there’s fibre outside but no chance of connecting to it.
I’m paying £70/month for a 50Mb connection which is rarely 50Mb and a phone line I rarely use.
I called Bt today as speeds had dropped again- they confirmed no fibre connection is available yet and have indicated I can get a cheaper package at about £50/month so the call was worth it.
