Finally getting access to CAF via Open Banking is one long-standing technical dream ticked off for this week.

Could the second finally be getting some FTTP internet at home?

I discovered this week that Openreach have now made FTTP available to every house on my street except me and two of my immediate neighbours.

Andrews and Arnold used to have a legendary reputation for chasing BT/ Openreach to get the best outcome for their customers, but their reply to my sales enquiry can be summarized as “nothing we can do mate, try asking Openreach yourself - here’s the link”.

How the mighty have fallen.

I had already filled in Openreach’s form - to be fair to them, they do have an enquiry route for “my neighbours can get FTTP so why the hell can’t I?”, and I gather they’ve had to pass it to another team … here’s hoping they’ll get it fixed soon so I can stop shelling out for Starlink.

That really would make it a good week.
