Can a mod please advise. 

 

We currently have ADLS in our office but have been told by the landlord that the offices are wired for Fibre. Checking on BT Business website it says that Fibre is not available in the area.

 

If you anyone can advise on if its possible to get fibre for our business.

I think they will need a phone number on your office for them to run a service check.

 

Good luck. 🙂

Digging a bit further into it from our landlord they tell me its a wideband fibre network. BT sales and Technical department still tell me there is no fibre even though I can see the fibre cable in the coms cupboard.

 

Anyone advise please, what is wideband?

Hi,

 

Wideband is probably just referring to the bandwidth, and most fibre (internal and external) could probably be referred to as this.

 

Two possibilities I can think of:

 

1. The building has a fibre network, which might be what they're referring to.  Doesn't mean it's actually an internet capable network though.

 

2. Someone on the premises has a fibre leased line.  Good luck trying to get a piece of that, since they'll be paying through the nose for the service.

 

If you go to the BT Wholesale checker and it doesn't give you a date then your green cabinet doesn't have active FTTC yet.

 

Not sure what else I could add.

 

Cheers.

The business park we are on has a fibre network which runs round. The cable runs from the street and into the building. Landlord are on the case now with BT to find out why they are telling customers of theirs there is no fibre when there is. 

 

The Fibre "hub" is behind our building so I know its deffinatley there

Don't get confused between FTTH/FTTP - as an Internet connection and provision of a fibre which then needs BOTH ends terminating.

 

At one office in London we had plenty of fibre connections - but they were no use for internet connections as they were effectively point to point from London to various other cities allowing us to move vast amounts of data.

Thanks MHC

 

I have checked this and been told they are internet connections. We will see what the landlord comes up with. I will report back as soon as I know more.
