Hi,
I'm assuming Plusnet use BT Openreachs FTTP product.
How is it actually delivered to the home? Currently, fibre is to the cabinet. Cable to Telegraph pole. Then cable to my house.
Will I get Fibre to the Premise? Just not clear how the final leg is delivered given there is no fibre going to my home. Do they replace the current copper cable with fibre from the telegraph pole?

as its described fibre to the premises means they put a new fibre optic into your home. the copper becomes redundant.
Cheers

Thanks Daz. That all seems very reasonable given the name. I'm trying to ascertain if they start digging up gardens/streets. But I think the obvious option is to run the fibre from the (relatively) close telegraph pole where the copper is now.

First thing to do is to check if FTTP is available for your house. You're looking for WBC FTTP in the left hand column of the following.

If it's shown there will be a narrative about FTTP below the results window.
FTTP requires an entirely new (fibre) cable being laid to you house. If you have an overhead connection it will replace your current copper line.
