Openreach map? Is that the Fibre First one or another?

We are FTTC, and were amongst the last in the locality to go to
that.

Wouldn't hold your breath for FTTP then (even 2025 sounds optimistic)
and protect your wallet if you investigate FTTPoD.

FTTPoD seems to have died, not surprising considering the prospective
install price, pricing structure and lack of ISPs offering service
over it it, with I think was limited to 300 Mbps. Over taken by the
"gigabit capable" system?

The DCMS Gigabit Voucher scheme (up to £1,500 per home, £3,500 per
SME) with broadband speeds less than 100 Mbps are elegible. Possibly
with a top-up from a regional development agaency, we have the
"Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal" that doubles those amounts.
However the conditions for the Borderlands top-up would exclude most
people with access to FTTC as the "less than speed" is 30 Mbps.

Failing that there is Openreach's Community Fibre Partnership.
