Not surprised I live in the Oval (not a rural backwater) and for the fourth year in a row I have been told I cannot get fibre as the "cabinet is full". There appears to be no way to get on a waiting list or whatever. I even tried 4g broadband which could very sporadically, achieve 30-40 , but was in general unusable for desktop. Im not sure what I am meant to do ? wait until 5g is installed everywhere? install starlink ? possibly .. Openreach dont deal with plebs so maybe ofcom and an age discrimination case?
