I used some of your postcode data to drive a query about how well OpenReach is doing with fibre rollout. (I'd noticed that some telegraph poles hadn't had fibre added, leaving gaps in fttp capabilities).<br /><br />Using the postcodes that are in use, I found that many didn't seem to work for my area when the Ofcom checker was used (https://checker.ofcom.org.uk:https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/broadband-coverage#) the site claimed that there was no info about these. The coordinates of such postcodes seem to all be the same spot in the middle of town: possibly the local RM Delivery Office.<br /><br />Is this what you'd expect? I can see that it may be how postcodes are deployed, but I thought I'd draw your attention to it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839813558671849637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519354.post-90122331512113210382022-11-24T22:57:12.501+00:002022-11-24T22:57:12.501+00:00Great Site!
