surprise as I mistakenly thought the Openreach Full-Fibre Broadband was only open to BT customers (Openreach\u2019s Full Fibre network is&nbsp;open access \u2013 ISP choice is BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone, EE, Zen, Andrews and Arnold, Aquiss, Cerberus, Fibre Net, Giganet, Orbital Net, Pine Media, Spectrum, Structured, Syscomm and Uno and growing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on what I was told (and recorded) during my follow-up call back to TalkTalk on the 5th December, I accepted the offer of Future Fibre 65 for \u00a323.50 for an 18 month contract, this also includes retaining my landline and Youview box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The average TalkTalk download speed on Fibre 65 is 67Mbps and the average upload speed is 18Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

possible on the technology and installation methods for this new service into my property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have an aversion to cables being on show, so if I can gain an understand of the end to end process, I may be able to do enabling works which will not only make the installation easier for the engineer, but will meet my needs for equipment location and neatness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
