My local telephone cabinet has finally been upgraded, but unlike most of the others in the town this one's set up as Fibre To The Premises (FTTP), providing fibre service (what some providers refer to as "full fibre") all the way into the house. No more overnight uploads, this video took less than 10 minutes to send to YouTube.

Anyway, let's take a look at what BT Openreach have installed for me. Note that mine included the battery back up unit (BBU). This is no longer supplied as standard but apparently can still be supplied for "vulnerable customers".
