The question was fibre to the house >>>new house new build?? Known as Fibre to the premises FTTP.Or the more common fibre to the roadside cabinet and copper wire to the premises . FTTC . The later is the norm and may have no connections left in the cabinet .

It would simply show as "waiting list" on the dsl checker.

The checker has no records for the property.

Thank you everyone for the comments. Your responses have made me hopeful that if we move in and get a BT phone line in place we could find that we are then able to get fibre over BT lines. As someone else said, it's not a new house, it's over 100 years old but I think the previous owners may have had Virgin for quite a while.

SImple answer is ring BT up or someone who you want to start a contract with and ask.

Why on early you want to start a 12/18month phone contract, and then try and get fibre I don't know.
It won't be cost effective or sensible.

We've already spoken to Talk Talk and they just say they can't provide fibre to the address. I hadn't appreciated that just getting a phone line would require a contract though.
