Does City Fibre use Openreach connections?

I am in the process of transferring from TalkTalk Fibre 65 to Vodafone Full Fibre 100. 

The TT FTTP was installed by Openreach but now I’ve been notified that City Fibre will carry out the VF installation.

Will this require another cable into my property with more internal/external boxes or will they utilise the existing infrastructure?

Does your area have Cityfibre?

Have you signed up with Vodaphone through Openreach or Cityfibre?

I just signed up via the Vodafone site (through the MSE link) and now I've got a message from City Fibre confirming a site visit and installation date.

Having just done a dummy enquiry through Vodaphone website for my area it does state its a Cityfibre connection.

If so and the install is like my Cityfibre you will have a new Cityfibre fibreoptic cable from street cabinet to property (which may use the existing Openreach pole) and new termination point indoors.

Thanks for that.

Wow, as I already have a legacy phone line and NTE, coupled with the existing Openreach FTTP connections I may struggle for more wall space.
