May 20, 20224 yr @Andy Millne as I no longer live in Bedlington I thought I would check on the Openreach web site detailing the Ultrafast Full Fibre Broadband Rollout. Bedlington isn't named on the 82 sheets of names listed showing when the Rollout in that area is scheduled :- I then did a check, using postcodes, on the Rollout site. I selected two in Bedlington = St Benet Biscop school, Ridge terrace and Co=op, Station road Bedlington Station, NE22 5HB. and both resulted in Openreach saying it was already available. This is what is returned :- I then checked on Ashington, that's named in the Rollout sheets and again I used the Co-op = Milburn Road NE63 0PH and you get this :- So on that evidence Bedlington must be ready now Edited May 20, 20224 yr by Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)
May 20, 20224 yr Author Very interesting. I'm seeing the same results for those properties but not others in the list for that postcode or other postcodes along Front Street.

May 20, 20224 yr Author The only thing I can think of is those properties have potentially paid for or been provided with a dedicated service using the FTTPoD product https://www.openreach.co.uk/cpportal/products/fibre-broadband/new-fttp-on-demand
