Help needed - Northern Ireland

Hi, we have just moved into a new house in Northern Ireland and have gone to get connected to full fibre (which we thought would be easy as there is a fibre line running over our front lawn with a pole on the grass).

We have been told that Fibrus are the only people who we can use as they won the contract for our area. So when we contact them they say that there is no availability as the 1:8 splitter two poles away is fully utilised and they would need to run another fibre line from two towns over so it was not possible. However, we bumped into an engineer who was fixing the pole down the road the other day and he said the call centre was wrong and that we could definitely get full fibre.

That leaves our only option as Starlink, which I am not adverse to using, but I wanted a second option before giving up and paying the extra.

Any help would be appreciated.
