Can anyone explain to me this situation.

A new sub division built directly across the road with new neigbours facing parents house and they have fibre but somehow the parents can't tap off that?

Parents have an RD address.

How can they not give fibre to them? Or maybe a better question.

How can they get fibre in this situation?

The developers of a new subdivision usually pay the fibre company to install the fibre around the their streets ready for the new home owners to connect to when they are building.

As your property wouldn’t have been part of that deal that is why you’re re treated differently.

The good news is that when a fibre company extends their network they usually consider the houses along the route of the feeder cable so your house may be served in time.

Something else you can do is make friends with somebody across the road, get port 2 of their ONT provisioned with your own service then set up a wireless peer to peer link to your house (Ubiquiti Nanobeam or similar).
