What are the phases

The different checkers look to have a phase associated with them. My postcode is in phase 9a as of the dec 2011 data. My town has been enabled. My estate has not. Is there a list of when a phase is being done?

Our exchange was announced in April 2011, Phase 7 and has not yet been enabled.
Other exchanges that were announced in July 2011, Phase 7b are already up and running
The new cabinets were installed throughout our area over the course of about 4 days only 3 weeks ago yet the RFS date is still June 2012 - the same date as some exchanges that were announced in Phase 8 in September 2011.

Why is it that we were announced 3 months earlier than some exchanges that have had theirs up and running for 2 months already yet ours isn't running?
And why are other exchanges announced 6 months after ours being enabled at the same time?

Phase xx means nothing. It gets done when it gets done. Don't get your hopes up because you'll probably get overtaken by somewhere else that hasn't even been announced yet.

hmm..

think you are right

some logic to not doing an area, which means we will not get done

grrrrrrr

Their are 4 phases per year

Phase 6 January to March
Phase 7 April to June
Phase 8 July to September
Phase 9 October to December

The phases are only a rough guide, OR at the start of the rollout where sticking to completing the work before moving onto the next phase, this lead to alot of delays with area's behind others.
OR moved to a system of where resources and manpower allowed the work to be completed as quick as possible, hence why some areas are enabled before others.

Their have been many delays in the rollout so, dates slip and cabinets get delayed for quite a while.

My cabinet is phase 5b but still waiting.

Planning permission requested Feb 2011.
Permission granted April 2011.
Cabinet installed around August 2011.
Exchange went live Jan 2012
Collapsed ducting fixed early March 2012
Power installed end March 2012

BT must be sick of me checking my number

Phase 6 January to March
Phase 7 April to June
Phase 8 July to September
Phase 9 October to December

You sure?

Phase 3 (March 2010)
Phase 4a (June 2010)
Phase 4b (September 2010)
Phase 5a (December 2010)
Phase 5b (March 2011)
Phase 6a (June 2011)
Phase 6b (September 2011)
Phase 7a (December 2011)
Phase 7b (Mar 2012)
Phase 8a (June 2012)
Phase 8b September 2012
Phase 9a December 2012
Phase 9b Mar 2013
Phase 10a June 2013
Phase 10b September 2013
Phase 11a December 2013
Phase 12a March 2014
Phase 12b June 2014

3 months for each phase fits in with the work i have seen in my local area, your information comes from where?

Several house of research.

- BT press releases over the years
- Local knowledge of when cabinet / exchanges where deliverd
- A leaked BT document.

Our exchange was announced in April 2011, Phase 7 and has not yet been enabled.
Other exchanges that were announced in July 2011, Phase 7b are already up and running

OR have had issues with some Exchange and had to abandon implementation. If your cab is going in your in phase 8a. Some of the 8a cabs in my area are coming online.

You might find they've connected the cabs to a different Exchange.

If the cabs have gone in you should get FTTC soon unless they get power issues which is also really common.


Cheers
