Posters on Cabs.

I notice they are putting these multi coloured bt openreach posters on the cabs now..

Question i have is, when an exchange goes live, do they stick the sticker on that day?

sounds silly, but i have no way of knowing what day it will go live.

My cab's been live for about a month, and no poster on it.

What I did was keep checking on the BT Wholesale site with your phone number to see when it goes live.

ahh but if you don't have a BT number, you will be out of luck..

its completely useless on the post code checker.

But the 'Address Checker' seems to work reasonably well.

Or as you're on TalkTalk, you could use their checker:

The cabs in my area didn't get posters on them until recently despite being activated for over a year and a half. As mentioned, the checkers are the best way to check avaliability.

Openreach are asking staff to donate time to put these stickers on the DSLAM cabinets to promote the GEA service.


Since it's voluntary, hence the varied response.

BT wants their name plaster all over the place, so people may think that Bt openreach is the same as Bt retail.
oh silly me, it is, how did I forget that?

Never seen them. Got a link to a photo of them?

I thought it was to leaflet the wider area. Dont need volunteers just to stick posters on cabinets
