I live on St James Road and after entering my phone number in to the online checker on the bt.com/infinity page, I'm given an estimated date of December 2011. When I look at the Region Map on the same page, Eversley is showing a date of December 2012. I'm a little confused..

As a few others have posted above we've heard dates of September '11, December '11, March '12 and now December '12 for the Eversley upgrade.. Has anyone been able to get any clarification from BT on this? I've spoken to several people at customer support and essentially the response I've been given is only Wholesale knows and they're not 'customer facing'.

Lastly, I used the Wholesale line checker and was given this response:
(https://www.btwholesale.com/pages/static/Community/Broadband_Community/Coverage/ADSL_Availibility_Checker.html#)
"Your cabinet is planned to have WBC FTTC by 31st December 2011. Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 31.5Mbps and upstream line speed of 12.3Mbps."

Another date which indicates December 2011. I really wish BT would offer some kind of statement updating us on what's happening.

I live at the Nine Mile Ride/Kiln Ride/Kiln Ride Extension crossroads, my Sky Connect was upgraded to Sky Unlimited on 27 Oct...and lo and behold my download speeds have more than HALVED!!!! I've given it the 10 days testing period but no change.

I was getting about 2Mbps on Connect, now I'm just about scraping 880Kbps. Not happy.

Time to get on at Sky I think.

Probably their DLM has got you set at a higher target noise margin, so a copy of before and after for line stats would go a long way

..for many of us in Finch on the Eversley Exchange it's been a bit academic over the last week: someone cut the cable to hundreds of houses (no phone, no BB).

Fortunately the [broadband supplier] has drafted in some new squirrels-to-carry-the-acorns-with-the-1s-and-0s-on-them...

So now full normal service & data-rates now returned to Finch. Hurrah!

Even once fibre appears in areas this will go on still, as they wont realise there is no copper until they have wrecked any fibre in the ducts etc

I am not quite sure what is happening with infinity, I live in Gorse Ride North connected to the cabinet which is less than 50m away and this has been changed to a new infinity cab.

However I have just spoken to BT business and the enablement date now seems to have been moved to December 2012, this is despite the openreach boys having layed the fibre at least 1 month ago.

So unless anybody else has any further information it looks like we will have to wait another 12 months for reasonable broadband speed

BT website updated to show that the Eversley exchange will now not be updated until end June 2012

The following was reported at Finch Parish Council meeting on 22 Nov 2011:

BT – Finchampstead
Justin Rhodes, the OpenReach rollout project manager was at this meeting. He re-iterated the rollout was on schedule to begin in early January 2012 and any other press / website timescales had no substance in fact.

Here again are the locations for the new fibre optic cabinets (NGA’s):-

PCP 1 NINE MILE RIDE CROSS ROADS
PCP 2 JCN FINCHAMPSTEAD RD &, BARKHAM RIDE
PCP 3 OPP BELMONT STORES 9 MILE RIDE
PCP 4 REC.GROUND THE VILLAGE FINCHAMPSTEAD
PCP 5 O/S THE GABLES NINE MILE RIDE
PCP 9 O/S 6 GORSE RIDE SOUTH
PCP 10 GORSE RIDE/BARKHAM RIDE
PCP 11 NASHGROVE LANE/MCCARTHY WAY
PCP 12 OPP 47 BARKHAM RIDE
PCP 15 O/S 58 NASHGROVE LANE

I can report that PCP 12 OPP 47 BARKHAM RIDE has not yet been upgraded. Anyone have any update on the others?

POP 9 (Gorse Ride South) has pavement markings for the new cab and an (assumed underground) junction box, actually on Kelsey Ave (about 100 yards from the Gorse Ride South existing cab.). But no sign of any civil works starting soon. Markings have been then for a month.
