3rd delay to fibre rollout in 2 years

My address on the AUGHTON GREEN exchange is served by Cabinet 6.

In May 2013, the expected availability of superfast broadband at my cabinet was 30 September 2013
By 30 September 2013, the expected availability was 31 May 2014
By May 2014, the expected availability was 30 September 2014
Today, 30 September 2014, the expected availability is showing as 30 September 2015.

I'd like to think this is a simple clerical mistake, but history does sometimes make you think......

Maybe worth a check with the local planning office to see if any history of planning applications, or requests for roadwork permission have been filed.

NOTE: These may show as power company requests, e.g. crossing road to get power to a cabinet.

I am soo00 glad to find this post and I am in the exact same boat and the same location as your good self. Does anyone have a email address for BT Openreach to complain as the old email address ([email protected]) is no longer working (surprise surprise !) I have been given the run around by BT , Bt Openreach (when the email address was valid in December 2013) for now 18 months and this is getting far beyond a Joke . I just want to know what the hold up is ??

well...the Chief Executive, Joe Garner ([email protected]) might know who to contact )

Try posting in the Fibre Broadband forum where there are one or two people "in the know" who could help if so inclined. Your problem is a BT Openreach problem and nothing to do with BT Wholesale who will only come on the scene once BTO have installed FTTC.

Update 15 September 2015:

The date has been pushed back once again - expected availability date is now 31 March 2017, yes, 2017 !!! That's 4 years after the originally quoted date - what's going on?

"FTTC is currently not available on this cabinet due to following reasons:- Cabinet to be enabled between Apr-16 and Mar-17. Date to be confirmed once the survey is complete.."

This is no longer a joke. The new cabinet has been in position for over a year, and apparently awaits a connection under the roadway to the old cabinet.

Is it possible someone has objected to the siting of the FTTC cabinet and they have to find a different location?
