Hatch Warren getting 37.4 meg down, although engineers machine said 40 meg max ? couldn't explain why,
...
I've also not gone through the supposed 10day flucuation in speeds until its settled mine has stuck at 37.4 thoughout.

The 10-day thing is a myth - especially for FTTC. Openreach's documents state that DLM will monitor for the first day, and intervene if necessary on the second day... unless things are dire, when it will intervene as fast as possible.

The first question is... what is the 37.4 meg? Is that the speed seen in a tester like speedtest.net?

If so, then that *is* about the best speed you can get with a 40Mbps sync.

My post relates to PCP 66 (per the title)

I understand that PCP 67 already went live late last year (confirmed using a number from a friend in Tangway)

I've seen a lot of residents make the assumption that they're connected to the cabinet closest to them; this is often not the case. Structured cabling makes it rare for a cabinet to serve lines in all direction.

Take a look at this map to see how postcodes map to cabinets in Chineham:

The "Percent Postcode on this PCP" indicates what percentage of lines in that postcode connect to that cabinet; where it is less than 100% you should find the same postcode listed a second time for those lines that connect to another cabinet.

still wondering when this is coming live

Hi,

It's sad that it requires a lot of detective work to find out stuff.

Anyone has got any info on PCP205 ?
Old report (04/2011) said it's not going to be enabled. Is that still true ?

Unfortunately the December 2011 report says --

THBZ,BASINGSTOKE,RG248EG,{THBZ}{P205},0,100%,,,,

I saw this update from a friend who is chasing through the BT Chairman's Office:

Just to let you know I’ve had another update from the planners today. We’ve still not got a definitive date but I’ve been advised that your cab should be ready for Infinity by the end of March at the latest.

Great, thanks for the update Doug. I hope it doesn't get shifted again....

ANy further news would be good

Just checked Openreach Communications Exchange checker and the Dummer Exchange is listed as NC (not in rollout plans)... So cheers BT and also great Job VM... oh well

You will find that you're exchange will be covered by Hampshires local broadband plan, so will see improvements end of 2012 onwards depending on how the plan is drawn up.

Me too. To tell us they're going to do it and then not is more frustrating than not even being scheduled in.
