If your postcode is not in the file at all, (CSV that is) it means that 100% of it is EO, (served direct from the exchange). This means you have no cabinet and will not be getting FTTC.

You should already have a speed in excess of 12Mb if you are that close to the exchange..

The fibre you saw is most likely to serve Cabinets further from the exchange than you are. Often the Manholes and some cabling work is done by contractors who will not know what the cables are going to be used for.

Aren't the EO lines shown in the December .csv - "M_A" etc. ?

My postcode isn't listed, but I'm definitely not a direct connect. Indeed, I'm pretty sure I know the cabinet number, and that's not listed either. The data is clearly not complete.

Some of the cabinets near me have been upgraded already, and some are still being done. Exchange is supposed to go live within the next few months.

I have no idea if mine will be included or not. As I say, it's not in the spreadsheet at all, though if I use the BT wholesale checker, my postcode reports that FTTC is available, which it doesn't for other postcodes in the town.. not sure if that means anything at all (though I'm kind of hoping it means that my cabinet is in a list, but not the published one).

I'd hope BT upgrade our cabinet as it's one of the farthest from the exchange and the ADSL speeds are pretty poor. Not really holding my breath though.

I'm in the middle of converting it into a geo-coded fusion table just for fun, will post a link once I'm done

In my earlier post one of the local exchanges to me that went live in phase 5a, has recently had new cabs go in on phase 9b.

There are still quite a few gaps in the exchange on the lists but areas do seem to be infilled depending on which area of the country you are in as to how far ahead or behind bt are with their works.

Stoo, isnt that what i posted?

Not quite, I've changed the post code data to the location datatype, then geo-coded it. Then you can use the map visualisation

Might be a bit slow though with well over a million data points

oooo.. i never realised you could do clever tricks like that.


will be interesting to see !!

In reply to a post by bookey:

If the exchange is planned or has live FTTC/P services as the postcode is 'NO' you will get the FTTx service at somepoint but could be weeks, months, years.

Many, many thanks to the poster of the latest spreadsheet. Through it I can tell that virtually every cabinet connected to LNILC has FTTP planned, Deployed = YES, apart from mine which is down as FTTP but Deployed = NO. This looks very bad as my exchange was one of the earliest to be enabled (phase 5b).

The two streets next to mine, on a different cab that is FTTP enabled have access to Cable so have a choice to use FTTP or not. My street is on a new estate with its own Cab and no cable so we have no choice but ASDL. My line is about 3 miles from the exchange so my DSL is usable at 3-4Mb/1Mb ASDL2+, I know there are those worse off than me DSL wise but it's a real pain that houses I can see out of my patio doors can have FTTP and I can't :'(

Here's praying that OR do just one more Cab, otherwise I'll have to make friends with the neighbours I back onto...
