Updated BT ADSL Checker

Now my FTTC date has now changed to 31st December, great! Also the adsl checker predicts I should recieve 32.4Mbps down and upstream line speed of 7.5Mbps. According to those predictions what would I recieve in practice?

My FTTC cab date has changed to 31st December also. This is now the 3rd date change (originally 31st June, then 31st September and now 31st December). However the cabinet was installed a few weeks before the end of June. The cabinet is not humming yet though so I guess that's the reason for the delay and it being pushed back to another placeholder date.

Anyway, in regard to your question, from what I read the wholesale checker can be a little conservative with its speed estimates and most cases you can expect a speed around that or a little higher?

0o0o my cab hasn't even been installed! That means I will most definately be missing the December date aswell

And I have a FTTC CAB (installed a couple of months ago), an exchange supposedly enabled but no service date offered for FTTC on my line!

If I put the postcode in the checker is yes I am FTTC enabled but not the telephone number. The post code is all on the one CAB!

Openreach are very confused over all this!

Well mine has moved for the 6th time....

31st March then
30th June then
30th September then
31st December then back to
30th September and surprise surprise.......
31st December

Will give it till Mid October and then go to Virgin. BT convinced me to leave Virgin and join them as Infinity would be with my by March 31st......livid is not the word.

lol

Delays have been everywhere, just have to continue to wait.

Though why did you leave Virgin before Infinity was working, as estimates given have always slipped back.

I had a much lower download estimate (26.6 if I remember correctly) & I ended up with the full 38717/10000 profile so the checker can be very conservative to say the least.

didn't know about delays and was told it would be available by 31st March....didn't mention this was an estimate.

Ignore the date being changed to December.

Basically. every quarter, the BT wholesale checker simply moves dates on by 3 months if the particular cabinet is not yet live. Once the cab is close to being RFS the date will be amended to a closer, more acurate date rather than they default 31st December.

So basically, because the cab wont be ready in time for 30th September, they just move the date 3 months automatically. This doesn't mean the cabinet deployment has been delayed, just that they are working on a 3month turnaround.

Naturally dates that keep moving back for months on end may have a particular issue as to why that cabinet isn't RFS yet.
