BT Wholesale checker changes!

Just happened to check the BT Wholesale checker (to check for any updates) which used to read:

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 33.8Mbps and upstream line speed of 13.3Mbps.

...And now that same exact message has disappeared! Whats going on?!

Should I be worried? Is this a sign telling me that BT have scrapped upgrading my cab? (even though its physically installed in its position and according to londonworks.gov.uk website, the power is going in this week)

Edited by Bobby_Valentino (Sun 11-Dec-11 16:35:15)

The checker says nothing (and never has) for my line despite the cabinet being installed over the past few weeks. My exchange is in the "future exchanges" list.

But then Openreach seems to think it is getting FTTP now rather than FTTC which is what it used to say (in those lists).

I don't think anyone knows what is happening and when.

Edited by deleted (Sun 11-Dec-11 11:40:36)

My exchagne has been enabled for FTTC since September. All the documents released show my cab being enabled for FTTC (Including the document that shows 100% of lines connecting to cab 5 as being enabled) on 31st December 2011.

hi

where did you find the info about your actual cab? the same has happened to me for the checker website. I would really like to know what cab i am on, as it could be one of two cabs which my line goes to.

Jeremy

the exact same thing has happened to my parents address, despite their cab being installed a few days ago, it was meant to go live in march. in fact the data for the Burton on Trent exchange has all gone. nice one BT.

This usually, (not always), means it is about to become live. Like within 3 days.

What's your postcode Jeremy?

Hi Sent you a message

thanks

Remember that we are now in the "quaint" period 2-3 weeks before an end-of-quarter.

This is the time that the checker traditionally changes all the "End of December" dates into "End of March" dates.

It is not unusual for those changes to also cause some dates to disappear for a short while - perhaps a few hours, or perhaps a couple of dates.

In reply to a post by RobertoS:

Oh really? Did the same happen for you aswell?

Same has happened to my number too - i think its changing again to delay another 3 months (my cab hasnt been done).

Probably worth checking again in 24 hours

Yes, it's quite common. Mine jumped backwards and forwards a couple of times for a week or two, then disappeared. To return with a date either live or just a couple of days ahead, I forget.

As the others have said, an "end of quarter" date is often just a holding date, meaning little, and late in a month can slip 3 or 6 months. I've never heard of it disappearing in those circumstances though, just altering. Though maybe it can, judging by what has just been posted here. It's still a bit early in December for that I would have thought anyway, though I could be wrong .

It has always been very unsatisfactory.

This time last year (almost to the day), my date changed on a (close to) daily basis for 8 days, with dates ranging from end-December through to the end of the next September - going back and forth between them, and also disappeared too.

In the end, while the neighbouring cabinets went live (and had installs) by the end of December, mine got pushed back to near the end of March and the install only happened in June.

It teaches you patience, or lets you know how little patience you have!

I'm in the same situation - it was 31st December 2011, but now it's never!

However, when I went here and clicked on the Plusnet logo, Plusnet say it'll be available 19th April 2012.

Bummer!

I clicked on that same link and my exchange lists down as April 2011.

Exchange enabled for FTTC doesn't mean you can get it on your cab. My exchange (THFB) has been enabled since 2009 I believe. Still no service on cab 5 (PCP 5) but surrounding streets are up and running. Planning issues apparently

At least you have dates. I had a new telephone line installed, and instead of connecting it to an exchange which is closer and already has FTTC enabled, they connected to an exchange with a bit more capacity but coming in Mar 2012! So I am stuck on abysmal 3/1 DSL

Yeah I know. Its weird not seeing the fibre message being displayed especially when the phone number has been inputted in. And I'm looking at the proposed power plans to be installed in this week aswell. Something doesn't add up with the BT checker at the moment. **Confused**

Edited by Bobby_Valentino (Sun 11-Dec-11 16:19:38)

That's because, looking at the "Fibre in the UK, see when fibre arrives" box, you are looking at a very old marketing message. 19th April 2011 was when Plusnet started selling fibre connections, so every exchange that was already in service got labelled with this date.

And because it is a static marketing message, I don't think it has been updated *since* 19th April either.

If you use the "Check availability" buttons, you get a better answer. Or you need to use a live dynamic checker that tells you about the current status of your own individual line, such as:
http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome

However, both of those will dpend on the same BT database that you've now disappeared from. You might need to wait until it comes back.

OOPS! It does indeed state 2011.

BT wholesale site was updated this morning with exchanges to Jun 2012.. http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/home/products/super-...

Sadly does not include my exchange...

Looking at the site again this morning, the fttc coming soon message has been removed from most of the numbers i checked only a few days ago... will check again in a few days.

Yep my cabinet appears to have dropped off the checker also.

Oh well, they only delayed the exchange by a year and listed it as 'enabled' with very few cabinets completed so I doubt I'm the only person in Twickenham to see that. Very little sign of OR construction at all around the PCPs.

Cowley exchange (SMCO) has also dropped off, it had a 31-Dec-2011... so we'll just have to wait and see.

My exchange appears to have jumped up from "Future exchanges" to "Coming soon" with a date of Dec 2011.

This hasn't yet percolated through to the likes of Samknows or BT's dslchecker (and from testing a few numbers known to be on different cabinets, none yet show FTTC or FTTP as coming soon).

Interestingly it *still* says I'm getting FTTP. I remain unconvinced.

In reply to a post by Ignitionnet:

Same here - checker shows no WBC FTTC line anymore, and BT Infinity site no longer says "coming soon".

Has anybody had any developments on this with the checker?

doesnt mention anything for me still, it has completely disappeared, no mention of WBC FTTC at all..

My line has dropped of the checker a few days ago the FTTC cab has been there since the beginning of August I also had a date of 31st December this has been pushed back about 3 times now.

Mine used to give a fibre estimate and a date of 'by 31st March 2012'. I went on it today just to check (the new cab is now in place and workmen have left). Now it doesn't say anything about fibre.

Perhaps they have to remove the old information before putting something new in there? I'll have to check back later, lol.

Lol, that's encouraging then. My cab went up last week and now the checker has dropped FTTC from my estimate. Oh well - the longer it takes the more time Be have to come up with a product.

This may be linked to RIchmond Councillors objecting to any cabinets in the borough. Suggest an equiry to your local councillor and planning department, possibly followed by one to the local paper!

Seems a fairly normal size to me. 1 metre tall, two metres wide.

My parents has dropped off the checker despite the cab being installed last week. I'm sure BT will update soon, If not soon then after the holidays, for those that have cabs installed, don't worry you will have a fibre service shortly.

The question is for those of us still awaiting an FTTC cab to be fitted, the estimates have now vanished. Does that mean "never" or "keep waiting" ?

Judging by the number, and persistance of, all these posts about it they have pulled an awful lot while they do a proper (??) review of the schedule for 2012.

checking on talk talk's website it now says march 2012 for me.

Yeah that would be logical. Out of interest does your active line still mention FTTC?

I note other places that pull BT data (e.g. ADSL24's checker) now report that FTTC is not available which could just be interpretation of 'no data'.

Yep. 17a profile too.

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 28.9Mbps and upstream line speed of 11.5Mbps.

In reply to a post by lockyatlrg:

LOL, six months from cab in and still waiting!!!

9 months Cab in - date now slipped from Dec 31st to March 2012...

Oh well, its not like its important or anything...

Might have to move house at this rate!!

Out of interest I tried the BT checker, its not very reliable is it. I have a BT line that�s been in for some 20years it said there wasn�t one or it was too new for have it recorded. It said ASDL+ was due February 2012, well its moved from October this year, to Feb 2012, to March and now June on other BT sites. It said my current line speed was up to 2Mb and with + up to 2,5Mb. But I am currently on just under 5Mb. Is there any reliable information given on it?

Nah that's all been settled now, was a big planning meeting a while ago where approval was given for nearly all of BT's planning requests, including my own PCP.

That doesn't indicate 17a, a 40/15 product has been released on 8c.

Without checking back through everything, I thought the 40/15 product had been withdrawn by Openreach for anything except current live connections? As previously my upload estimate was well under 10Mbps I would be fairly certain I am now on 17a. I don't intend to flash my modem to find out .

My exchange is among the new rollouts but for dec 2012, yet when i go to Bt checker i get this report and have been getting it for 6 months or so.

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 between 30.3 to 32.5 Mbps and upstream line speed between 11 to 11.7 Mbps.

That type of estimate is normal for anywhere that is scheduled or live for FTTC. Daft wording, but "there it is" .

In reply to a post by RobertoS:

]That type of estimate is normal for anywhere that is scheduled or live for FTTC.

"is" or "was" normal ?

My line in Farnborough, Hants - was saying that text until Sunday night
My parents in Crawley, Sussex - was saying that text until Sunday night

Friends in other towns around the UK - the same, and other posters here.

What are OR doing to us ?

"is".
Just a hiatus in the system at the moment.

The point I was actually making to that poster was that the blah about "customers have received" is garbage, and the "line supports" doesn't mean it is available.

you would have to be unlucky or retarded to brick one though, I have done 10+ now with 100% success, get flashing it already

I am hearing from some people here and elsewhere that the checker says march 2012. It still has not updated for me.

I took a walk up to my cabinet last night, about 10 metres away from it (in the direction to the exchange), the pavement had 'BT' sprayed and a squiggle next to it. This is definitely new - is this likely a blocked duct? i hope so!

anyway sorry for derailing the thread a little - i just need to know if there is progress!

[cough]
(as they used to say at an army medical)
Don't take things too literally. Andrue's post was an owl. (If you weren't a Twin Peaks addict you will need that explaining).

As for my reply, have you never heard of what two bricks can be used for?

Interesting that the upstream speeds changed to match the 17a profile upgrade, the downstream speeds didn't.

My pre-installation estimate was for 30.1 down and 6.1 up - when I actually got 36 down and 10 up.

Since the 17a rollout, the estimate stays at 30.1 down and 11.3 up. My actual is limited to 40/10 based on the current package, but the maximum attainable (according to the modem) is 61 down and 16 up.

Last time I searched back to check, my downstream hadn't changed either. Presumably it's a bit like ADSL2+ v ADSL, at certain distances the different frequencies are attenuated out of usefulness.

I'm about 600m from the cabinet.

guys its updated!

says i can get infinity, but my cab has not been upgraded?!

this is on the bt infinity website, it says 'order now'

the adsl checker says:

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 31Mbps and upstream line speed of 11.9Mbps.

Is this a joke? i sure hope its not, but there is definitely no fibre cabinet near mine. There is one 100m up the road next to another PCP. Could it be connected up to it?

well mine has gone live this morning was not expecting that nice one

In reply to a post by Naan_H:

Exactly the same here ; interesting!

No, it's because the upstream figure is for 8c on a 40/15 product, it's also why no-one has an estimate above 40Mb down and 15Mb up even if they live next door to the PCP.

Mine has just been updated.

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 37Mbps and upstream line speed of 13.3Mbps.

I'm less than 50m from the PCP, the fibre cabinet is going about 5m further away.

I'm gonna give someone a call
Exactly the same here ; interesting!

Mine updated too again! and now its ordered, install in the new year

so thought i was off the roll-out plans!

Time to order it then for all those who have available now on the checker.

Sooner you order sooner it will arrive, but like the post may be after the date for Christmas!

Ordered mine today, haven't got back to me with dates but they reckon mid-January. That's fine for me. It wasn't likely to be next week and I'm away after that for Christmas.

All in all pretty good actually. They only started work a couple of weeks ago. Then again I think mine's the first cabinet the cable reaches so it probably had to be enabled first.

The same event for my number.
30 minutes ago I could get FTTC up to 10/33 (estimate). Now I can only have ADSL2+ 1.5/19.5 (estimate).
It appears that I'm stuck with ADSL2+ Annex M 2.5/16.8 for the foreseeable future.

Mine said i could order this morning got my MAC code and it has gone again.. come on BT sort your house out

I have had the exact same issue. Before I could get FTTC, then earlier I could order it, now it's gone again.

Yup gone for me as well. BTw are a bunch of muppets. Oh well it's not like I need a faster connection but I hate being mucked about.

Been a bad day for BT in that respect. I got an email saying it was time to renew my phone package. Followed the link to renew it and just got an apology about a technical error. Decided to do it over the phone only to be told I couldn't renew for another week. Again - the renewal doesn't excite me but being mucked about annoys me.

Yep it looks like this morning was a database screwup. One of my friends (in sussex) tried to order, and the online chat on BT Infinity's page popped up and the person the other end confirmed the data was wrong and he can't get it. His exchange isn't even FTTC enabled yet (due April 2012 on samknows).

At least mine should be possible - people near me have FTTC, just we don't

That sucks.

My order was accepted by IDNet so it remains to be seen. They say they are a bit short-staffed at the moment so hopefully it'll just be rejected on Monday. I hope it isn't currently part way through BT's systems because they have a habit of just cancelling every service on a line and starting over.

Quite useless from as big an organisation as BT, you'd think they'd have testing and staging servers before database changes were visible externally.

Eek, hope that IDnet catch it.

I'm hoping we will get FTTC eventually, but if BTOR were able to say "no, we can't ever service your property" would be ok - I'd sign up to VM's 100mbps service. Due to latency issues here its inferior to an FTTC service but it is higher bandwidth upload than my ADSL2+.

Well there has been some changes... a friend who's connected to the same exchange but different cab has had his FTTC message reappear with a new date set to 31st March 2012.

In my case the FTTC message is still missing. Could this be due to the power being connected up next week? (Power planning shows it starts today and ends on the 22nd Dec)

Still I bit frustrating my cab has been sat there since the beginning of August and all the others are active except this one can anyone shed some light on why my cab is not on yet Rossendale exchange cab 24

Bobby valentino it has updated again - now saying March 2012 as expected!

Knew last night was too good to be true.

Must be blocked ducts to my cab - otherwise i would have thought they would not bother anymore and say on the checker that its not due to have FTTC.

In reply to a post by Justo:

Yep, here too - yesterday morning I was being given the choice to order FTTC, then it went away and now it says 'by 31st March 2012' though I would expect it to be sooner as I have seen a number of cab's go in over the last month.

Interestingly, the BT checker for my o2 llu line has also changed for ADSL2+ as well.

It previously said ''your line currently supports an estimated ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 6Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 5Mbps and 7Mbps'.

It now states 'your line currently supports an estimated ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 8Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 6.5Mbps and 14Mbps.'!

Has this happened to anyone else? I wonder why the sudden change?

I did try restarting my router but am still getting between 5.5 and 6Mbps... :/

In reply to a post by gt94sss2:

It's unlikely that restarting your router would have any effect. Changes reported by the wholesale checker relate to major upgrades and you usually have to talk to your ISP - and most likely pay extra - in order to be moved onto a different package.

I think it's very unlikely that a)your line would suddenly be improved or b)that the wholesale checker would report the fact.

Lol, yeah mine has changed. Now it's just confusing:

Its an ADSL 2+ LLU line so the speed should be the best available anyway but you are right that its a 'surprise' that that the line checker seems to think the quality of the line has increased so much..

No idea why.. thats why I was asking if others had ever seen the same thing? Could be an error (as my sync speeds haven't changed) and/or BT have fiddled with something else while installing FTTC locally..

Mine reports the same; "speeds of 30.7Mbps and upstream line speed of 11Mbps".

That's the 6th date change :-/

Aye, any mention of FTTC had disappeared for me too - but now it's back, with *snare roll* - you've guessed it, a new arrival date! (was 31st December 2011).

I love the way yours has the same upstream speed as me but lower downstream. Wonder how they figure that out?

Knowing BT, it's based on a random number generator years of experience

Partic painful when your current 'broadband' is 750kb... does that even count as broadband?... my mobile phone gives me faster internet access it seems. chances that its actually ready by March 31st?... slim-to-none.

well mine became available this morning again lets see how long that lasts !!!
