My exchange is enabled - will I get FTTC ?

In the huge spreadsheet, I found this for my postcode:

NEMP,MORPETH,NE616TE,{NEMP}{M_C},1,35%,,,,

This has a lot less detail than, say, this for an area on the other side of town,

NEMP,MORPETH,NE612DJ,{NEMP}{P1},0,5%,4.1,6b,Yes,FTTC

I can't really interpret this, but when I try the latter postcode in the checker it suggests March 2012

When I try mind, it does not....

Will my area be getting FTTC? Can I tell which CAB I am on, etc ?

You appear to be served direct from the exchange, (are you close to it), and if so, no you won't get FTTC.

I also just found this

(these are from the DEC 2011 sheet)

NEMP,MORPETH,NE616TE,{NEMP}{M_E},1,25%,,,,


NEMP,MORPETH,NE616TE,{NEMP}{P10},0,33%,10.02,8a,Yes,FTTC

NEMP,MORPETH,NE616TE,{NEMP}{P9},0,5%,16.99,8a,Yes,FTTC



Yours, confused of (near) Morpeth.

Well in total those cover 98% of the lines to the postcode, so I gues there's a few rounded down ones and it's really all of them.

The {P10} means cabinet 10. The {M_C} stuff means an exchange connection, as does the 1 in the next column, (see the column heading). Zero there means cabinet feed.

Have a wander round and see it cabinet 9 or 10 looks liukely, or the exchange is more probable.

Have you tried this checker? Using just the phone number. Address might work if you haven't got a BT line, but Postcode will be useless as it basically works on the same info as the spreadsheet.

I just want to find out what I might get. I currently get around 2.5mbps via BeThere.

According to SamKnows the exchange is 3113m away from my postcode.

Edited by deleted (Sun 29-Jan-12 14:10:01)

I realised after posting that I hadn't spotted the extra ones were all the same post code, sorry. Read the edited version .

Thanks - that checker just lists my current rubbish connection.

I've no idea where my cabinet is, or what it will look like.....

if you are on an exchange only line look out for a forthcoming solution in the future, ive read something is on the way from Openreach but nothing has been announced to date

you would think they could just plant a PCP in front of the exchange building and plant a NGA cab at the side of it

In reply to a post by Ripley:

Which would only be of help to those on short EO lines. Many EO lines are much longer, in the case of our development, with 75+ EO lines, they are approaching 2.8Km based on our attenuation (2.3Km by road from the exchange).

In the BT spreadsheet for Dec 11, it appears that my postcode is served by one cabinet and that it is enabled, and yet the BT Infinity checker tells me that Infinity is not available to me. Can you advise if I am misreading the data in the spreadsheet?

STANDVR,ANDOVER,SP103RR,{STANDVR}{P91} 0,100%,2.62,9b,Yes,FTTC

Many thanks - and apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place!

The spreadsheet indicates the cabinet is planned but gives no spcific date when it is active and ready for orders. Seems its not ready yet.

Phase 9b is between (October to December), the spreadsheet says the cabinet is planned for FTTC, it does not mean it is live.

http://g.co/maps/ght7u

Is likely cabinet 91 as its on the road into the new estate, as your estate is new alot of them are due to get a FTTC cab later this year as they missed out on the orginal rollout for the towns etc.

No sign of FTTC cabinets appearing yet. Worried that we might be getting skipped - has this occured to villages in 'the plan'?

My exchange (Morpeth) is enabled, but I cannot order.

My other local exchange (Ashington) is now taking expressions of interest for 30 June.

My postcode shows up nothing.

We're being skipped aren't we?

Roadworks.org shows there is BT activity in your area now and that more is planned. Also work in Ashington itself has become less visible so maybe they've dispersed into the surrounding areas that are being enabled in the same phase.

Don't give up hope yet

Spotted this today - sure it wasn't there last night:

Pegswood FTTC Cabinet

Got to be a promising development.

That's looking good. You might get it before me as your exchange is already enabled.

I found BT had dug a big trench on Hawthorn Road today, must be some blocked ducts.

Yeah - just waiting to see when we might hit the checker - and looking at whether Bt or SKy are the best bet for provider (I'm with BE at the moment)

According to this:
http://fttc-check.alc.im/results.php?postcode=NE616TE

Over 60% of lines in my area are potentially direct to the exchange?

Certainly, I had an issue lately where my phone line went down entirely - but none of my neighbours had the same problem - and this was resolved by OpenReach fixing some line problems at a roundabout about half a mile away.

Starting to wonder if I might, unknowingly, have a direct line to the exchange - any way I can find out?

The BT Wholesale checker HERE with your telephone number should tell you.

If it says that FTTC "should" become available you "ought" to be OK. If there is no mention you are probably on the EO line with is obviously "unfortunately" and there is no sign of OR coming up with an alternative.

Since the Morpeth exchange has been enabled for some time Pegswood can be enabled "an any time" once they have put the fibres in (and they may already be there) whereas in Ashington we are still waiting!

Ashington wasnt in the list of exchanges enabled today on the OpenReach Twitter feed - there were ony two. I assume the bank holiday next week won't help either

Just checked my post code, NE61 6TT - Pegswood and it says

Cabinet Probability Uplift Phase Status Type
P27 100% 16.41 8a Part of deployment FTTC (Fiber to the Cabinet)

So it looks like Pegswood is getting fibre (probability 100%) new cabinets are appearing, ours has gone in our estate, but its not humming yet so it's not active!

Hi mate, I'm in the estate opposite the co-op, bamburgh drive. Theres a neww fttc cabinet gone in there, just beside the old one, getting on for about 2 months ago. Still not on yet! BT checker says FTTC is not available yet, same as sam says however my current BB supplier TalkTalk tell me superfast Fibre will be available in June 2012!!!! Who to believe? try their checker and it may give you some extra info - is it reliable though?

Since Pegswood is on the Morpeth exchange which has been active for some time Samknows is no help.

Use the BT ASDL Checker if you have a voice line which is not unbundled (SKY or TakTalk) to find details. If you have SKY or TT then use Postcode and house number or better a neighbours number in the same postcode.

The dates are not reliable - normally says 30th June and if not done by then goes to 30th September!

Hm. I wonder where my cab is? According to the checker, its 51% possible to be one, or 49% possible to be another, both scheduled for FTTC, but I haven't spotted anything. Must have a closer look.

My FTTC cabinet has been sitting inactive for over 3 months. It will be old and tatty by the time it is enabled!

If your post code is served by two CABs then there is no straightforward way to find out which one serves you unless there is an obvious division in the post code area - maybe two sides of main road crossing?

PCP spotting is getting to be something of a national pastime these days!

If you have a copy of the Post Code to PCP mapping spreadsheet you can produce a map using Google maps and one of the map producing sites to plot all of the post codes covered by the two PCPs. This may give an idea of where to look for the PCP.

It is easir when you havent got Virgin Cable cluttering up the streets!

Thats the December 2011 spreadsheet re-named to 2012.

April 2012 is the current spreadsheet and Isp's only have access to it- not been leaked yet.

I'm Brocksburn park too. (I'm going mad with my 1.5-2mb.)

The other old BT cab is on the road out of pegswood towards whorral bank.

No sign of a new cab going in there yet (I pulled over for a look a week or so ago) but there are some yellow paint lines round the cab and the floor panel. Markers?

roadworks.org had shown some scheduled BT works there, but nothing happened, and there is nothing planned, apparently.

I'm beginning to despair.

PS - this is useful -

9 is near the coop and the other one is up by Hebron terrace.

As for Brocksburn Park:

According to this, Trentham Gardens is directly connected to the exchange, miles away.

Edited by deleted (Wed 13-Jun-12 23:21:04)

EO lines are not determined by the distance from the exchange although "most" are probably near.

NE61 6TE looks to be a lottery with 38% split between CAB 9 and CAB 10 and the rest seem to be EO (presumably two separate bundles as there are two entries).

Sounds as though the post code covers a fairly large area, long street, newer development near cluster of older houses?

Need to use the BT ADSL Checker with the telephone number to find out if FTTC is coming.

Hmm - I had a problem a while ago when my line went down entirely.

This did not affect any of my neighbours - and was only resolved when the line was repaired, not at the cab.
I am beginning to suspect that I might be directly connected to the exchange - if I am, would I do well to get a second line installed??

It's all confusing. Check burghley, NE616TN. Shows up as being on either P9 or P10.

I too have had two bouts of total service loss recently, probably the same as yours. They were digging around in a hole at the top of the new roundabout at whorral bank and (I think) pumping a keilder sized lake out of it.

I'm with Be currently too, and my stats look just like yours

I think that because Burghley was the last part of brocksburn, that's why it's (apparently) all on cabs 9 and 10. I still don't know where 10 is.

I had no idea we had EOL on our estate. We're a long old way from the exchange.

Could be an error in BTs database?

If you have asked TT are you a TT customer? BT checker doesnt work on unbundled lines and the checker is only accurate when given the telephone number.

If the BT checker says "no" then ordering FTTC will be problematical as the order would presumably get rejected by OR.

Be is a shared LLU service, so phone number looks will work fine.

The TT checker can only get information for non TT lines from BT anyway.

I wonder if they are scaling back their rollout to areas with high interest.

That's wierd, as they use the same service as BT and Sky. TT aren't rolling out anything for FTTC. It's all BT Wholesale once Openreach connect the cabinets to the exchange.

I was under the impression that TT and SKY were both using OpenReach GEA and handing over at the exchange to their MSAN / backhaul rather than using BT Wholesale products as the other ISPs do?

Yuk! Of course they do. Thanks .

Pegswood just moved out to October 2012 on TalkTalk website.

BT Wholesale checker still no mention of FTTC

Just checked TalkTalk for me and it has been put back to December!!!

However, on a marginally more positive note, I did notice that the cab outside of Morpeth Golf Club had a "fibre optic broadband is here" sign on it yesterday, I'm sure it wasn't there before.

And I also saw what looked like a truck (not BT OR, workers were wearing "Network Solutions" tops) with Fibre cable on a trailer half way down the straight road from Pegswood to the new big roundabout!

If you are using a TT line then the BT checker cannot give you information about your line derived directly from the number - you can only use the postcode and house number which doesnt give 100% certainty - especially if part of the post code is connected on EO lines (which is the case for some earlier posters on this thread).

You are still ahead of me in the your exchange (Morpeth) has been enabled for a while now.

Well the Morpeth exchange has been enabled for some time now so you should see these!

Because Pegswood is outside Morpeth it seems to be being done as a separate job. It could be much worse though - if Pegswood had its own exchange (like Red Row, Stannington, Lynemouth, Ulgham, Longhorsley, Dudley, Seaton Deleval) you would probably be in the "not currently in rollout plans" as they all are.

Yes but the stickers on the FTTC CABs are not automatically done when the CAB is enabled.

On another thread it was mentioned that Open Reach staff do this voluntarily and I certainly wouldnt rely on the presence of a sticker to know whether I could order.

There is at least on CAB I am aware of that has been enabled for a long time (in North Tyneside), a sticker appeared on it a few weeks ago and within a fortnight somebody had peeled it off!

The nearest you will get will be this checker, but use the phone number if you have a "BT" one, or the address. The postcode checker there is unreliable as there could be more than one cabinet for it and not all have to be enabled.

that's the one in the hedge on the morpeth road, yes? I noticed that. Didn't look like open reach

Thats just up from where I saw a team of "Network Solutions" guys working.

Also saw a fibre truck in Ashington at the weekend - things are moving!

BT OR Engineers working in Pegswood opposite Cookswell Garage !

Yep, they were there last night too. Putting what looked like black tubing down a pavement manhole.

I so wish we had better and more official ETAs, this is maddening.

Hi everyone,

We have many customers ask if FTTC is available in their area and many get confused (as we did at first) if the exchange has been enabled why are you not able to get it your work premises! In fact open reach have to individually turn on every box and normally the way to spot if they have is the box will have some yellow paint on it! (so we've heard!) We have a huge list of numbers which we check weekly and inform our customers once the cabinet has been switched on. Open Reach say they are turning on thousands of cabinets each week around the country so it seems to be a waiting game!

Kind Regards,
Dialect Telecom

Pegswood has super fast fibre optic broad band!

Nothing here yet.

Still don't know if it's my CAB or if I am on a Direct line.

When there were BT problems a few months ago, my neighbours didn't suffer but I did.

It was solved by BT fiddling with a roundabout about a mile away. I've also always had a slightly slower connection than my neighbours.

I don't know. When the roundabout thing happened, we lost our landline, and according to OR we are on The Cabinet In The Hedge (P10).

On Brocksburn Park, I think Burghley Gardens is the only street on P10, the rest are EO. I /think/

But you could always email OR and ask them, they usually give a fairly quick response. I think they're used to it by now.

Really helpful reply from BT

You are served by a cabinet and you do *not* have a direct line to the exchange.

FTTC Ready for service date: 2012-12-31

Predicted speeds,

Upstream bandwidth: 6Mbit/s
Downstream bandwidth: 34.6Mbit/s

PCP/Cab Id: 10

That's good news. Just a word of caution though. Don't get too hopeful about the date. It can go back 3 months during the last week or so of December.

OR were working on the p10 cabinet again today.

No. And your link gives a blank within the Pegswood thread.

In reply to a post by roraz:

I read online that Morpeth is going to get an exchange cabinet for those on an EO line. Does anybody know when this is going live?

I took a quick look and it seems that there are to be 3 more cabinets (22, 23, 31) for that exchange.
Cabinets 22 and 23 seem to be for the EO Lines however cabinet 31 (mostly for PCP31 lines) may also support a few EO lines along with cabinets 11 and 24.

It looked like there was plans for some EO lines to get FTTP, but now seems most likely to get FTTC.

As for when, I cannot see any dates apart from this:

Exchange Name: Morpeth

I emailed the guys over at iNorthumberland to see if they have had any more infor regarding my line on the exchange, and this is the reply:

Thanks for the information. You are served by the new cabinet being installed outside the telephone exchange. There was a lot of work on this over the last week (the cause of the roadworks in the area!) so now that this is complete we hope the services will be live within the next 2 to 3 months.


If you have signed up at www.inorthumberland.org.uk/pledge then we will email you once orders can be placed.

So fingers crossed, it should be soon!!

Yup, fingers crossed.

BTW, how far are you from your exchange?

You are served by the new cabinet being installed outside the telephone exchange.

If the new cabinet is that close to the exchange and your on a lengthy line, you may not get full speed.

Im a couple of hundred yards down the road - I get 18mps at the moment with adsl, so will see what happens...

Ah, that's about 180m so shouldn't bee too bad, not too sure if your an EO line or already on a cabinet, but it all depends on the routing of the cables, but going by that you get about 18Mbps I guess you should get an ok speed with fibre.

im on a package with higher upload speed, so have sacrificed some download speed because of that. I was told originally I could get north of 20meg, so see what happens!?

Also today I noticed on the openreach checker, my line went from being in a superfast area but not available, to being in a enabled area, so hopefully in the next weeks that will change to accepting orders
