Looks like NDTHA34 is still not operational. Same as mine (NDTHA31). They seem to have enabled 10 FTTC cabinets and then stopped!

As yours is the nearest cabinet to the exchange, you would think that it would be enabled early, but perhaps they think that you should have a good speed anyway.

I was Anon, in the above post.

It worries me that I might be connected straight to the exchange.... Do you know how that works? What distances are connected straight to?

Have you checked your postcode against the December 2011 spreadsheet, as it would say if you are either connected to the cab or on a excange only line.

If you post your postcode we can check for you.

If you are on a exchange only lines they can either be short distances or very long, openreach has plans for the exchange only lines but its believed this wont start till 2014 once the main rollout has finished-.

As they will likely be on infill in enabled areas, for the exchange only lines it will be a mix off installing FTTP for short exhange only lines or FTTC on long lines- either new cabinet or put the lines to a existing FTTC cab if its commerically viable.

I've not checked, but only because I can't find the spreadsheet LOL. ANy chance of a link? Cheers

Have replied via pm- op is connected to pcp 34, 100% of the lines for their postcode.

All none live cabinets in Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Margate checked today, and found two new live cabinets in Ramsgate:

Edit: Forgot to add that I've noticed on Roadworks.org a lot of Ramsgate cabinets scheduled for additional earth rods over this weekend, and also another lot of blockage clearances.

Also only one cab left to go in in Broadstairs (unless it's already there), and thats at the top of Northdown Rd in St. Peters.

after looking at your google map thing, which is very good I must say it appears that botany road is not going to get installed. When I saw the road works there last week and was hopeful it was bt however it looks like its the gas board re-plumbing something - so annoying! I take it there is no new rollout plans atm?

Bottany Rd (NDBRO21) was not scheduled in the December list, I don't think this cabinet serves enough properties to make it cost effective.

There's another in Broadstairs NDBRO 5 which serves Salisbury Ave, Park Ave and a large chunk of Ramsgate Rd. Really can't understand why this one is not being done.

There are others, but these cover industrial estates or retail areas, or not enough properties like the one in. Stirling Way, by the Marlow school .

I know that NDBRO 5 was not in the April list, but forgot to ask about 21, I doubt it is.

I emailed Ian Livingston about both these and got a pretty standard non helpful reply.

lmaooo now look it was meant to be june now look

Not sure where you got that from Super Fast Where and When still states June for Broadstairs, as for Margate (Thanet) & Ramsgate they are accepting orders, and I really don't think Broadstairs is going to take much longer.

I noticed that there are loads of ducting road works in Broadstairs, with 174 meters scheduled for Bromstone/Rumfields Rd, that is the ducting to my cabinet (18), so I don't expect mine to be live until at least mid July - it'll probably go live whilst I'm on holiday!

PS It wouldn't surprise me if the where and when site showed September as we're so close to the end of the month, but that doesn't mean it won't be available before then.
