OK sorry to be a pain but I am starting to go mad now !! my wife is really concerned as for the last 2 weeks since getting my install date I have been looking / walking / cycling around for my Cab and I can't find it !!

My postcode is SE26 5TN and our estate is supposedly up and running (26 down 5 up) and our local exchange is Sydenham LSSYD.

I was able to check the DEC "leaked" database and it mentioned the p17 or p7 serves my line so I have been going for walk abouts after getting home from work, with a torch and I was able to find p17 here: http://g.co/maps/g8uhg

But I CANNOT find the p7 anywhere around with in a 1k ! I have found nearly every Virgin/CW/BT green boxes with various different CAB numbers but I can't find p7 !

Does the actual fibre follow a path ? this is the actual exchange: http://g.co/maps/as3ja

does anyone have a rough idea where the p7 could be ? before I become insane !!

Another update. Decided to call BT and get an answer as to why it's available to some of my road but not others. After a lengthy discussion I have been told that the lines are currently in the process of being enabled and that no one can order on my cabinet EVEN THOUGH the checker says they can. I obviously checked one such address and this appears to be true.

So, does this mean that I don't have to wait much longer? Seems odd some of the road can get a 'yes' on the checker while about ten numbers (including mine!) can't get anything, but I'm hoping that's just an issue that will be solved once it's all enabled.

Does 'in the process of being enabled' signal good news? I do hope so!

Your property is served by cabinet 17 (NOT 7) which went live on 22nd December 2011.

Cab 7 serves properties around the station. http://g.co/maps/tpqdn - so forget about that as it doesn't serve your property

BT are giving your the runaround. We can take your order for FTTC straight away.

If you have you're install date just wait till the engineer arrives and ask then where the cab is

Edit- asdl posted before me.

Thank you both !!

Have already ordered with BT and have a install date, so hopefully being 943 meters from the Cabinent will mean I should get a good line speed (BT Wholesale says 26 D 5 U)

The checker usual under estimates for FTTC so a faster speed is possible.

Just wondered if anyone could check if my cabinet will be going live. I am on the Lowestoft exchange and have an RFS date of June 2012. I am a long way from the exchange though so I doubt they'll bother with it!

Postcode is NR32 4XF

Thanks
