Fibre on our Estate

I live on an estate which has a BT cabinet at the entrance to the estate. BT installed a fibre cab next to it a couple of months ago.

I am about 300m from this cabinet (it is straight down the road). There is also a normal BT cabinet right out side my house.

When I check my number in the BT checker, it says my cabinet will be fibre enabled on 31/3/2012.

My question is, will I be connected to the cabinet 300m away or will I be connected to the one right outside my house?

Cheers

The cabinet should have a number on it, do a search for your post code in this spreadsheet and if your cabinets been scheduled to be upgraded it will show up.

The P number is the cabinet number, it may list more than one cabinet, in which case you've got no way of knowing which one. If there's no results then either the postcode format you entered is wrong or that postcode was not scheduled in December.

If it does not show a total of 100% lines then there's a cabinet that is not listed, and therefore not scheduled.

Also the date you are seeing is only a guide, and could change. Mine states 1/03/2012 and my cabinets installed, but alas still nothing.

It shows :

SLRSN ROSSINGTON DN110FD {SLRSN}{P3} 0 8% 3.23 6b
SLRSN ROSSINGTON DN110FD {SLRSN}{P5} 0 90% 23.1 6b

Cabinet outside house is 89T

Hopefully your not on 89T, as it's not listed in the spreadsheet. Although there is 2% of lines missing from the information you posted.

I wonder if that is the correct number or if it is even a BT cabinet, highest number on the spreadsheet for Rossington is P14

T suggests its a TPON cabinet

Hmm... I think I've seen a BT engineer working on it outside my house - I could be wrong though, I might have dreamt it!

I guess I'll just have to wait until the end of the month and keep checking the BT checker to see what happens.

Thanks for your help.

In reply to a post by Ribble:

T suggests its a TPON cabinet

Ah, yes this would make sense as the estate was TPON.
We only got our copper overlay in 2009 to enable us to have broadband.
I had to get a new line/phone number when I was finally able to place the ADSL order.

Maybe I am connected to the cabinet at the estate entrance after all.

yes, quite likely

Id be fairly sure that the cab in the picture isn't a BT one. It's more than likely that your line is fed from the cabinet as you come in your estate.

There are actually three lines for your postcode --

SLRSN,ROSSINGTON,DN110FD,{SLRSN}{M_F},1,1%,,,,
SLRSN,ROSSINGTON,DN110FD,{SLRSN}{P3},0,8%,3.23,6b,Yes,FTTC
SLRSN,ROSSINGTON,DN110FD,{SLRSN}{P5},0,90%,23.1,6b,Yes,FTTC

Please don't ask me what the M_F signifies, I do not know. Lot's of people have speculated but no one has been able to give a definitive answer.

For the record, here follows all the indicators from the December 2011 spreadsheet that are not of the Pnumber format --

Zarjaz -- Is there any chance that you might be able to determine the meaning of the above indicators, please?
