Phase 9a

Just done a check on my post code cf334nz .its says my cab will be done in phase 9a. Please tell me when this is. Already had bad news only a1.66 increase from my 4meg bah
Cheers Huw

Phase 9a means pretty little.

A lot of Openreach's deployments are overdue.

They are probably 3 to 5 months behind schedule at a guess.. bit ofc, BT won't release that infos.

Just be glad your getting it.

Thanks for that

Think phase 9 is set for 2013.
Now when in 2013 is anyone's guess

Am on phase 8 and set for September this year. So will expect them to start sometime in 2015 for me

In reply to a post by iwish:

When I use the BT online checker for a "9a" FTTC deployment in Exmouth it says the service will be available by the 30th of September.

Our exchange is 7A with a RFS date of June.
The first cabinets were only installed 3 weeks ago.

Phase 9 with September date seems very optimistic imho

I think some of the comments so far have been a bit pessimistic. Individual exchanges from previous phases being delayed doesn't mean yours will be delayed. BT announced your exchange would be upgraded last December and so at that point had a pretty good idea how things were going at other exchanges, which includes how good they were at estimating the roll out schedule.

The thinkbroadband article suggested most of the exchanges in this batch (which covered 8a, 8b and 9a) would be done by the end of 2012.

My area's cabinets are all phase 8a for activation on June 2012. Is this number good or bad? I've seen some people here mention 17a as well

9a is December 2012

9b is March 2012


Hope that helps. But as people have said some cabs are late. This is due to other issues (like power etc) however.

9b March 2013 even
