Thought I would create this as just discovered my mate in Berlin Road (Ore) can now get fibre. Annoying seeing as i'm on Baldslow and still can't get it grr!

There's only 6 or 7 live cabs on the Baldslow exchange at the moment. A mate of mine on Little Ridge Avenue is one of the lucky ones.

Openreach seem to have a shortage of engineers to do installs in the Hastings area because the guy that did my install on the 21st June was a field engineer usually working on commissioning cabinets.

Heres my speed test
400m from little ridge avenue cabinet (near tesco express)

Here's mine, about 300m from the cab opposite Hughenden Road. I'm only on a 40/2 service at the moment.

I just got Infinity in Bohemia Road (nearer Silverhill end of Bohemia Road) after hearing a friend of mine being offered it in Amherst Road. Pretty happy with it so far, getting around 37-39Mb/s down and 14-18Mb/s up with a 16ms ping. BT said we should be getting between 50Mb/s down and 13Mb/s up but I'm happy with the current speed, it's a vast improvement on our previous BT Broadband of 5Mb/s down and 0.3Mb/s up with a 45ms ping.

I live in TN35 5HE there is a new cab at the end of the road but i am told by Zen that the cab in my Area will not go live for at lest 12 Months

If anyone can tell me when this area will go live i would be gratefull

Got hooked up yesterday - best engineer I've ever met, and local to my area

Signed up for the 80, but not seeing anything over 40 just yet.

Very happy fibre fan now

I've just switched from 40 to 80 and getting a tad under 70Mbps down and 16Mbps up which isn't bad considering I was told I would get around 59Mbps down.

Lucky you, my cab still isn't live Gillsmans Hill area, still struggling along on 4 and a bit meg on 61db attenuation

Simon did you see the improved speeds almost immediately?

I'm waiting patiently for the ten days to pass but i am not seeing encouraging results from random bt speed tests at 10 in the morning thus far.

I plan on resetting tonight, just in case, then I plan to start placing calls to bt from the end of the week if no improvements.

Not panicking yet lol
