Exchange / Cabinet Query

Hi there.

Does anyone know of a tool or can do a lookup on a postcode for me to ascertain FTTC/FTTP availability.

Postcode is TR13 8TP (Helston, Cornwall)
.
I know the town has been enabled but BT checks are saying not available so I guess only certain cabinets are active.

Many thanks.

Phil.

This suggests your line is an exchange only one.

Results for Postcode TR13 8TP

Postcode	Exchange	Service Type	Probability	Speed Increase	Phase	Cabinet
TR138TP	HELSTON	This postcode has some Exchange Only lines This means there is currently no cabinet to run FTTC from. Openreach may deploy FTTC/P in the future to this area.	17%			M_A
TR138TP	HELSTON	This postcode has some Exchange Only lines This means there is currently no cabinet to run FTTC from. Openreach may deploy FTTC/P in the future to this area.	82%			M_B

We have also checked the latest Openreach data, which tells us the following:

Exchange	Name	FTTC or FTTP	Explanation
WWHELS	HELSTON	FTTC/P available	Where cabinets/fibre have been installed orders are being accepted, you can check with your telephone number at the BT Wholesale Checker.

That's confirmed my suspicions about exchange only lines.

Thanks.

There are 2 cabs in my village and the cab i am connected to shows no details in the speed increase and phase tabs, is this normal? postcode is pe344dg.

Why are you asking? You must know you are talking about December 2011 data which gave rise to this answer on 4 April.

As it wasn't scheduled, there wouldn't be a phase, would there! Because the phase is when it is scheduled.

If the cabinet isn't scheduled then it makes sense that they haven't provided an uplift estimate, as it might never be relevant.

In that same thread, on 21 June, you post that work next to your cabinet has started, and later in the thread that the cabinet is in place. Presumably the April 2012 data issued later than 4 April has a schedule and uplift figure.

That thread continues to last Friday.

Thanks for that RobertoS, as it says under my name (newbie) you will have to excuse me if i'm asking questions which seem stupid to people that know a lot more about it than me.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

Got that

Harrumph!

I think if you read the thread I linked to, you will find I have not been unhelpful to steveo69. I still think he could have worked out the answer to this latest question himself, with the facts he already had at his disposal.

Anyway, let's not have a row. His cabinet is about to be upgraded so he hasn't a problem.

Actualy, my response was strictly aimed at him and his 'stupid question' remark, nothing at all to do with your responses (always helpful, IMO).
