FTTC Rye (sussex)

Hi,

Well I just got mailed this from superfast.co.uk

Just have a question that others here will know. When this launches will I be able to instantly get Sky fibre.

Also, on average how long after an announcement like this do these things take to get installed? There website says 2013 but how reliable actually is that date ?

Thanks for telling us that you're interested in superfast fibre broadband.
We're really pleased to let you know that your local exchange, RYE, has been added to our rollout plans.
You can get more details about the current status of the RYE exchange, and find out when superfast fibre broadband will be available, using our new interactive map at www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when.

Rye was only announced in September, so has a very vague date of some point during 2013 at this time.

On the where and when list you can get more excited when it moves into the coming soon list. Even once the exchange is accepting orders there is no guarantee that your specific street cabinet will receive the service.

If Sky LLU is available at the exchange, then the Sky Fibre service should be available, but it is so far away that there is no telling what changes will happen in the marketplace between now and then.

Hey,

I just seen in my area that this has appeared at cabinet locations all over Rye on roadworks.org

Yes

Hey,

I was able to lay my hands on some council documents after lots of searching. I have uploaded them to my own webserver. They have very detailed photo's and a really nice layout of each of the PCP sites each document also shows the proposed DSLAM type.

PCP 1 - Site Plan - Photos - Info

BT request to council - PCP 6 - Site Plan - Photos - Info

How did you find them ?

Some councils put a lot of planning paperwork online

Quite easily, here http://ocellaweb.rother.gov.uk/portal/page/portal/ro...

Seems PCP 9 had previously been refused, although I must admit it's first location was ridiculous.

Perhaps not quite so easily, as I couldn't seem to find the applications listed in the post above on there.

Interesting, I did not see the refusal.

When searching I took words from the address "ocellaweb rother rye PCP 9 #" and went 1 through 10

It would seem that searching here with MORRISON UTILITY SERVICES as the agent turns up 9 results, but still not the new one for PCP 9.

Seems you need to use OPENREACH or BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLC as the applicant for other results.

The application for PCP 10 has been withdrawn.
