Now surely if I was getting it it would be available to her too? (She's not getting it installed anytime soon) but curious as to why my line would be diff and sister's? (I mean as I said she's in the next room)!

Odd (not complaining of course just curious as to why 2 lines could be so different considering the distance between the rooms)

Could just be a database error.

I'm sure it was available before................or maybe I took the last slot available (was in this situation where it was available before, disappeared then became available) curious minds think alike

Yes it could also be the cabinet is full of course. How long has your cabinet been accepting orders?

You could ask the engineer when he comes, see what he says.

Since last october. Might ask out of curiosity. if I remember

Which CP is her line rental with?

She's a BT customer too.

Seems to have fixed itself all of a sudden for her:

WBC FTTC Up to 41.6 Up to 6.5 -- 12-Jun-13

That's when it will be available again apparenty.

That implies the FTTC cabinet ran out of resources - either a linecard, or it needed an additional tie-cable running to the PCP.

It obviously took account of the fact that your order for tomorrow had used up some of the last remaining resources, even if it hadn't been installed yet.
