Got email reply from NGA about time. They say:

Dear ************,



Thank you for your enquiry. You are connected to the Cuckoo Oak Exchange, cabinet 8.



I have been in contact with the Project Manager and he advises that work will start on the deployment of cabinet 8 in a later phase, towards the end of 2014. If all goes to plan, we are hopeful the cabinet will be ready for service November 2014, barring any complications. However we are currently negotiating a Wayleave for permission to install our plant, this may cause further delays until end of November 2014.



I suggest you continue to monitor our Web-Site which will keep you up to date with our latest deployment news for your exchange, the site also contains FAQs.



The Web-Site can be viewed using the following link:

I am sorry I cannot provide a definite date at this time.



Regards,

Emma

So, it been pushed back from November 2013 to November 2014 now. Not happy at all. So, why is Hollinswood got no wayleave premission and why cabinet 8 need wayleave premission for?

On the bright side after a 10 month campaign and 11 month wait, construction has started on the local cabinet here.

This will boost broadband speeds in this area from 1 - 2Mb downstream and 200-600k upstream.

Regarding your question a Google of 'wayleave' gives an Openreach page as the first response. Have a read.

Thank you for that copy/paste. While Openreach will hit their target of 66% commercial coverage by May 2014 they are clearly planning to continue with cabinets they've already decided to deploy but were unable to, which is good to know.

At a guess, the cable for Hollinswood doesn't cross someone else's land but the cable for Cab 8 does?

Or, possibly, the landowner involved for Cab 8 is hard to find/being difficult.

It say on this page it taken within 12 weeks but wait for a year?

How long do I have to obtain a wayleave?
We want the service to be provided as quickly as possible for the customer and end-user (i.e.: the resident or business). The sooner the wayleave application is agreed, signed and sent back to us, the sooner we can get to work. We normally only send out one reminder letter, but hope to have had a response within 12 weeks.

My cabinet 8 is sit by by owner address wall and lots of residental pathway.

Maybe the owner of the house wall rejected BT cabinet there?

No it doesn't- note the word "hope"�. (springs eternal etc etc)

I try to puzzle out why is Cabinets 1-7 already have FTTC and Cabinets 10-17 had it too. Why number 8 and 9 not doing and need wayleave? Doesn't make any sense at all?

Maybe 8 and 9 were the only two that needed wayleave? Not all cabinets need it, it depends where they are and what cable routes are intended.

Hi guys, I have a question.

I was wondering, can 1 Fibre cabinet cater for 2 normal cabinets?

The reason I was asking is that I'm on the Runcorn Main exchange and by my house we have a bus way. On one side of the bus way (2 lanes) there is a Fibre cabinet by Cabinet 25, but on the other side, there is another cabinet (Cabinet 26) with no Fibre cabinet by it. The distance between Cabinet 25 and Cabinet 26 are literally about 10 to 20 meters away from each other.

I'm on Cabinet 26 and on the checkers (BT Wholesale and Samknows.com), it is stating that it will be around May 31st when FTTC may be available in my area, yet there is no VDSL cabinet next to it, only next to Cabinet 25.

Any information or explanation would be greatly appreciated!!!

No, at least not at present. In the future, maybe.
