Delays

Just had both my exchanges put back 3 months before Golive

FTTC - Exchange Name: SCARTHO Status Coming Soon Forecast date: March 2014 Was Dec 2013, gutted to say the least

I don't know how accurate those dates are now, but in the past they were frequently put back every three months for a total of a year or more overall delay.
The dates are usually based on 3 month boundaries, and just before the cabinet really does go live the date jumps forward to a more or less 'real' date.

Exchange now live but looks like I will miss out as the local UKBD has decided all those that have Virgin access can get FTTC and us at the end of the road that does not have access to VM as we was never cabeled up in the street, cannot get FTTC either due to lack of funds to give us a cabinet.

Cannot believe i spent a year campaigning to get DSL into my area and winning a national award for it to be kicked in the teeth like this.
