Cabinet near full

Today I saw BT Engineer open the cabinet (this cabinet is the one I am connecting to for fibre) as I asked him nicely this morning "Is this cabinet full yet?" and engineer say to me this cabinet is now on 280 users, 8 users left to fill up. I couldn't believe that my cabinet nearly full up since February went live. Sound like lots of unhappy virgin media customers in my area with badly congestion.

And he say there more likely an addition another cabinet soon. Does it mean BT will bring another huawei 288 cabinet next to my cabinet?

in that case you seem very lucky on your current level of crosstalk.

When the cabinet is full if you have FTTC on the number/address your checking it still says available, it will only say unavailable if you check an address/number that doesn't have FTTC.

I've seen this on a local cabinet NDBRO 10, I actually know three people on this cabinet, two have FTTC. Both said available, the third and other addresses said it was unavailable and more capacity was required. There is a post on here about.

Edit. See this post onwards

yeah , VMs way of upgrading is letting users leave to FTTC, bam upgraded

You were either given wildly inaccurate information or misunderstood. Cab 8 is no where close to being full

Cuckoo oak cabinet number 8 is nowhere near full.
