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.

He is on Cuckoo Oak cab 8.

I didn't say it was full. It's almost full say engineer. I know it will be nearly full as my fibre attainable rate is dropped from 113136Kbps to 89671Kbps now.

No its not even remotely close to being full.

I've just been told there are only 8 on my cab out of 64. It's all about 8 today lol

Wait for three months time, your cab probably get 58 out of 64.

Thanks for reminding me, Ribble, need to find out how full Hunslet 82 is and if it isn't close chase up people to put their orders in.

Yeah I remember that bit, though I think the chap was monitoring it on both phone number and address.

Regardless I'll retract the post, you have a point and the 4 for 5 quid ale from Asda may have been talking for me.

Thanks RONSKI.

Bleh, drawn a blank.

Ribble, if you wouldn't mind please is MYHLT 82 close to full?

Some more properties just been bulit and will be getting residents imminently so if it's really close current residents will need to order sooner rather than later.

Thanks Sir.

Any chance of finding out how full WWEXMO cabinet 23 is? Thanks.

Could be about 22-23% used

Ribble,

any chance of checking how full Kennford cab 2 is please?, my sync has gone from 52meg down to 30 and I'm hoping it's because a lot of people have joined, I have a feeling though that not many people have signed up as there has been no advertising etc around here that it's available, so have a feeling I can expect it to keep going down when more people join,

thanks

Its got a lot of users on it

Thanks for checking Ribble, I was the very first one to be connected to the cabinet so knew I would be effected by cross talk a lot and was worried I'd lost a lot of speed and not many people had joined.
Thankfully this is not the case

Thanks again for checking.

<10% used

Its 128 port cab with 1 card installed

The one card gives 64 ports, so what he said was accurate. Until it gets the second line card it's a 64 port bit of kit.

. I dont get why there is a cab here with 7 people on it and that's in service BUT I offered BT 150 in my old area and they said no...

And now they are doing it anyway

Sorry, don't understand the question

Approximately 3.5% used ports

Thanks and what about my parents fibre on Cuckoo Oak Cabinet 9?

Edited by adslmax (Thu 29-May-14 18:21:16)

About 4.5%

Thanks, interesting. Just wondering where did u get all these information from? Wish BT Wholesale Availibility Checker does show how many percent on the cabinet ports left.

lol I was surprise my parents had more percent than me even thought my cabinet went LIVE first.

Ribble what happen to the last cabinet? As Cuckoo Oak Cabinet 6,8,9 all done. But Cabinet 7 not done? ( I can see very few houses nearby cabinet 7 probably the reason that BT will not put fibre there)

Not really relevant to most people when they want to check if they can get broadband or not though, is it?

Given how they must be coining it in on 8 and 9 with that level of take up I'm surprised they haven't enabled 7.
