East and West Sussex Fibreoptic

Hey there. If any of you live in sussex, I will be giving out news of cabinets around the county and what BDUK are getting up to etc. If you want me to check anything for you, please chat on this new blog!

- Cabinet 4 has now got twin DSLAM built next to it. Exchange expected to be completed by E-SUSSEX BDUK by end of the year. Other cabinets around exchange area expected to be built by end of month.

- A couple of weeks ago E-SUSSEX BDUK installed a new experimental Cabinet 5 on Danehill Exhcange. It has normal copper cabinet and fibre cabinet in one. They are moving some addresses over to this cabinet for more reliable broadband. If you want a picture of cab then tell me. Cabinet 4 is expected to be completed in Phase 4, which is due in June. Cabinet 3 is rescheduled for later this year and Cabinets 1 & 2 are expected to be enabled by October 2015 with work starting on them in June.

Presumably just the standard all-in-One (onesie) cabinet now common for E/O conversions, or is it something different?

Do you know of any GEA-FTTP coverage in Crawley, I know the SDCRWLY exchange is BT FTTP activated but not had much look tracking down any areas with a roll out?

Cabinets Planned for FTTP:

71 | Phase 15a
72 | Phase 13a
76 | Phase 15a
122 | Phase 15a
125 | Phase 15a
127 | Phase 15a
132 | Phase 13a
133 | Phase 13a
135 | Phase 13a
136 | Phase 13a

All of these cabinets will receive FTTP by the end of the year. They are all being upgraded by WS BDUK. Phase 13a expected to be completed April - June 2015. Phase 15a expected to be completed June - December 2015.

The best thing I would do is email: [email protected] Also they have an updated checker on their website, so feel free to check your postcode on that to.

Hope you get your FTTP soon!

Hi Fred

Is this native FTTP or On Demand... also I'm on Cab 70... do you know anything about that?

I'm in Crowborough, which has good FTTC but was wondering if there are any plans for Groombridge as I was thinking of moving or FTTP in Crowborough.
