Re: FTTC/P

Superfast Leicestershire probably did not look at a map at all...project teams are not renowned for being broadband experts

If they just put a VDSL2 cabinet at the existing PCP then at 2.4km you are not going to get superfast.

If they put an additional cabinet in place in Shackerstone, or run FTTP to the premises in Schackerstone then superfast speeds will be possible, but those are BIG IF'S and until its live you should not bet on anything like that happening.

In reply to a post by 8skellerns:
Oh, I'm 1.5 miles from the cab located in Bilstone, I'm in Shackerstone. Superfast Leicestershire says we will have superfast by 2017. How is that possible 1.5 miles away from the cab?


I have taken this up with our local BDUK team, it would seem they like to stretch the truth 'a bit' to make it look like they are doing a good job.
In my case in Beds, the BDUK 1 map showed my house would get 'superfast' and a check of the phone number showed it would get 'superfast, in reality I am now getting 2.5mb on a FTTC connection, and even if there is a problem which could get fixed it is believed the max will be 4mb.
At a meeting with beds bb officer, BT regional manager and OR regional manager they agreed the map and line check had been misleading and that BDUK 2 maps would not be same, well guess what, it shows 'superfast' availible from the next village right to the field which adjoins the back of my house, there are no houses there, and never will be, even if there was the line would pass my house, complete [censored].
