FTTC/P

I am connected to cabinet 2 on the twycross exchange. I know my cabinet is planned to be upgraded to FTTC, but the exchange it is connected to is showing FTTC & FTTP. Can anyone give me any info on dates for this cab to be upgraded and where the FTTP is?

Anyone? I see others getting detailed info about their cabs and area, yet no one knows anything about my area/cab?

Cab 2 is part of the extension projects, rather than the original bduk phase 1 roll-out. Have no dates.

On the FTTC/P no evidence of any live FTTP or actual plans for it. The FTTC/P exchange level indicator is not worth following really.

Presume you know where your cabinet is and your distance to it? Since if you live in Shackerstone any FTTC is not going to be superfast.

At the moment it's likely to only be FTTC. On the codelook site it shows FTTC or FTTP, not &. Where have you seen this information?

Roadworks.org shows from 19-28 Jan:

Install 7m of 1 way poly duct in Verge,Provide, Renew or Recover 1 DSLAM street cabinet and base.

Will this mean my cab will have a onesie cab or a second cab next to it? I know the other side of the road 5m away from the cab their is a manhole with a fibre backbone running through it and some huge joints, and a duct running from it back across the road to the cab 2, with phone wires running back and forth through it (E and D sides) but not sure what the 17m of two way polyduct is for in the grass verge?

Openreach enabled exchanges pdf file says my exchange is fttc/p

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?

Dunno, but a DSLAM CAB means FTTC for lines on the associated PCP.

Are you saying that www.dslchecker.bt.com has confirmed your telephone is connected to the cabinet that you are 1.5 miles, 2.4 km, away from?

I don't think you'll be seeing usable speeds at that distance.

If an existing PCP is present then unlikely to be a onesie

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.

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].
