The postcode checker only shows ADSL results, use the address checker with only your postcode in then pick your house number. You may see the correct results.

That is exactly what I did. It did not return any results on the cabinet it is connected to. It just shows Exchange BISHOPSGATE no cabinet number because my line is still on EO.

If you look at my post from 17th of August, it was like this.
CONNECT
We're connecting power to the new fibre cabinet and joining the new fibre lines to the existing copper network.
You can't order a fibre service today but typically it'll be available to your premises within the next four months.
Find out more about the fibre journey.

Exchange name: Bishopsgate
Exchange status: Fibre enabled
Cabinet number: 5
Technology: -

Obviously it was cabinet number 5 pointing to the one in Hanbury Street. This was also reflected in the Wholesale DSL checker when I did put in my address instead of the postcode.

But both of these search results have now reverted back to this few days later in August and has stayed that way.

BT BROADBAND AVAILABILITY CHECKER
Address ______________________ on Exchange BISHOPSGATE

You're in a plan to get Superfast fibre but we haven't started work yet.
It'll be built either as part of our fibre programme or through a partnership with your local authority.

That means they have not yet connected the EO Line to this new cabinet. I'm not sure if they have changed their minds or simply haven't re-updated the checker to let us know otherwise.

I just tried various addresses in Pauline House (E1 5NX), Davenant House (E1 5NT), The Brady Centre (E1 5HU) and they are live on cab 5. All others I checked were on different cabs, didn't find any EO lines.

Have you checked other addresses via the BT Wholesale Checker in your building to make sure it's not a database error?

I'm still on an EO line when I check my address

22 Wheler St, E16NP

That's because cab 5 is not in the area to serve E1 6NP

Yes, that's what I have tried. I am in E1 6DJ and I tried E1 6DH as well they do not show any cabinets. It shows as Exchange BISHOPSGATE. In the other website When can I get fibre? It shows Pending EO Line where as before it was in the Connect stage.

Cab 5 was meant to serve my address. I'm not sure if this is a clerical error. But it either appears that BT OR have decided to change their minds and not connect that cabinet to my building or due to technical reasons.

Because as we can see from the other postcode addresses that you've posted they are much closer to the cabinet at 0.3 Miles to Hanbury street while I am 0.4 miles from where I live in Commercial Street.

As we've discussed before the Cabinet has enough capacity to connect at least over 300 lines. My building has 82 flats the capacity should be there for it to be connected to that cabinet.

The only thing I can assume is that BT indeed have changed their minds. If they have a plan to install another cabinet even closer to where I live that would be even better and I am happy to wait patiently for it. But obviously as I am still left without information that uncertainty makes the situation frustrating.

In the case of dotmannn E1 6NP does not show as a plan for Superfast but still as Exploring Solutions. But in my case E1 6DJ shows as a Plan and even was in the Connect stage initially showing Cab 5. Maybe I need to contact Openreach Support to find out more info.

There is no way you would be connected to cab 5 so that must have been an error.

I don't know why you said that the cabinet was going to cover Commercial Street as well that would mean that it should've served my postcode by logic. You were the one coincidentally who posted this 3 months ago in response to my post.

That's right. I also think this cabinet is more aimed at covering Hanbury St, Brick Lane, Fournier St. But I don't think it will be Commercial Road.

I am in Commercial Street and that is closer to the cabinet compared to Commercial Road. And that still further away from the cabinet. 0.4 miles away from my property thus I would not be happy with this kind of FTTC as speeds and reliability will not be good enough.

In reply to a post by witchunt:

Sorry. Commercial St not Commercial road

I have strong intuitions. I casted my scepticism when I said that with 0.4 miles the speed to be around 30Mbps according to the thinkbroadband chart estimation. Even though many others have said this was pessimistically underestimated. While j0hn83 insisted that he was able to get 46Mb with 1022m line. Again that depends on line and quality.

I mean seriously, until the reliability and speed cannot be guaranteed I shouldn't have to be relying on 'hope' that I'll get decent speeds living 643.7 meters from the cabinet. That's like building a low end PC and hoping it can run Crysis with 30 to 60 frames per second.

To tell you frankly I am not too unhappy for BT not to connect the Hanbury Street Cabinet to my Commercial Street postcode after waiting 10 years. I am even happy to wait another year if Openreach install a cabinet closer to Commercial Street that would give me proper satisfaction. Instead of settling for 30Mbps which would not be good enough of an upgrade.

There's a green cabinet in Wentworth street that serves a couple of new residential blocks next to my building that is around 89 meters for Sloane Apartments Old Castle St, London E1 7AJ. That cabinet does not connect to my building but if it did it would've probably given me over 70Mbps.

But if BT OR installed another one next to that Cabinet 27 location then that would've been awesome.

I have mixed feelings. I was going to settle for 30Mbps Hanbury St cabinet as I don't have much hope in Openreach doing any better as until they continue to monopolise they'll probably not bother to put any effort into it. It's going to be a snail pace. This is why at the same time I don't have regrets because if they were to connect a cabinet that isn't close enough it will remain connected for a long, long time potentially being even more frustrating of a wait before transitioning to FTTP.

So it is probably better that we wait either for FTTC cabinet to be closer or wait in future for G.Fast/FTTP.

G.Fast only comes where there is an FTTC cabinet.

I said it would cover a block around Hanbury St, Fournier St, Brick Lane and Commercial Road (corrected to Commercial St).
I never stated nor implied it would cover the whole of Commercial St.
