Are you showing your CBT isn't connected to anything? if thats the case they weren't the only ones

They're still running fjbre feeds to our CBT's so guess we're maybe a week or so behind where you are. There's contractors here every day now as they work the back haul fibre up the road, they're currently 3 poles away so fingers crossed

Not really they finished some time ago, maybe next time quote the date on the posts you're quoting or would that not be as funny trying to humiliate me?

These CBT's I assumed weren't being used as they've been up disconnected for 2 years after the BDUK build went out of scope, plus it's not MY job to check whether the cbt they're connecting to is connected or is it? Or should I be going up poles to check do you think?

The infrastructure guys came round & put new ones up on other poles & then the checker said fttp live hardly me being unreasonable.

No need to be rude digging up a post from some time ago that's now outdated as they've filled the holes back in up the road, seeded grass on the village green & taken all the barriers down & added the post codes as available on the checker.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek given they had to climb over that coiled fibre to get to that cbt, the next pole in both directions ARE connected so I assumed they'd just take the fibre to the next pole with the working CBT I don't think given the checker let me order that was an unreasonable expectation
It's not up to me to check things are connected, it's not up to me to determine what kit is deprecated or not. If the checker says I can order & it's live then that is all I care about,end of.

The post I referenced was from just over 3 weeks ago on 21st May 2021 not some time ago as you suggested twice in your reply, I was not being rude thats why I winked.

PS - I can understand your upset but please don't take it out on my post when I was also making a tongue in cheek post.

Well, to me it looks like they've connected you to a CBT that isn't connected to anything?!

Maybe I'm a suspicious blighter, but is this a genuine google url in your link?

Edit: That also required me to sign in with my google password? Which I have not entered.

Edit 2: .gl is the Greenland TLD

Is an old Google URL shortener. Is deprecated now but still redirects to the usual Google domain. Nothing sus. Nothing to do with Greenland.

It might be re-directing, (I believe you), but it is still the TLD for Greenland.

If Donald didn’t get it, maybe Sergey and Larry did 😀

Didn't for me, tried multiple browsers.

Correct, as the Italian domain is often used by IT companies.

Google now have their own TLD, so they have moved to services such as https://blog.google which I feel is an abuse of the TLD system.

Thats strange it doesn't need a sign in for me and I'm not already signed in.

Tuvalu started it by realing they could cash in on their .TV - and have been for many years.

"That also required me to sign in with my google password? Which I have not entered."

Ditto for me.
