generally, bt dont replace the cabinets, they supplement them.
the list I found for mylof lists:
<snip>
but even when on the list dosnt mean they happen...

Somewhat OT but how do you find which cabs are to be enabled please? Or more directly, does anyone here know which cabs are to be enabled on the Vauxhall exchange (WRVAUX) or can tell me where to check for myself? Thanks

What is the question?

Are you asking is it normal for one cab to supply service and another not? Yes. Or are you asking is it normal for one cab to supply service when another does not, when the cable would have passed the non-serviced cab to reach the other? It may happen.

There is no set formula for which cabs BT enable, and it could be they just have not got to your yet.

Hello.

I did say i would take pictures of the cab's in question.. I can confirm the cab 26 which does have fibre is much bigger with air vents etc.. Cab15 which im assigned too is small and of the normal size..

Anyway i have a reason now for the none fibre change, and its due to the council not having rights to the pavements and road as it still under the house developers until the roads are adopted early next year..

SO another question.. has the boat sailed on me getting fibre now as the cable guys have laid the fibre to the 'available' cabinets.? surely they wont come back and lay another fibre cable just for cabinet 15 will they.? OR can they piggy back from the fibre off the nearby cabinet.?

I don't think the council has anything to do with it, unless it is a conservation area which doesn't sound likely.

In general BT do not need to dig anything up to run cable - it goes through existing ducts. You seem to have inferred this anyway by saying the fibre for cab 16 must pass cab 15.

The only digging is likely to be to lay copper between the fibre cab and the existing one. Where is the fibre cab for cab 16 - between it and you or the other side? If it is near you then there is no technical reason so far as I know why cab 15 couldn't be connected to it as well. 288 connections permitting!

Agreed, but this appears to be a private road. From what you are saying the developer is planning on letting the council adopt the road, once the estate is finished?

I would have thought that BT would still undertake the work subject to the deleopers approval, they may have denied them access?

It appears you may have missed the initial sailing, you can only hope they've left some fibre in the road ready to connect you at a later date.

Hi Iain,
Out of interest who told you it was due to the road not yet being adopted?

I've moved onto the same estate (right at the opposite end) so also keen to know if FTTC will ever happen as we only get a 1mb connection here - it's like travelling back in time a decade

Not entirely sure if i'm on that cabinet - depends on if the entire estate is hanging off that box or if there's another one knocking around on the estate.

Hello sovietUK. Private message me your address?

Things have changed since this thread. As im now talking with Openreach direct as they cant tell me a valid reason why they did not install fibre (Turns out its nothing to do with planning permission).

I will keep you updated on developments.!

Are we talking about the East Ardsley estate called the pastures. I am moving to meadowside rd in the next few weeks and have been researching the broadband as its critical for my work.

As an Anonymous poster I would remind you that you cannot use the private messaging system on this bbs.

If you are a registered user but forgot to login then you may log in and use it of course, but I would suggest that anyone thinks very carefully before giving their private address to someone they do not know.
