not everything has to start in london. people suprisingly do live outside the M25 ring.

My choice would be 10mbps

Perhaps many of London's are already enabled, and wouldn't be on that list.

No sign of my exchange. Harrumph!

The list shows everything enabled and planned.

But NOT correct on dates so how can you say everything?

utter chaos is correct as I've said before I don't think any1 in BT can give you a correct answer.
Case in point :- My Exchange date has been all over the place, it went from Dec 2010 to Mar 2011 then June 2011 then Dec 2011, and like you RobertoS all the new DSLAM around me are humming away.
I did a check y'day on my dads line and it told me he can have FTTC NOW. Ok I tho if he can have it why not me as he's on the same Exchange, so ring Infinity sales team and was told that my exchange date has been pushed back to a time in the future and so no date can be given to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Went on to tell the person about the cables, new cabs installed Etc, nope I'm wrong, mmmmmmmmmmmm ok I give my dad's number and am told that yes an order can be placed as his exchange is now up and running with Fibre, Great can I place an order then please, No sorry your Dad pays the bill he will have to do it, thats ok can I place an order for myself please, umm no sorry I've just told you about your exchange, mmm ok can you please tell me why my dad can order Fibre and I can't????? as we are on the same the exchange, Now the BEST PART.
No you are not on the same Exchange you are Llantrisant 2 and your Dad is on Llantrisant 1, Right so the Exchange is spilt in 2 then, No they are different Exchanges in different place's 1 is off Cowbridge Road and the other is near Mwyndy Junction.
Right I said thanks alot bye now.
UTTER CHAOS is true as there is only 1 Exchange, so I've given up on ever getting FTTC.
Cheers

Because BTOR enable certain cabinets before others, they may well come back to the area and do more. An exchange might be only a few miles away from an enabled area, but it doesn't mean that exchange will be covered with FTTC also

Can't explain why they might think there is a 2nd exchange (unless its a concentrator).
However, FTTC needs to be available at both the exchange and your cabinet.

I'm in the same boat - our exchange is live, but out cabinet isn't yet. More annoyingly, all the surrounding cabinets are live, including one that is closer to me (as the crow flies) than the one that actually serves us.

The rollout document only details the exchange level, and not the cabinet level - and not all cabinets on an exchange will get FTTC.

makes sense when you consider many companies in london may be buying more lucrative products than FTTP? I think this is a revenue protection policy.

Although I think you will disagree with me on this but what we will probably agree on is that the rollout raises a lot of ?'s as it certianly has much mystery to it as to how they determine viability.

That is absolutely true. There is no logic to why some cabinets are enabled for FTTC in the exchange area and some arent, its case of... you may get fibre and your neighbour may not!

Don't think it was a contractor I rung ( 0800 525 775 ).
Away I understand about Cabs being connected up at different times.
Again I can't understand that people working for BT sales think there are 2 Exchanges, there is only 1 and it was opened in 1928.
Just back from my dad's and had him to ring the number above and told them I could deal with it for him, So started to order it ( He's 85 and does not what it, he's happy with what he's got) and after a few minutes was told hang on my dads cab is not ready yet but will be very very soon, also the other Cab's for FTTC from the exchange also, so in 2 days get told different information. As luck would have it on my way home BTOR Eng's where at my new DSLAM Cab, so stopped and asked them when and again was told very very shortly, only a few small things to complete, Also told them about my chat to the sales team, they were laffing and said what idiots.
Again as a big company I'm just amazed that no 1 seems to be able to answer question's from us and giving different replies.
cheers

an exchange can have fttc within its boundaries but it wont necessarily be the headend for that cabinet.not all exchanges are termination points for the fttc cabinets within its boundaries, thats not how the network is constructed
