Might be a radio station or UAX exchange there, their different to TRS sites

the population density in an area (if you pick your area) is probably the same in London as any other city. I would imagine the regulatory BS in London is at least knee deep, which may be a factor.

I see Holmfirth has the /P designator - Last of the Summer Whine ?

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

Yes the usual line. Thanks for that but I'm quite aware of this being a relatively recent resident of London.

It doesn't change that London has the highest concentration of people anywhere in the UK, some of the most affluent parts of the UK and is, according to the various research, the most viable place to deploy FTTP with the lowest cost per home passed.

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?

I didn't say anything about the accuracy of the data merely that it's there which is perfectly accurate.

If you read the post I quoted you'll get the idea what I was responding to.

I would imagine if you carefully pick areas you'd get similar values though London as a city is more populous than any other city per sq KM.

The regulatory stuff sounds a more plausible excuse though, I'm not sure whether this was considered within the BSG research that gave a considerably lower cost per home passed than pretty much anywhere else.

I've a suspicion though that it's purely for commercial reasons, getting the lower cost and quality product out for the sake of achieving the declared targets. Easiest place to get over 10% of the population done in a nice block where exchanges can be neatly merged with others and multiple exchanges terminated at others essentially consolidating the network.

Kensington and Chelsea would be a good case study, very high population density and plenty of money (including the £25k housing benefit recipients)

Ah!
BTW as of some time today now says Your cabinet is planned to have WBC FTTC by 31st January 2011. Infinity checker gives the same date.

Mine is still saying 31st March after being moved from 31st Dec '10. At least the FTTC Cab is there now, it was placed on Monday (10th), so its probably not been connected up yet.

There is only one exchange at Llantrisant they must have been talking about cabs or out of their rear....

At least they've updated the info for Highams Park now. The last version of the doc still said Sept 2010, whereas at last check with Dave @ PlusNet, the trial wasn't due to start until at least early December 2010

Now says "Accepting CP orders now"
There was a load of digging along the road which runs horizontal to mine this morning ( I know the fibre runs along here), so think there may be some investigation needed over the weekend

Edit: Just been for a quick walk albeit in the dark. All the evidence left now of any digging is new patches of tarmac about every 100 yards in the middle of the road. I also noticed the cab across the road from me near the pole has disappeared and there is a double manhole in it's place right next to the pole. I still also have a cab at the end of my road on my side backing on to the end-of-terrace house there - no markings on this one whatsoever from what I can see, so could be a VM cab.


The cab disappearing could be why my sync has been a bit higher than of late, but I've no idea when the cab went

OR engineer had previously told me I am connected to the cab to the right of the pole across the road
