(although they must be picking up a fair old whack of residential customers)..

Yup, we are indeed.

The last 2 days, FTTC orders have actually been higher in volume than ADSL orders. However, this could be accounted by a few nice sized areas, with keen local support, coming on stream for the first time.

I'm waiting to move to you too, as soon as BT get the job done around here. They are now saying March 31 moved from 31 Dec '10.

it's slowly climbing back up again now, depending on the weather.

Condensation on the fibre - light can't get through the mist so well.

The weather gets cold again- profile drops to ~33500 and interleave goes back on

Roll on summer

Keep checking it, that's exactly what happened with mine and then they changed it to the 26th January on the 22nd of January ... hopefully yours comes forward rather than going back and further. I have friends who were looking forward to it arriving on the 31st of Dec 2010 only to see their date changed to 31st Dec 2011 ... being hit with a 3 month delay 2 weeks before its due is one thing, but 1 year delay with just two weeks to go would be hard to take!

Keep checking weekly. We are seeing many of the areas which were moved from Dec 2010 to March 2011 actually going live already. Personally I think the bad winter weather just put them behind a few weeks, rather than months.

I check most days (sad or what), todays check still shows 31 March. I'm hoping that it'll be moved forwards a bit, the FTTC cab is there but I don't know how much has been done to it yet.

I wonder if it's "Many a true word spoken in jest"? Not what I actually suggested, but something of that ilk? The summer will tell, as you say. Or more realistically, next winter will.

Now if British Rail suggested that trains had to run slower because the distance between the rails changed ....

(I first thought "decreased", so causing a braking effect, changed my mind and wrote "increased", so slower on safety grounds, then decided on "changed" because so many variables crowded in on me).

Occam's Razor... somebody's heating system

Partly I say that because I had a similar situation with ADSL2+ during the previous winter, ie no fibre.

I could get at line stats then of course, and the diurnal pattern fitted a domestic heating system very well, but the short-term profile didn't fit mine.

There's lots of variety on individual exchanges too.

My can is live (and I have infinity) - went live late December. However a friend a few roads away (with cab in place) isn't live yet and being told Mar 2010, and another friend up the road has the same issue

Meanwhile many areas have no assigned date, and no cab work done -- mostly areas closer than we are to the exchange (we're 4.7km)
