Just thought I'd give a bit of hope to everyone still waiting, Reading Central originally had an availability Date of December 2010, which got moved out to March 2011, only to be moved to September 2011 (skipping June for some weird reason) two weeks ago. The Infinity Map proudly proclaimed it was available for a while, and then moved the date to June - funnily enough the step that the official checker had skipped.

My cab was plonked down last October, and various busy bees have been all over various cabinets and mine since then, until it went very quiet in January. I couldn't quite believe the latest September date, but it even appeared in the official Openreach list as an update.

Lo and behold, today saw the September date roll forward to a March 16th enablement date on the official checker. Samknows had confidently proclaimed March 1st for a while, and is currently showing March 11th, so overall was far more accurate than anything BT had.

The moral is that it is pretty much pot luck - the time between installation of the cab and availability was around 6 month in my case (which is pretty long), and the BT dates were all over the shop until a week before implementation. If anyone had a December/March date, has a cab outside and has since been pushed out to September, I'd hazard a guess that they won't have to wait that long...
