Mine has changed again - this despite the Programme Office Director responsible for the rollouts confirming to me on 27th May that my cabinet was still on course for an end June RFS date. I kind of knew this was not going to happen though as the cabinet has not even been installed yet, with no work being done locally to install it for many months.

What does the PDF say? The PDF was updated today. The wholesale checker changed from 1st July to 30th Sept but the PDF still reports June-11. I'm optimistic. smile

Unfortunately for me, some of the area served by my exchange was enabled a couple of months ago so it doesn't appear in the PDF.

Also I won't give his email address out but would say I got it from an email I sent to Ian Livingston about FTTC delays.

Same here Zadeks

My exchange had a date of 30th June on the Infinity checker until today where it now says 30th Sept but on the Openreach site it still says June '11

Fingers crossed!

The really annoying thing is that I'm in Cornwall. Where my exchange was one of the first lot to be enabled. According to all the hype my cabinet should of been enabled by now.
There are other cabinets on my exchange up and running,

In reply to a post by billford:
That would be a reasonable explanation for an occasional slippage but to me, the frequency with which it seems to be happening implies exceptionally poor planning.

Or an idiot marketing department which keeps releasing stupid dates.
Or a complete lack of understanding (by senior staff) of how long these things take to install.
Or power companies which couldn't care less about connecting up the cabinets.
Or some idiot forgot to order all the fibre.

Whichever is the cause, it's still a very poor show.
I blame their marketing people - our local telephone books arrived a few months ago with a full page glossy ad on the back cover announcing "BT Infinity has come to Banbury - order now"..........Yeah; that worked out well (at present we have a 30th September date and the cabinets have only just started going in).

I have BT Infinity being installed on Monday...obviously still updating the cabinets as although my home numbers show as ready now my g/f is listed as coming 30th September.

I did register interest some months ago but have heard nothing back...if it wasn't for my trying the BT Infinity checker every couple of weeks I wouldn't have even known it was available here and I would be waiting until the end of September...

Not sure if you have checked your own number lately Ade...you might be pleasantly surprised?

I know I was...smile

Kind regards,
