Er no, a metre is a metre and 100 m = 110 yds and 120 m = 132 yds.

D'oh!

Best just to stick to metres. We've been using them long enough!

You've now flipped me into pedantic mode! Do you know b*cat's age? If we were at school together, you certainly could not make the latter assertion. Bah! A metre is foreign, alien, something abnormal to me. (Mutters into facial fur.)

A grumpy b*cat pads off to find his bed . . .

Well I'm 56 and have been using metric for 40+ years

But back on topic: I've finally got OpenOffice to open BTW-FTTC-Exchange-and-Cabs-10062011 and there is no mention of Cheltenham there! What's going on?

Edit: looking closer, I think I'm right in saying this will only show Cheltenham very close to deployment time?

I'd like to know where my cab is so I can take a look to see if a new cab appears.

Possibly this one.

Either I'm going blind (or mental!) I was sure there was a cab up there, but couldn't see it when I drove past this morning. But it certainly seems to have the 122 printed on the side of it, as per the spreadsheet. I'll walk round there tomorrow. While I'm there I'll look at the cabs opposite. There are 2 large ones I assume as VM, but a small one further along in Barlow Road which could be BT's from the pics I've seen elsewhere.

The first person here needing my Street cabinet page!

(Anyone with pictures of different kinds from those already there please can you post links in the thread I have running for that, (to save going off-topic here), so I can add them to the page? I have a couple to add already but not had time to do it).

Yes, going Metric....

Inch by Inch !

The cabinet that Ribble has mentioned is definitely a POTS PCP.

During you walk-about, tomorrow, please photograph every cabinet in the immediate vicinity to 122 and then let us see what is there.

Well I've been round and taken photos, but I can't see how to attach them here. Any help would be appreciated.

Ribble was spot on with his Google maps link. However, there are no signs of any new BT cabs in the immediate vicinity, and it's hard to see that they could put one adjacent to 122.

You can't attach photos here. You have to upload them to somewhere like Imageshack and post the link.

Have you checked against my page?

Thanks Bob, I'd just e-mailed them to you anyway, so feel free to post them here!

Dosnt have to be next to the existing cabinet, but close to existing Openreach duct/joint box and near to an electricity supply. I would guess the other side of Dunelm Close near the bin as there appeers to be both an Openreach footway box and a street light, but they might site it further away.

Well I'm 56

Hello, junior.

I've finally got OpenOffice to open BTW-FTTC-Exchange-and-Cabs-10062011 and there is no mention of Cheltenham there! What's going on?

Your guess is as good as mine! Perhaps the residents of Cheltenham have been classified as "naughty" and are being made to wait?

Seriously, as that document is just a snap-shot in time, all that can be said is that Cheltenham is not included in the phases referenced therein.

Must remember to keep an eye out for any developments. So far I've been unable to find a site that lists forthcoming works that would drop a hint.

Probably covered elsewhere, but what criteria do they use to provide FTTP? And is it still provided by a drop from a pole?
