Only bad because we still don't appear to have moved into the 'coming soon' status, despite some recent fibre work in the nearby grid roads.

I think there is still basically 3 options. Available, Coming Soon, Don't hold your breath. We are possibly better off than those exchanges not yet planned to be enabled, but no clue if and when BT/OR will install FTTP or FTTC.

Bruce,

I agree it is frustrating not knowing when / if we will get fibre. Even being told that it is 3 months away would be preferable.

Interestingly, I put in a couple of postcodes of where I used to live in Tattenhoe and one of the flats in Monston park and both are showing exactly the same new message.

Almost at the end of August, have seen the usual numbers of OpenReach vans on Broughton Gate, but no further work on Newport Road.

Be interesting to see those whose Infinity date is 30th Sept gets pushed back a third time...

I have not previously posted here.

I follow various sources of information, including the various availablity checkers and resources such as the MK BAG website.

I note with interest, that there is a very recent document (minutes of a meeting) on the MK BAG website, which states that BT are "disappointed" by takup of FTTC or takeup of the FTTP trial.

Whenever I go to the various websites to check (I gave up phoning the BT and other ISPs some time ago, for advise as to when a fibre-based product would be available) - I am advised that fibre (in any form) is unavailable, with no future date to expect.

I have signed up the 'let me know when it is' forms, and have not been contacted.

Hang on ! How can BT/the council be surpirsed at low takeup, if consumers like me are being told that it is unavailable in anyform?

I live in Campbell Park - aside from being next to CMK (with presumably it's abundance of fibre ... for business users) , pretty close to the Bradwell Abbey exchange in Fishermead.

Broadband provision here is crackers.

MK council are conducting a survey (and grumbling about lack of response) ... lets see if it can make a difference and fill it out for them.

The FTTP trial is now moving forward with Voice Access as well.

What trial?

The FTTP trial.

BT are running a small Fibre Voice Access trial with a few of those on the 100Mb service. This will be lasting until April 2012. The Broadband trial for BT is due to end this October but now firm details of what will be happening, but then I might not be in that loop anymore.

It seems a number of other CPs are almost at product launch. The FVA trial seems the most promising step, this could fully replace the copper service altogether and add a TV feed. Could this really happen?

just got invite to trial in broughton gate but then called and was told not active yet but they have taken my details

Excellent. Where in Broughton gate are you?
