Just as a matter of interest, what d'ya think you will be paying per month for fibre optic broadband service? We've got another year @ our exchange, before getting a sniff

Like others my availability date has been pushed back to Dec 31st.

Docs off here suggest taking orders now.

James a bit of an imposition I've PM'd my postcode to you. If you could do cab check that would be great, if not no problem.

Same here, so I conclude that my cabinet isn't ready but the exchange is so can't be much longer - I think my cabinet is just lacking power.

I assume something has gone wrong with my FTTC cabinet All the other cabinets, both closer and further away from the exchange than mine, have been enabled. My cabinet is one of two in the entire area that hasn't been taking orders this month. Even a cabinet a few hundred meters away is live, and that was only installed last month!

There is no method to this madness. Things get connected up, hurriedly installed, plonked down, and then abandoned for months on end. Meanwhile, other cabinets get installed and go live almost instantly..

It's saddening Our cabinet was one of the first to go in. It had power installed 3 months ago. It had fibre installed around the same time. Now it just sits there, crying out for a little bit of attention. BT sucks. I'm tempted to re-order line bonding, because 18 months of delays and broken promises is more than taking the pee.

PM me your line number and postcode and I'll dig some info

I went with ADSL 24's Fibre 45 Office Pro http://adsl24.co.uk/broadband/business/ - will be mostly in the house during the evening so works well for me (and the odd time I will be at home all day), so that package suits me fine .
