There's a huge number there that weren't in the April one, so bound to be some more in a while. Is your cab on the list, even though not scheduled?

Hi Bob,

According to the Dec one kindly provided by Brian, my exchange Ashby De La Zouch is in phase 7b it lists a lot of other cabs but mine which is PCP6 has nothing next to it which on the CSV says that it is unscheduled.

Thanks

Jason

Mine says 100%, 5, 9b, yes, FTTC

I take it it's coming this year but would love to know what phase 9b means.

My mate's cab is blank under "deployed". Not good.

James kindly found my cabinet number and it is down to get FTTC in March. The cabinet location on Elgin has shown work to commence this week up till yesterday evening. But along with 2 others in the area the works information has now gone.

Does anyone know if this means BT have probably changed the plans for my area and the cabinet will now not get upgraded?

In regards to the second document
the postcode TR96AT
is where my cabinet is and it is saying it is in progress, but there is no activity near the cabinet and i am predicted to get it in december this year?
My cabfalse
Exchange WWSCOL
would someone kindly check it out for me please?
oh and in regards to these codes -Exchange Only Flag Percent Lines Uplift Phase
what do they mean?
Cheers

"Pase 9b" means it was announced as part of the phase 9b plans.

Back at the beginning, the phase that an exchange was *announced* in also gave you an idea of when it would actually be *deployed*.

Nowadays, some exchange are announced and then deployed within 3 months, while some might be 12 or 15 months away. So the phase numbering gradually seems to mean less.

It could be that bad. More likely that they've found other work for the contractors/engineers to do, and so cancelled your cabinet's works. The weather might have changed a few schedules.

The thing with roadworks is that firms get fined if they run late, but not if they re-schedule. That incentivises a company to either not start, or fill in incomplete works, and then re-plan for a month (or more) later.

Given that the works involved in installing and commissioning a cabinet are very variable, I'd probably over-plan works - just in case things fly through quickly. Then, if things get delayed somewhere, some cabinets can be temporarily cancelled.

Thanks. Our exchange was done in 2010 so hopefully the cab won't be long.

That would make sense, I'm sure the 3 were the 1st to to show on the Elgin site, and quite a few others appeared later. So could be they have to submit them again, well I'm hopping that is the case
