In reply to a post by Justo:

Sorry, but virtually no SG18 8xx postcodes are due to be deployed currently - so I'd say the postcode checker is using SG18 xxx instead and that's the discrepancy.

Are you sure? According to the December data, 71% of SG18 8xx postcode are being upgraded, and of the 29% not scheduled, the majority (74%) are direct-connects.

The remainder, postcodes served by cabinets not scheduled, all seem to be in non-residential areas (industrial estates) with the exception of one in the middle of town...

The list is on page 24 of this thread I think.

Yes, that's the only data I have - it's sadly incomplete.

It does not open fully in older versions of Excel thereby showing partial data

However, even if you do open it correctly, some data is missing.

There are a couple of google docs links around which don't have that limitation

Can anyone tell me what M_D means in the data?

I believe M-A is direct from exchange.

Thanks

Hi in the docs it says SAU_ID

SAU_ID Name Postcode SAU_NODE_ID Exchange Only Percent Lines Uplift Phase Deployed FTTC or FTTP
SLDR DARTON S75 6HG {SLDR}{p4} 0 100 4.33 6b Yes FTTC

i understand this means 100% of lines will get FTTC in my post code but what dose (uplift 4.33) mean
just to say the cabs have all been there and powered on since about September last year FTTC was ment to be enabled in September then December now it says march lol on sam knows it dose say exchange taking orders in some cabs and there has been mass OR engineers out to the cabs this past 2 week so posible it will be enabled between now n march

anyway i moved a bit off there just curious about the uplift bit lol

I live in Exmouth, Devon, postcode is EX8 5PJ, connected cab number 41 (200m ish from my house), according to the document, large areas of the estate are getting their cabs upgraded, but not mine, which seems really odd..?
I even mapped out the postcodes that have been approved for FTTC -

can someone shed any light as to why this seems to be such a postcode lottery, or whether the list is simply incomplete or contains vast numbers of inaccuracies?
Many thanks in advance for your kind help!

That why the combined sheet (of the two CSV) parts, has the spaces taken out. even excel 2007/2010 can't handle the 1.31 million rows of information in the original CSV (hence why it was in two parts probably). The google docs i posted, has the spaces taken out. (which means if you don't find your postcode, no FTTP/FTTC for you....),.. but the fusion document takes seconds to view any particular postcode.

@acpsd775

I believe it was explained a few pages back.. its the speed increase the postcode area will get, from a specific baseline. So, BT perhaps, may be installing the higher numbers first because of percieved gain in overall broadband speeds.

@electro

Thats exactly it. its a poscode lottery.
What WE (the public), don't have, is the information on how they have determined what cabinets get what.

I contacted a guy from BT once to get the answer, his reply, makes me think that its actually based on:-
The affluence of the area.
The likelihood of the people taking out a BT fibre contract.
Cost to upgrade the exchange.
Cost to upgrade each cabinet.

all of these variables are more have been taken into account as they have rolled it out. Now, as i suggested in an earlier it post, it MIGHT , and i'm only suggesting this, Might, be based around what phone numbers have registered for interest in BT infinity from the infinity website.
Which is why i suggested, if your cabinet isn't connect, i would trace all the wires back, from the local poles, and also, find out what houses are in your poscode, and which postcodes that cabinet serves.
then, i would knock on all the houses and ask people if they wouldn't mind putting their number in , to express an interest in infinity.

ofc, who knows if that would work, or, if they log a phone number per IP address etc. (to stop just that action)...
but business wise, it makes business sense, to upgrade a cabinet where Every single person on that cabinet has registered an interest in infinity.

After all, the exchange is upgraded, they just have to add the new DSLAM cabinet.

who knows.

What we do know, is that eventually, all the cabinets will be done, and (someone correct me here if im wrong), i thought they have said they are going for 95% of the population will get infinity by the end of 2015 ??

Thanks Moradin ,

Just seems rather odd to plan to enable most of the Brixington estate, and just leave my cabinet and 3 streets out, plus it's my typical luck that it'd play out like that too...! Unless cabinet 41 is linked to another cabinet nearby and they'd simply serve my connection from the enabled cab, and pass it through my cabinet 41. Who knows eh! If I see a BT engineer lurking around sometime, I'll quiz him...
Cheers!
