Your cabinet is planned to have WBC FTTC by 31st March 2012


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry,they always do that when the 3 month cycle comes along,I also saw an OR bloke there yesterday playing about with cables,looks to be soon now,you will have to do what I do now and check the checker every day,I reckon this week sometime. X fingers.

NOT this year then.Will have to do some quick New Year wishes,cab still humming but the availability checkers are still on March 2012,which is exactly 12 months since the exchange went live.
Wonder if this is a record.???

I'm on exchange LNILC activated March 2011 as well, still waiting for cab #66 on my exchange to be activated for FTTH installs with no planned date from OR. At least your cab is listed as having a target date... maybe it's something to do with the cab number...

Good luck getting the service some time in 2012!

Spoke to BT Care yesterday regarding our Cab 66,young lady called back tonight having spoken to someone in the know?? She believes it will be on by the end of the month.
WE SHALL SEE.

Interesting. My ISP sent me an e-mail recently saying that in the next 5 weeks or so they will be automatically switching me over to 21CN, so maybe that has something to do with the cabinet being fully activated.

I�ve also noticed some roadworks over at your end that seem to be connected to the BT manhole covers on victoria avenue, as spray painted markers run off from the manhole covers across to the roadworks. They also head off down victoria avenue, but I couldn�t be bothered to follow them to se where they lead
Maybe this has something to do with the cabinet and possibly the electical issues?

Have a look above for details on 21 CenB/B It's got nothing to do with FTTC though.

The roadworks by our house are British Gas puttin in new pipes.

The latest message from the BT DSL checker, when I enter my number, reads:

Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 32.4Mbps and upstream line speed of 12.6Mbps.

Does that mean it�s actually up and running? Do you want to give it a try?

Try popping your number into the BT Retail Checkerand it will tell if you can go ahead and place an order. Other ISP checkers should give the same results.

It does look quite hopeful, all checks come up positive.

Something is definitely happening with my line. My speed has dropped below 0.5Mb, which usually means they have been working on it. Hopefully speeds like that will soon be a thing of the past.
