Of course i dont know which cab i am on. I only have one line into the house at the moment, but i did have a second line for a time, how likely is it that i might have one line on one cab, and another redundant line on another cab?
Almost certainly no chance whatsoever. A second "line" usually comes to the house housed within the same cable as the first (as a second pair), and therefore goes back to the same distribution point. From there it is highly likely to go back to the same cabinet. Not *totally* certain, but high.
And no, you don't get to ask BT to install a new line back to a certain cab either.
What if your house has one street at the front fed by one cab (no FTTC) and another street at the back fed by a second cab that happens to be FTTC enabled? Could you get a second line fed from the FTTC enabled street?
I ask because the shed at the bottom of my garden is 5m from a BT Joint Box in a 100% FTTC enabled street at the back (no FTTC on my existing line in the house fed from the street at the front) - could I get BT to install a second line in the shed for FTTC (and then run ethernet cable from the shed to the house - 40m)?
