There looks to be another cabinet at the end of the development on the mud track. Although I'm unsure if this is actually a BT cabinet. From looking round it seems the roll out has stopped at the railway bridge.

(i'm sovietuk)
The box at the other end of the estate looks like a bt box and has 'live' sprayed on it, tho it sounds like all the houses unfortunately hang off the box at the entrance of the estate :-/
The speeds seem to agree with that - Smitiai lives at the front of the estate and I believe gets around 2meg, I live at the opposite end and get a depressing 1meg

(for reference, BBC player just about works on 1 meg (bit jittery for 1st 30 secs then generally ok; for work, remote-desktop to my office is usable if a little sluggish (tho I kinda think that's more down to a lack of bandwidth at the office)

I live around half way down and get 2.5 on a good day and 2 on a bad one. Although I am using an adsl nation filter plate to achieve that.

Feel slightly cheesed off that the roll out has completely missed us out.

I have just moved onto the estate and have ordered by broadband with sky. I am told i will only get 0.5 meg at best. I live about 10 houses in from the entrance and cabinet 15. I have read all this thread and like you are just hoping we havent missed the boat.

I really need a fast connection for work and play. What providers are you all with on this estate ??

Does anyone know any further information that may assist me

Thank you in advance

Its a bit of a strange one this,
i lived in Robin Hood, near the halfway house, and got 13.5mbit via adsl2 with o2...
moved up the road closer to the rothwell exchange, and got 3mbit


Lofthouse was due to get fibre before me, so was gutted, but luckily im close the cab and get the full 40/10!
Surprised there are so many lofthouse/east ardsley users on here!

yeah me too. i think theres at least 3 or 4 of us on the bloor and shepherds site called the pastures. It wouldnt suprise me if some of us are next door neighbours

I'm of the opinion that we are more likely to see pigs fly that get any Infinity product on the estate.

It certainly looks like the roll out has ceased in the Lofthouse Gate catchment area. Once you are over the railway bridge I havent seen a single new style Cab in the surrounding area.

As always BT are "unable to help with any roll out queries"

Also notice this recent update on the BT site when i check for availability "BT Infinity is not currently due to be rolled out in your area within the next 6 months."

I guess that answers everyones questions. Although the word "area" is a bit of a kick in the teeth when its available up the road

Morning all..

After a long campaign.. it looks like fibre will now be installed on our new developement. hurray!!

Carrllion Telent are planned to install the 'field delivery pack'

Can some advise what is a 'field delivery pack'?? should we be able to see it installed or is it some underground device??

Congratulations.

I live in a newly built building with no FTTC, my exchange went "live" two months early. The building across the street from me (also newly built a couple of years ago) already has 40/10 FTTC but I don't even know what cabinet I am connected to. Guess you're one of the lucky ones?

I presume its a type job pack, basically instructions for the work required
