The Address checker which just needs house number & postcode shows FTTC availability:

For Address XXXX PEPPER MILL, LAWLEY VILLAGE, TELFORD, TF4 2FB on Exchange DAWLEY

Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial check on your address indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line speed up to 2Mbps.

Our check also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL Max broadband line speed of 5.5Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 4.5Mbps and 8Mbps.

Our check also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 8Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 5.5Mbps and 12.5Mbps. Our test also indicates that your line could support an estimated ADSL 2+ Annex-M broadband upstream line speed of 1Mbps and downstream line speed of 8Mbps; typically the downstream speed would range between 5.5Mbps and 12.5Mbps.

Your cabinet is planned to have WBC FTTC by 31st March 2012. 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 40 Mbps and upstream line speed of 10 Mbps.

Also the checker from the BT Infinity site gives the same outcome...You start with a Postcode Search and then pick your address from the list...so not really a Postcode checker per se

However, its extremely flaky, even on address ....why?


because if i put my address in , i don't get the above message. (but i should , as a new green cabinet is right outside my window, and we are due in march as well)

It's working now, albeit not entirely accurate but that's probably Openreach.

That'd be pretty impressive given absolutely no work has been done and no street works are scheduled. Guess that'll push it to June and make the delay a nice round 18 months

The checkers certainly are flaky, my phones with plus net so I have to use postcode and house number, none of the checkers give any info, cabinets been in for over a month and the exchange should be live this month. Sam knows said 1-3-12, super fast where and when states 31-03-12.

Plenty of cabinets installed in our area as well.

The phone checker should work with a Plusnet line. Have you tried it?

That isn't to say the results will be any different from using the address. They won't be.

It certainly works for my Plusnet line.

& mine too.

Thanks for all your replys.
It turned out that the link to teh PCP spreadsheet in Moradin's post had information suitable for my needs.
I have a question on phase completion dates though...

That's strange, working for mine now, previously told me no information available for that number.

Think I sussed it, I automatically type a space between area code and number, needless to say the checker can't handle it, seems to remove the space and the last digit!

Edit: Still nothing about FTTC when I check though.
