At least the 80meg product should be ready to go when you place ur order!

They don't open the exchange for orders until 10 cabs are ready according to the openreach website.

You say that but SWMES is accepting orders and only numbers connected to SWMESP10 seem to be OK, every other number states "July 2012".

Just been on the talktalk website and they said that fibre will be available from July 2012 with an available speed of 46meg down and 8meg up.

Now i'm really confused haha

Yeah the ISP line checkers for me have never shown a provisioning date, and they still don't. Not sure why they do for some people and not others.

The isp's surely can only base their checkers on Openreach information and there is room for error on the isp's part.

The 'superfast when and where' website seems to be the most up to date information. Along with the
BT Wholesale line checker

Thoughts? Oh and what is poly duct?

"Polyduct is a single wall alternative to twin wall cable protection manufactured in MDPE or HDPE and is a class 3 product which is available in both straight lengths and coils. It can be used for either open trench or trenchless applications." to quote the Polypie blurb

It's BB5 5XP.

I know the spreadsheet says its cabinet 53, but when the openreach engineer came round to diagnose/repair a previous fault, he said it took him a while to test it as it was on cabinet 52 and his records said it was on cab 53.

I was slightly hungover at the time so I may have misheard him.

That does complicate the issue .

Putting the cab on the street is the easy bit, it only takes them a day if that.

The power supply, cabling etc take the time. Don't forget they have to unblock the ducts right back to the exchange.

I would say you have zero chance of July but at the end of the day it's just a waiting game.

It's in Openreach's interest to do it as quick as poss but there is a lot more to it than you may think

Round my way the biggest delay seems to be getting the power in, currently it can take up to 4 months which is probably why the date skipped back another 3 months.

Update: The exchange nearest me for FTTC rollout (Clitheroe) started accepting orders on Monday the 1st. A whole 3 days after the forecasted RFS date. Would assume this means we're next and our local openreach engineers are meeting their deadlines
