Theirs nothing on Elgin but prehaps its for TT that they are laying the cable, only planned work is in April at the double roundabouts in shaw.

Ah ok -- what is Elgin?

Basicaly a site that shows all roadworks in a county that has signed up for it, can see what roadworks are coming up etc.

Yes - I will try. I think it is an error and probably is referring to Newbury which serves some of the houses in my postcode.

Good website - thanks for that.

BT Openreach sent me a generic response and so far haven't replied to my request.
I am tempted to try to order a new FTTC line and see what happens since I am on the border of the NEWBURY and HERMITAGE exchanges...

white duck -- put your nnumber in www.samknows.com that will confirm what exchnage you are on -- once you have that answer that may aid you in your netx decision

Thanks for that - I am on HERMITAGE - that is the problem - if I was on NEWBURY (phone box near by is) then I would be able to request FTTC (I think).

The order wont go through as all it will say is you are currently unable to recieve a FTTC service.

BT Openreach roadworks taking place today in Long Lane - near Fisher's Lane.

Their was work scheduled for last week, went by earlier and their was nothing though since the ducts have been cleared any cable laying would only be held by moving the traffic lights further down the road.

Ian their is power work going on at cabinet 14's fibre twin on the double roundabouts in shaw, this cab should be going live soonish.

Also noticed that theirs power work on cabinet 70 junction of love lane and oxford road.

3 cabinets are being installed in the town centre, one by the postoffice, one by liquid and 26 which is on the junction of St Bartholomew and St Michael road.

Oddly the 3 cabinets above where phase 5a, seems to be a mixture of cabinets appearing after the phase has completed in short groups.
