I think that will be some some of splitting setup, but won't have, nor perhaps have the room for, the extra patch panels to connect to and from a fibre cabinet. Either the whole arrangement will have to be replaced by cabinets, with associated fibre cabinets, or ditched altogether and replaced by FTTP.

All of which takes a lot more money than the standard FTTC rollout, which is why at the moment it's ( frown

) tough luck.

Just to confuse matters. FTTC does NOT require a green cabinet.

BT have done many areas in Milton Keynes and there are no cabinets. Some areas have manholes with all the patching in them.

So that means when FTTC is installed there is only one green cab. To be clear!

FTTC requires an FTTC cab, FTTP does not. Are you sure the areas in MK without cabs have FTTC rather than FTTP?

Isn't MK one of the FTTP trial areas?

It depends which part of MK. Milton Keynes exchange itself, (SMBT), seems to be a mix of EO, not scheduled, and FTTC. We need to know which areas of MK the poster is referring to.

And is Milton Keynes not a "special case" due to the use of TPON in pany places and a subsequent copper overlay?

Logically any premises that have / had TPON "ought" to be simple to install FTTP as the required ducting should be there to the premises?
