well my area had the 3 month push back but this week openreach have been working on my street.

The cabinet for my phone is about 100-150m away, but they put a new FTTC cabinet across the road from me maybe 5-10m or so distance.

given the new date is now dec 2012, is it likely I can order early?

The only date you will know is the date when you can place and order . Any other date is indicative and can be pushed back or brought forward.

Is the FTTC cab definately twinned with the existing cab your on? They seem quite a distance apart!

Our FTTC cab was installed in April i think and we're still waiting with the checker showing September rather than the original June.

I would say you're now on track for December.

I asked the workmen and they said its to lower the copper length as the estate opposite me has horrific copper lengths, there is also a new cabinet next to the phone cabinet as well.

its possible it may be twinned with the new phone cabinet that was put in a side street near me that was fed with ali cables (posted few years back on this) as now I think about it I have not noticed a new cabinet near that one.

BT are still falling a very long way behind schedule If you have a Dec date Q2 2013 is more realistic so far out of the 190 Sep exchanges only about 15 have been enabled

Rollout countiues till 2014 and any dates are estimates till then, if any work continues past 2014 then its late.
