I don't even know what splitter nodes are but as long as it doesn't slow it down I suppose I don't need to.

It looks to me like we are all getting the work done at around the same time around here but for some reason the schedule showed Littlehampton as being after Rustington last time I checked.

I didn't know what they were either but have read up on it since seeing the engineers working on them, and speaking to one of them about what he was doing. The OR engineer I spoke to just said it would be "a couple of months" to be available in Rustington.

I noticed that Littlehampton was due to go live in the June Quarter before, and now December. From what I've read in forums though it could easily be moved forward again.

Well I've seen plenty of activity around Littlehampton / Rustington in the last few days yet STILL no sign of life on my cab - typical!

There certainly is a lot of activity locally. Every road I walk into I seem to see another OR van. Hopefully they'll get to your cab soon!

I tell a lie, about 3 weeks ago I saw them pulling what looked like a fibre tube into the pit, but nothing more.

Mine is Cab 34 out of 34 so maybe they are doing them in chronological order???

It can't come soon enough - I moved here from Bristol with a solid 50Mb cable connection, to a flaky 2.5-3Mb connection and I now work from home and it's painful.

I'm on 34 too by coincidence, but on the Rustington exchange.

Unlikely to be splitter nodes but fibre joint node, which may look similar to the casual observer

I did wonder if they maybe something very similar. They do look identical to me but obviously I wasn't able to study them closely when the OR engineers were working on them.

Thanks for that Ribble.

BT Engineer in Berry Lane told me the other week that he was finishing up and cab just needed power. Non-BT Contractors are there at the moment presumably adding the power.

I walked along Berry Lane today and the pavement is up now. I can see what I THINK is an electrical connection waiting for the cabinet to be connected to it (no work being done today, being a Sunday), plus the black fibre cable going into the cab.

Just passed a "J&J Drake, working on behalf of Morrison utilities" van next to the new cab on Arundel Street (opposite the trophy shop) and a guy inside the cab.

Would that be Arundel Road you meant by any chance?
