Re: FTTC - Gresford - What happens next ?


[re: jchamier] [link to this post] 		 
Cabs now starting to be installed - two other questions

1 How long is the 'average' time from cab installation to going live?. I appreciate this may vary a lot.

2 Will I see any speed increase at all if I just stay with my current ISP ?

Thanks

If you mean will FTTC at your cabinet mean your existing broadband will speed up, the answer is No. Existing broadband continues as though the fibre wasn't there. Have a read of how fibre connects in.

You will need to upgrade to one of your ISP's fibre products, or migrate to one elsewhere.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk
Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost. Connection - Plusnet Extra Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 56.0/13.9Mbps @ 600m.

Started see new cabinets by existing cabs but have also seen a new cabinet on a street without it being near an existing cab. It is adjacent to a BT manhole but definitely no old cabinet anywhere near. Is that usual?

Gresford Exchange now FTTC enabled

OR checker still showing 'Coming Soon' but BT Availability Checker shows available (and BT/TT/Plusnet all accepting orders)
