BT called about 1330 to tell me they would disconnect the line; turned up; fiddled with the master socket, installed the OpenReach modem; connected it to the Home Hub; tested it from a browser; and left by 1415.
All very painless.
And after 2,978 days of dreadful ~2M ADSL, I am getting ~70M down and 15M up (as measured by speedtester.net).
Good stuff - least we know the cabinet's up and running properly
1 week to go for me, couldn't come soon enough. My Sky ADSL decided to start connecting/disconnecting every few minutes on Saturday evening, the 2nd line (non-Sky) has remained stable though which is good since it's that one that's getting transferred across to Infinity next week.
Can anyone on this thread tell me: how long between cabinet install and being able to order? I dont think the Kincorth cabinets have been installed for that long so it would seem to be a relatively short time between install and order.
I'm hoping its the same for me. I'm on the Lochnagar exchange and the cabinet install appeared to be completed around a week ago. Not sure if its got power or not yet because theres always too much road traffic noise to hear properly. I assume they are not particularly loud and it needs to be fairly quiet to hear the fans?
It can be anything from 1-3 weeks once all work is finished on the cabinet before it will accept orders or it work is still to be done ie power/fibre they delay can be longer 3-6months.
The best way to know is to put your BT number into the wholesale asdl checker it will tell you when you can order a FTTC service, do this once a week etc.
