still waiting for my cab to be install cab 73 dose any one know what's its going to happen

The uplift number seems to be pretty meaningless really, in theory it's supposed to be 23.47 time your current speed, but it just doesn't work out that way.

Try this checker if your not LLU or the address checkerif you are LLU (Sky, TalkTalk etc), it just needs house number and postcode.

If that doesn't give you a speed estimate for fibre then the only other way is to find your cabinet, work out roughly how far it is away, by the route your phone line is most likely to take, then someone could give you a rough idea.

just did that and it says I get 1mb down and I mb up cant be right

my cab is 73 stil waiting to be installed

I've seem some strange speed estimates before cabinets go live, so I wouldn't worry about it.

where can I find infor on when they going to do my cab

Your area seems to be covered by www.roadworks.org, locate your area, turn on planned works under map layers and look for any telephone symbols, this will tell you if and what works BT has applied permits for, you can also set up email notifications.

you can also email open reach your phone number and address asking what the hold up is nga.enquiries at openreach.co.uk

just FYI, l ordered Sky FTTC on the 26th, still awaiting a confirmed activation date (as lm assuming going from most ppls experiences that BTO confirms the dates separately)

as for some ppls orders failing, l had a similar issue, l ordered originally on the 23rd, however when l called up (because l wasnt asked for a MAC code) l found out it had failed but didnt know why... turns out after spending most of sunday night (couldnt sleep) l found out why.

as most may know your forced to take line rental to sky when you transfer onto fibre, this means if they havent LLU'd the exchange you cant take out the talk package.. but hereford have been unbundled which leads me to the sky talk T&Cs which specifically state

In reference to www.sky.com/shop/terms-conditions/talk/:

(b) customers registered with BT Basic; or

(c) customers with outgoing call barring or any other incompatible product on their telephone line.

so my suggestion to those who have failed orders with sky revisit BT and get them to remove extra services off their lines before they try and migrate to sky FTTC as thats what happened to me as it seems weird but from what lve found and read while researching is that Sky didnt know why the order failed because BT dont tell them there are incompatible products on the line which means they are met with a generic failed message.

heres to hoping l'll be activated soon (am in Newton Farm area)

I wish bt upgraded my cab 73 its should be ready bye 31 of Dec cant see this is going to happen has there's no work be done to it yet have emailed be to see whats going on

according to the checkers my box should be p49 tho l dont know if they align with the google map of cabs created by Lorian, still l would have thought l would have connected to the Kilpeck Ave cabinet rather than the suggested one on brampton road.(leading on to waterfeild road)

still as far as l know my date for install is stil 10/12/12, just a matter of waiting and checking on my order and making sure everything comes on time.
