Dont expect a reply from the nga.enquiries lot. They never bothered to respond to my queries. In the end, my local MP emailed them on my behalf and was able to extract a response.

On another note, BT has recently updated the availability for Cabinet PCP17 in Bannockburn. Initially it said 'June' then 'September' Then 'December' and now ruddy June 2013.

I have a zero percent expectation that the useless barstuards will actually get around to delivering it by this date. I'll be more likely to get faster speeds via ruddy 4G LTE than I ever will via any of BT's cr@ppy fibre!

The date for Plean & Cowie have also slipped until June 2013. Date for Fallin has slipped until December 2012, but if you believe that you'll believe anything! Plean and Cowie actually have cabinets full of VDSL2 kit and the fibre backhaul to the exchange all installed. [censored] is stopping them being connected, god only knows. I guess it just useless barstuards at BT.

By the time BT finally connect us up, i'll either be dead, or fibre will have been superceeded by some other technology, or perhaps hell will have frozen over?

"Your cabinet is planned to have WBC FTTC by 30th June 2013. Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed between 18.1 to 72.3 Mbps and upstream line speed between 4.2 to 20 Mbps."

Jesus, the level of utter incompetence is just incomprehensible!!

On the whole, the reports suggest that they had finally become good at responding to that email address.

However, there are increasing reports of slowness & inaccuracies, so I'm wondering if they're now being a little too successful.

I live in Fallin and am having fibre optic (sky) installed tomorrow.

Well I did get an automated response saying they were really busy but would reply!
Regarding what you posted about you having WBC FTTC by June 2013 - at least you have that info. Mine doesnt even predict that I have a date, so I'm guessing this means my cabinet will be activated even later than June next year?

Lol

I do find it rather amusing that those living way out in Fallin can get fibre broadband, but my house, which is less than a mile from the telephone exchange (but with 5 miles of cable) cannot!!!

Hell, If I stood on the roof of my house I could see the back of the exchange!

Nigel

My house is the length of a football pitch from the exchange!

To me it makes sense to connect those furthest from the exchange (and therefore those who have had to suffer the slowest speeds) to the fibre network first. Install took 20 mins. Speeds as advertised. Very impressed so far.

Joy......

agree, obv have a much higher take-up, those super close to there exchange, will get 12-18mb anyway


Still tho, BTOR dates slip again and again and again.
