Can you post a link to the source please?

I think asking for that is the best way of not getting a reply from him,

That would indicate these lists are false.

Rubbish. UK companies at least for non financial planning purposes use the Calander year quarters

This is from the Openreach "FTTC/FTTP Trialist Working Group. 29th September 2010 ¡V Livemeeting (10.00 to 13:00)" presentation (slide 10) :

FTTC Q3 and Q4 Indicative Exchangerelease plan
�XFurther cabinets will be released on the exchanges already declared RFS but partially complete
�XAn additional 163 exchanges are indicatively planned for delivery in Q3 (by 31stDec 2010) ¡V
�X8 x Q2 rollover, 17 x Phase 4a, 13 x Phase 4b, 106 x Phase 5a, 19 x brought forward from Phase 5b
�XA further 89 exchanges have been loaded into MLC for Q4 (RFS 31STMarch 2011)

Note the bolded Q3 and Q4 dates. Looks very much to me like Openreach use the financial Q's as far as non-financial planning goes.

Just google for "FTTC/FTTP Trialist Working Group" and you will find the document.

He doesn't have a link, he has now done the same as I have and taken a copy of the Openreach spreadsheet. Trouble is he is rubbish at comparing the two and cannot even read the info he has posted. See post 4 from me about Motherwell in the OP and his reply that it wasn't in his first list but is still there along with many other errors!! ( just eye ball it and the existing excel file.)

His latest list appears correct according to mine but I haven't compared every exchange.

Mine was a copy on 27th Sep 2012, compared with a copy on 19th Dec 2012. There are 1309 exchanges in total.

I am going to take another copy between Christmas and New Year if there are any additional changes to mark the start of Jan-Mar ( Q4 12/13 year.)

As of 19th Dec the coming soon list has nothing now left in 2012.
158 showing as March 2013 and 75 at June 2013.

IIRC you recently also in effect confirmed his figure of 194 scheduled for the quarter just ending? Which he incorrectly calls Q4, but in any OR documentation will be Q3.

My worries with his 194 for a while have been he always called it Q4, which led me to wonder if he was looking at a doc for OR Q4 and comparing that with the actuals. Seeing as you elsewhere gave that figure for Q3 I reckon we can rest easy that it's just him.

Maybe we don't need to hang or draw him, just quarter him.

thats not a cabinet checker, use the BTw checker or any of the isp checkers.

You may like to take a quarter end dated copy of the 'Accepting orders' and 'coming soon' and host them off your useful site as a historical record of what was planned for Jan -Mar (Q4). I don't have anywhere to post my historical files for other to see/use.

That's an idea. I haven't really got the site up to date regarding a number of factors though. Concentration levels are low.

Bib for the final time we are not in yet in Q4 from aon openreach / BT Group perspectve (works to a financial year perspective not a calender persperctivew as do most corporates

Financial Year 12/13

Q1 in April - June 2012
Q2 is July - September 2012
Q3 is October - December 2012
Q4 is January - March 2013

It's all that Rain getting you down, a few sunny days would improve everything!!

Well, rain is water, and water does dilute concentrations, so that follows .
