Nothing at all to do with FTTC, but the question asked was what does it say about my phone number. Annex M is the best available service mentioned. No cab information on Openreach checker

It's not sounding good on the FFTC front if no info regarding FTTC is available for your PCP , did you also try entering your address in the bt wholesale checker instead of only phone number? (To cross reference)
How far are you from the exchange,do you know?, just that there is a possibility that you are a( EO )Exchange only line, in which case there is usually no PCP along the route from exchange to your home, so FTTC does not cover these lines, But in the future (crystal ball time again) BT openreach may decide to roll out FTTP will headline speeds of 330mbps down and 30 mbps up, whoops the A** of Annex M don't it

I think the presence of a FTTC cab next to his is a good sign.

Then perhaps you should be able to enlighten the op and everyone else reading this thread, after all you seem to know for certain that the PCP in question is where the op's D'side pair terminates , that's if of course they have a D'side pair But all bt checker info suggest perhaps this info is maybe incorrect The op's line may not be routed via that PCP (Or perhaps someone is basing their assumptions on the leaked (outdated openreach document)
Not only this but a DEAD unpowered FTTC cab could end up being removed, and there have been some that have been removed ,
Just as the initial rollout plans changed in each area, so some cabs that initially where planned to get FTTC never did get installed ,
So until it has power and it's fibre spine in place,the FTTC cab means very little to the end user,Speculate all you want
How is that any better news than the open wound blurb publish 4 times each year?

Ooo, you're so negative.

It's definitely where my d-side pair terminates

lol

well until it has power and it's fibre spine in place,the FTTC cab means very little, As far as being able to order a FTTC product goes, Contact openreach via that e-mail NGA. enquiries is really all you can do to find out any more upto date info, As it'snot info that we the humble end user or even isp's are privy to in most cases , as openreach like to treat it as a top secret mission

The OP has a telephone number recognised by the BT Wholesale checker.

Therefore he has a D-side pair.

The BTwholesale checker would also recognise EO lines too, unless they where MPF (Full llu) and if an EO line it wouldn't have a D'side pair, as they only run from pcp's
But the OP has confirmed that it's not an EO line, And i was aware that the checker recognised the number they entered , But as it did not give any info ( placeholder blurb) for FTTC I suggested that the OP tried entering their address and post code instead, just to cross reference ,As the BT Wholesale checker always provides upto date and accurate info output for telephone number input alone, doesn't it?

But as i said if theres not info for FTTC on the various other checkers such as the infinity checker,(again best to use address instead of number) It's not looking very promissing for the cab to go AO anytime soon , because they usually allways will give a placeholder date,(although they can mean very little sometimes)

You're better off emailing the nga team at openreach - you'll be peeing into the wind otherwise..

For example, the FTTC cab I'm connected to was installed Feb/March last year, but I was only able to order in late November.

There are a myriad of reasons why a given FTTC cab hasn't been made active, usually it comes down to blocked ducts which sometimes need road closures or roadworks to clear, and those can take months to arrange with the council.

A fair point, so long as it is correct, which I don't know. Sounds logical however.

But as it did not give any info ( placeholder blurb) for FTTC I suggested that the OP tried entering their address and post code instead, just to cross reference ,As the BT Wholesale checker always provides upto date and accurate info output for telephone number input alone, doesn't it?

On the other hand, that and your later reference to using the address checker for cross-reference doesn't sound logical at all, being self-contradictory. Plus the address checker specifically says:-

Please note that the address checker is less accurate than the telephone number checker because the result is not based on an individual telephone line at the premises. BT's ability to provide Broadband to your address is dependent on the presence of an existing BT line and other factors, including the availability of broadband at your serving exchange, and the length of the line connecting you to the exchange.

I have never seen anyone on these forums ever suggest using the address for any purpose once the number of existence of a live "BT" line to the premises has been established.

Actually that last point is true but strange. It is worthwhile during the first 2-3 days after the allocation of a fresh number. The OP's number does not satisfy that criterion.
