Re: FTTC Availabilty


[re: deleted] [link to this post] 		 
In reply to a post by SteveRoebuck:
Any ideas how I can get a better idea which Cab I am connected to.
I'd be fairly sure that checker is correct, Cab 5, seeing as you gave it the address.

What you could do is email and ask [email protected] with the address and TT phone number, possibly the line at the top of that checker result where it gives the cabinet number. Apparently the response time is around three weeks at the moment, maybe rising as more and more people get to know about it.

Also, go out and find cab 5. See if there is a new FTTC cabinet within (probably) 50 metres, or any signs of work like newly-filled trenches, pavement markings or manhole covers.

There is definitely signs of work, Openreach vans have been about for months and we have a new green cabinet appears with a huge "SUPERFAST is here" poster on it.

I'll fire an email off this afternoon.

That's good. The checker, both before and since its format change does seem a bit haphazard about FTTC.

EO means Exchange Only. Fed direct with no cabinet involved. Currently that means zilch fibre for addresses served that way.

EO = Exchange Only

If that is the case you are going to be waiting longer for fibre. Why?

An EO line goes to the exchange direct without going via a cabinet, so no easy place to locate a fibre cabinet. Things are changing as the item linked to below indicates.

Cab 5 might be this one here. about 100m down Brodsworth Way from the junction with Stripe Road.

It's a bit difficult to read the number in the Street View pic.
