I wonder which of the two is most accurate?

Following Occam's razor (the simplest explanation is probably correct) and avoiding all conspiracy theories, the answer is probably: Both of them.

Or rather: both of them are an equally accurate statement of the plan, as they knew it, at the time the answer was written.

Using Roadworksscotland I notice that BT have scheduled work in the street that has the cabinet (P8) that will provide my fibre between 10th and 19th December. Of course they could be doing anything, but its encouraging. Will take a walk along and have a word with engineers.

If the roadworks name BT, then it probably isn't for power works. In the past, it seems to be the power companies that get named for those works.

Still worth chatting though...

My cabinet had the power done as it was installed. What they could be doing now is the fibre for the cabinet

Grrr, fibre, fibre all around me and not a drop to drink! At this rate, everywhere on the Bannockburn exchange will get connected up apart from Pike Road/Wallace Park.

Nothing showing on roadworks.org for my cabinet through to December 2013. I give up! Wish I never moved from my old house!

NB: BT working along the A9 from Plean early Jan, several BT road-works listed on roadworksscotland.org

Took a walk past cabinet 8 today - nada!!

Got another email today

"I have checked our systems again and they still indicate that cabinet 8 is showing as to go-live towards the end of February 2013, barring any complications."

Why do I have a feeling in my water that there will be complications ?

I mentioned earlier that I got a response from the FTCC checker with post code, but no mention with address or phone number I contacted Openreach and said the cab ( p4 )should be ready Feb 2013.

Entering phone number today it says the following

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 l
ine speed of 63.7Mbps and upstream line speed of 20Mbps.

Here's hoping the earlier date is accurate.

I checked mine and also noted that it had my Fibre date as 30th June 2013, which is at odds with the email response I got from BT that I posted above - eg the end of February. Have emailed them back requesting clarification.

More work was carried out on cabinet P4 (Cowie) today, I believe this now completes the work on this particular cabinet. I also believe that cabinet P4 will be ready to accept orders in February, contrary to what the BT Wholesale checker is saying. Hopefully my source is correct!

Yes I saw two guys today working on both cabs
