Now to start pestering BT Openreach to install

Took a long time, but I hope this inspires others who are in the same position as I was.

Well done, fantastic news!!

like you say now you've just got to get BT to install it. Wonder how long that will take.

Thanks Ronski

I've already emailed the BTO project manager twice. Once when I got the heads up from the Case Officer, and again today.

Not heard anything from him yet, will keep posted.

Can anyone give me evidence of rough time between planning approval for trouble site, to getting the cabinet installed and working?

Still not heard anything from BT Openreach regarding my cabinet.

Thanks

Nope, 15 months and counting in the case I'm looking at.

They do the construction in phases so your cabinet will be added to an upcoming construction phase and you are looking at 3 months as a minimum.

Found out today, cabinet due to be put in 7-13 Feb 2013. Roadworks application already in.

Been told that cabinet expected to go into service late April/early May 2013.

Great news. Hopefully no more delays.

Let's hope it goes in, our stragglers keep getting scheduled on roadworks.org but haven't so far been installed, think the last time they may have been postponed due to the snow.

Yep, about 3 months Good stuff.

I have been reading the whole thread here and while I do not live in your area, you have done very well to get things moving, even that it took a LONG time!

Well done.

Thanks for the nice posts.

According to roadworks.org, the cabinet install date has moved forwards a few days to 4-8 Feb.

I'll be down there on Monday with my camera

Will update as and when anything worth mentioning.
