Nice one. Thanks

I can't take the credit for it, someone else posted it on here last year.

Worked a treat for me on both numbers I was monitoring, although it does pick up every change in the webpage , so not every notification you get is relevant.

Disappointed earlier when I checked the checker, and saw it now shows June for Cabinet 50, followed by confusion when I saw the exchange as AO on where&when. Nice to see I'm not the only one though.

Checked a few more numbers I know.
Cabinet 50 - June
Cabinet 4 - March
Cabinet 9 - June
Cabinet 17 - June

So not sure which cabinets are live yet.. Hope it doesn't take until June to get activated, cabinet has been in place for 5 months now, and it's only in the past month that I've managed to get 1.9mbit (up from 1.1 max before) thanks to persistence and eventually getting a more helpful Openreach engineer - ~40mbit will be very nice indeed!

Is it worth e-mailing Openreach about a cabinet's status? I think I contacted them before and they weren't any more specific than the online checker.

I can see Openreach making their way to my cabinet on Dinan Way. On the way back from work tonight i saw to vans parked up and a couple of chaps pushing the tubing down the ducts on the corner of Hulham and Marley Road.
According to an Openreach engineer i know our cabinet has power and connection to PCP, just no fibre.

Lol your not far from our office on cab 55.

Waiting patiently though...

Where's cab 55?

Was updated on the status of cabinet 23 today by Openreach -

You are connected to the Exmouth Exchange, cabinet 23.

We are currently experiencing engineering difficulties in deploying your cabinet. This is due to blockages in the ducts, we are hoping to repair these and then will be able to continue the build of the cabinet. If all goes to plan we are hoping that the cabinet will be ready for service mid-April 2013, barring any further complications.

Oh well, it's a bit better than June.

Was that information via email? The best they would give me was the June 2013 date. I see there are now 8 cabinets live in exmouth, all on the Salterton Road side.

Yes, e-mail.
