Excellent news (not for your wife, but there you go).

Now if only they would offer FTTH! Shame I am with Sky, as it will only ever be FTTC

Once the cab is FTTC, you'll be able to order fibre on demand later on this year. Mind you the costs might be prohibitive...

It looks like Cab 5 on Burton Street is finally getting their FTTC twin.

20-28 March:

High impact, delays likely
Location : ADJ OPP 86 TO OPP 66 BURTON STREET
Description : Install 79m of 1 way poly duct in Carriageway
Current status: Planned work about to start
Traffic lights, etc: Traffic control (two-way signals)

A road to avoid as its pretty busy at the best of times.

Quick update: It seems that the Wholesale checker is now showing FTTC speed estimates for telephone numbers, instead of just postcodes.

Tried my number but it doesn't exist I guess because I am on Sky LLU. Still reckons for my address I will get 65mb down and 20mb up. Guys were doing more work on CAB21 earlier in the week as they were messing around with the cable bundles between the old and new cabs.

According to the BT Wholesale checker, FTTC is available!!

EDIT: And Plusnet has accepted my order!

Just checked by address and can see it says "Available", question is now do I want to pay Sky for early termination of phone line and broadband or stick with them for fibre.

It comes down to PlusNet or Sky and today my broadband dropped to 30KB/s downstream, upstream unaffected and I now need to wait up to 5 days for their tier 2 support, not happy!!!

Rang Sky, they couldn't come close to the plusNet offer. Plus I went through TCB install is the first week in May, happy days!

Let me know how you get on! I should get 65mb according to BT, much better than the 10.3mb with Sky!
