Good luck to Exmouth. Keep on to BT if nothing is happening for your cab, bear in mind that the BT statement "Your town now has fibre" is a sound-bite, the reality is "part" of your town will have fibre...

Here in Teignmouth the planned coverage is full of holes, my cab near the centre will not now be enabled as "not economic" - easy access, easy power, very close to the main fibre runs but apparently does not have enough lines. BT managers are polite and responsive but can/will do nothing.... frustratingly my cab was suddenly removed from the rollout, I found out by chance when checking if FTTx was available yet.

Only hope is some infill money from Connecting Devon and Somerset who signed with BT at the end of January, meanwhile my small media business suffers slow UL on DSL that makes it very hard to compete in it's sector.

Bah!

Woohoo! FTTC available from 8AM today according to the BT checker. A couple of weeks before the estimate provided by Openreach.

Got mine ordered this morning install dates the 17th April.

When did the checker results change for you(wondering whether they did a whole batch of cabinets and updated the checker for all of them together)?

Mine is now available to plus a few of my mates. Looks like they enabled a large batch all at once

Friday, they released approx 15 cabinets all up the hulham road side of exmouth and coming off dinan way. There are still quite a few with a June date dotted around.

Hey all!

Been trawling the site for days now and can't make sense of it!

Exmouth is now accepting orders but not me!? I'm EX8 5BN and cabinet 55 is across the road from me, by Dinan way trading estate.

Gutted my brother has already placed his order..... Sibling rivalry still takes place at 30!!!

Anyone shed any light?

Much love

Not all cabinets are enabled yet. Strange how yours isn't though, mine (50, down near St. Johns road) is - and installation date next Wednesday.

Be patient, it'll happen eventually!

(Assuming that you have a fibre cabinet there, nothing for your postcode on the BT checker...)

Yeah that's what I don't get about it, cabinet number 55 is across the road from my house and the Openreach guys were literally at the end of my drive over Xmas installing the cables. There seems to be another fiber box by McDonald's on my side but looking at some if the pictures I just saw box 55 doesn't look like it's fttc capable?

Cabinet 55 is the same style as my cabinet which is 56 on Dinan Way at the Hulham Road end. Is there a date when you check the FTTC availability site? I don't recall seeing any FTTC cabinets up by McDonalds
