Just wondering if anyone had any new updates for this cab? Desperately waiting for this cab to be upgraded.

Hi.

Im on the new RedRow 'Heathlands' development on the old Brickworks site just off Church Road, I noticed that the entrance to the Redrow Site a new green cab is placed (off Church Road) but its not FTTC, I noted its CAB 28.

I just got my BB enabled with Plusnet (ADSL2+), as unfortunately they confirmed its not FTTC enabled which is really annoying given its a new estate and also were literally across the road from the exchange.

The more annoying thing is our line speed! It connects on ADSL2+ at 15 MB down, 455k up, however in reality speedtest reviles its only 0.9 MB down, 0.36k up, barely ISDN!
Im on a Cisco WAG320N ADSL2+ Router connected to the master socket.I checked the modulation, tried ADSL, ADSL2+, ADSL2+M, all still the same.I have checked my output info and my attenuation is 17db down and 32db up?Also average SNR is 6.9db up & down.

Basically, I can check email but forget connecting xbox or watching Sky on demand.

PlusNet doesn�t really want to know at this stage. Any suggestions?
PS - Will try the test socket tonight and report back! Cheers.

If you are that close to the exchange then there must be a problem with something, I would suggest posting on their forums.

As for the upload that is about right although you can request it to be uncapped, which should double your upload presuming your line is capable.

The Cabinet is finally showing on the dslchecker from BT, it says we are due to go live BY 31/12/2012

You're probably aware that date is only a place holder date and could change, so bare that in mind.

Still no new informaton on Cabinet 28 - Buckley for FTTC.

DSLChecker not showing any date for FTTC as of 13.02.2013

Any way of asking/informing OpenReach? - given its a new cabinet I doubt they will now re-visit it for a good while.

Anybody any news on cabinet #17? I see the date has moved (yet again), date now says end of June

I see there is a new cabinet just being installed over the road on the common. Hopefully this means it will be enabled soon.

Ok
Some more news Guyz, they were putting the power to the Cab today, Ive been told form openreach there is another small delay, looking like the middle of July now, as the power company were late getting power to the cab

Good work guys - not long now
