NICC rules i.e. the ANFP

There is a rumour that this has changed, but have not found any proof of it.

Power masks are used on VDSL2 already to reduce cross talk issues, it is much more of an issue than ADSL2+

Do you have a postcode I can have to make it easier to chase up and ask what they are doing about this.

If the line is connected directly to the exchange, then I presume the Op is pretty close to it

T'ain't always so. Got EO lines off Mortimer round here that go 8+ kilometres.

ouch.

I can't see the reason for that happening where this person lives, because there is plenty of cabinets around there.

i was surprised that they was connected directly to the exchange as the flats are pretty new. even more surprised that the sync speed is so naff. it could be Talk Talk mind you.

Anyway, it will not be a problem soon as they have been offered a larger flat, not far from me, so if they want FTTC, they can do so.

I have sent you a PM with details.

In reply to a post by BatBoy:

Because your line is exchange-only (EO), you're not connected to a cabinet.

How do u know this? Where does it say EO?

I was wrong 1st time.

The BT Address Checker for any valid # @ Postcode SE16 3EY does not show a cab #. This road seems to be full of flats.

Most Londoners get it quickly.
Most londoners lines go House - Local green cab - Local exchange

You unfortunately go house - Exchange.

Fibre is added to the green cab, if your line doesn't go via the green cab = no fibre.

In future a solution will be made available but it's likely to be a while. Meanwhile fibre is being rolled out to green cabinets.

You will only get fibre if you go via a green cabinet currently.

The reason you see accepting orders etc is probably because some neighbours go via a cab so these can get fibre & anyone nearby via a cab can get it.

if it doesn't give a cabinet number you're EO

roughly what proportion of lines are EO on the exchanges in your area ?

An interesting question and one I would like to see answered for all exchanges and is something that could perhaps be incorporated into the SamKnows dbs. I feel a solution to the EO "problem" is going to be essential if BT is ever to hope to reach the high percentage levels of NGA lines that have been mentioned.
