We've got a cab that was installed in May 2012, power connection was scheduled for June 2012, and fibre must run right past it to other cabs which are live, but alas one year on and it is still not live.

Then on the other hand, another was installed 19 February this year, and went live around the end of May, taking around 3 months.

In reply to a post by rs82uk:

I spotted a fibre cabinet being installed over the weekend right next to our normal cabinet.
Still no FTTC listed on the bt wholesale checker for my address how long does it usually take between cabinet install to taking orders?

Over a year since most of the cabinets were installed here, and none are active yet.

is no set time but I think the good news is now the cabinet is there you at least know things are moving now.

yes fingers crossed the trench to the old cab has been finished already.
