If it's all the same to you given I'm on unstable 1.5Mb DSL while you've 15.7Mb DSL and 120Mb cable I'm going to keep all the luck to myself this time around in the hope of the cab going live on time and my activation on it being smooth.

I know I am a lucky person. MY cabinet 8 is just round the corner of my house, I spoken to BT Openreach man who installed fibre optic cable under footpath to my cabinet box there, he say I would get 80/20 too easily!

I drive around in Telford area, so fars, I seen 7 different areas had Large Huawei 288 cabinets. I haven't seen any ECI 128 yet.

It's the same shell, it inside that's different

You won't see a mix of Hauwei and ECI in the same exchange area.

Is that true? How did u know this.

That's interesting then, what's there maximum capacity?

We have a few 256 line ECI's around my way in high population density areas and there's nowhere to stick one of the oversized Huawei cabs.

This is one of them, here. The planning notice listed it as an ECI 256 line DSLAM.

256 lines

Explains why Huawei 288s are all over the place here. That and no conservation areas to force smaller cabs to keep councils happy.
