Re: BT Cabinet Installing

[re: adslmax] [link to this post]

Hiya guys and thanks for the responses over my previous question!

I got a reply back from Openreach to state that they plan to plonk in the VDSL cabinet for Cabinet 26 (Runcorn Main) towards the back end of January 2014.

I'm just wondering, how long after the VDSL cabinet is placed, do you usually wait before you can get FTTC?

The reason I'm asking is that the VDSL cabinet is planned to be put in at the end of January, but according to the Wholesale checker, the service wont be available until 31-05-14.

Many thanks guys!!

The cabinet being stood is just one part of a complex story, it may be stood on the day suggested but all the other work

mains, fibre, copper interconnects, clearing blocked ducts can push the live date some months beyond a cabinet first being stood.

There is no FTTC cabinet stood up yet. Still old cabinet PCP8. No work was doing this area since Dec 10th. I think contractor probably go somewhere else and not bothered to do my cabinet yet. I had emailed openreach CEO asked her to find out what is going on? And a quick reply from openreach saying:

Hi ***********,

Apologies my fault I was trying to get a 100% confirmed date for you.

The notice for works as you rightly point out has been raised.

All Dslam cabinet works notices are typically 10 days to erect the cabinet and connect the power at the same time.

I have raised the specific question on your cabinet with our construction team and will let you know asap their views on the actual visible build activity start date.

Thanks for the email

Olivia Garfield
