Thanks for the info, but either im not reading the same thing as you, or something but the superfast wales still says that work will start in march and not finish.

I suppose its kind of good news that they have started work 2 months early.

I can only hope that fibre comes sooner rather than later! I only really want the upload xD

The March date is by when the First cabs will be available, all these dates are in 3 month periods!, So either Mar, June, Sep or Dec and cover a number of exchanges that will be done over the period.

Not all the exchange may be covered by the date but some will always be done.

In NW Wales they often had the first cabs available early in the 3 month period.

The last ( hardest to do cabs) may be later and the extra work to give the outlying areas a long way from the cab the min 2Mb will come later. Some groups of outlying houses may even get FTTP but these will happen after the cabs have been done.

As you are on a cab in the village you can expect to be done in the first period.

You may just suddenly notice a FTTC cab alongside yours if it doesn't require roadworks. But it will still require power and connecting to the old cab and fibre to the exchange that appears to be some distance from the village.( Are you in Leeswood or Pontybodkin?)

The fibre may go back to Gresford via Caergwrle rather than Pontybodkin. As it looks an easier route.

I can recall BT laying a cable of some sorts between Mold and... Somewhere this way, I dont know where. This was a good 8 months ago now.

I'm in Leeswood. About 230 meters from the cab here:

This cab, at the other end of the village, Dingle Road, Has markings on the foot path opposite, in front of that small wall.

There is also this cab, that is between the 2 with no markings.

And the other cab that has info on roadworks.org witch is about a mile away:

And here is another cab between my cab and the one above. Also no markings or roadworks.org info.. Again maybe there is not need for roadworks but I still find it odd that no markings have popped up.

Well they are due to start work on Monday so I will keep an eye out. If I see a cab going in next to mine I might get so excited I'll give my self a heart attack xD

Now the roll of ducting or what ever it was has now gone

Looks like there is a delay of some sort..

Hopefully Open reach will get back to me soon

More marking on the pavement have appeared.

But in a odd location:

There is a road there now going into some new houses. New cab marked to go on the corner.

Also got a reply from NGA and the FTTC rollout here is under BDUK funding.

Could be a new PSTN cab to cope with the number of properties

we have been under MBORC in north wales after the bad weather. fixing the existing network will take priority so there are inevitable delays, im connected to pcp6 which was due to be done as you say on roadworks.org, been stuck on 20cn for years so a few more weeks is nothing

Says DSLAM on the pavement tho so must be a FTTC cab?

those new houses near bronallt with the dslam writing on the floor what do you reckon the distance is between that marking and the pcp up the road near the community centre, not sure on the maximum distance they use between pcp and new fttc cab
