The wales program seems to have stalled at present as it is some weeks since the last Welsh exchange was announced. None in Scotland either this week. Cornwall also has had no new announcements for some time.

There were 31 additional exchanges announced in the fortnight to 12/03/14
NORTH GRIMSTON, Weaverham, LIVERPOOL CENTRAL, KELSO, GLENROTHES CENTRAL, GLASGOW DOUGLAS, EAST (CENTRAL MIDLANDS), DUNTOCHER, DUNSFORD, DRYBROOK, DENTON BURN, BLYTHE BRIDGE, BADMINTON, ABSON,

and a further 18 in the fortnight to 25/03/14.

BARTON, BEACON, BRIDGERULE, BUNWELL, COCKERMOUTH, CODSALL, COWDENBEATH, GOUROCK, HOLYTOWN, ILKETSHALL, INVERNESS CULLODEN,
LENHAM, PIERCEBRIDGE, PONTESBURY, SCAMPTON, SHERE, SHIREBROOK, WARSOP.

Bringing the total with some cabinets enabled to 2075 exchanges. This is an increase of 635 exchanges since the begining of April 2013 ( from 1440).

there is 1 week left to go so we may hit 2100 before the end of the year ( Tuesday 1st or wed 2nd as the lists are normally updated on Tuesdays).

There are around 5600 exchanges in total so there are approx. 3500 left to do, however these are mainly very small.

There are some that have been announced on BDUK sites but are not yet on the Openreach lists above these may appear next week. Still a long way to go (including all the EO customers) to get anywhere near full geographic coverage.

Where do you get Inverness Culloden from? Its not listed on Openreach's twitter feed and its still showing as 'coming soon' on superfast 'where and when' website. Nothing on BT ADSL checker either

Its now showing as accepting orders on the superfast website though my cabinet (# 6) isn't live yet. According to Highlands & Islands Enterprise cab should be live by end of April, touch wood

I take them off the accepting orders spreadsheet on the openreach site.

After some fuss last year over how slowly BT were enabling exchanges and the financial / calenday year rate. I check each week or fortnight and compare with the previous week. Thus I can tell the newest exchanges to be enabled. The list is normally updated Tuesday or Wednesday of each week. The spreadsheet is more accurate than the twitter feed which sometimes doen't get done.

This thread has all the movements for this year in wnen you take my next post which will be the last for this year. ( up to the 2nd April) I may do a new one for 2014/15 year.

Thanks mate, really appreciate your effort

For the last week bringing us to 02/04/14 there were a massive 50 additional new exchanges announced.

ALBRIGHTON, ANSTRUTHER, BELLSHILL, CAMBRIDGE TRUNKS / TRUMPINGTON, COCKENZIE, CRACOE, DAVIOT, EDINBURGH SOUTH QUEENSFERRY, ELLON, FRAMLINGHAM, FRECKLETON, GLASGOW SOUTH, HADDENHAM; CAMBRIDGESHIRE, HALFWAY HOUSE, HAREFIELD, HELENSBURGH, HEST BANK, HINDERWELL, HOLBROOK, HOPEMAN, JOHNSTONE, KELTY, KINGTON LANGLEY, LARKHALL, LEEDS, LITTLEPORT, LLANGOED, LYNEMOUTH, MERTHYR TYDFIL, MOELFRE, MOULTON CHAPEL, OFFTON, OGMORE VALLEY, PAKENHAM, PATTISHALL, PINCHBECK BARS, SCARTHO, SEVINGTON, SINDERBY, SOUTH CERNEY, SUTTON; CAMBRIDGESHIRE, VALLEY, WEST WIGSTON, WHELDRAKE, WICKHAM MARKET, WIGGENHALL ST GERMANS, WIRKSWORTH, YAPTON, YNYSOWEN, Yockleton.

This brings the total to 2125 an increase of 685 in the year.

Surprisingly 21 show as FTTC/P nearly all of which appear to be BDUK sites, this may mean that FTTP is beining to appear in some of the rural areas too get to the hard to reach hamlets.

Some of these exchanges are getting in the very small size, Moelfre shows on sam knows as around 700 and Daviot in the Highlands as 420.

The Superfast Wales site ( not one of the best for detail) now show most of Angelsey as enabled exchanges, all of which were BDUK funded. So this is evidence of a rural area being helped. This is also true of the Gwynedd coast area where again the are no commercial exchanges at all. It will be interesting watching the rest of Wales getting some superfast coverage. The Welsh assembly seem to have gone for dense coverage of each county so some counties will not be touched till later which will lead to lots of moans. I wonder if Scotland will happen the same way?

I'm not so sure of that. this shows evidence of some exchanges in rural areas being enabled not rural areas themselves .Unless someone lives within a few km of the exchange, this won't make any difference to them.

With the exception of Llanelli, there isn't a single exchange in Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion or Powys enabled.

This is very much a WAG Labour/PC constituency area rollout in time for elections.

Meanwhile, Superfast have one very quiet on future roll out plans - no updates this year.
