In reply to a post by AndyPandy:

i just did a quick google streetview tour of Simmons way, and I couldn't see a cabinet at all at the exchange end (where it meets Marlow road)?

The checker I posted above will (should) definitely tell you which cab your connected to, but finding the things can be more difficult!

I went and looked at the one closer to me than the one I'm connected to, and perhaps it's not a bad thing I'm not on it, as it looks a bit beaten up! (By the turning to the parade and primary school - No. 6)

Of the 3 parts of that T-junction, you can only see it from 1, and it's from a heck of a distance ^u^

Ooof! Cabinet 6 has seen better days eh? Been a while since I've been up there.

I spotted it this morning - odd location for a cab! You're right, it's 7.

There's an update on the connected counties site that's got me excited, and possibly someone else on this thread

Looks like Lane End cabs 2 & 7 are going to be ready for service this year, between June & December!

Dang! I was just about to post the exact same thing to you xD

Roll on fibre! \o/

Ironically I'm now very glad not to be connected to the the cab that's closest to me, as that's not scheduled yet - though I see Lane End shows up in the Phase 3 list, so likely will be done later

Funny how these things work out ^u^

Out of interest (and based on your sig), are you staying with Zen after the FTTC switch? I was with them many years ago back when they has usage limits, and would happily return to them for FTTC. They still as good as always?

I'd still wholeheartedly recommend Zen - never had a problem with them, and when I've had a problem with the BT side, they've been all over it.

Service isn't shaped, throtted etc. It's an internet connection, plain and simple!

Right now I pay a (subsidised) amount for Zen Office, so I get 1Tb of data a month, which although I never use nearly that, I'm happy to have. I hate having to look at the usage checker, and thing about when I can download things, or stream things.

Just looking forward to a cheaper, faster, and unlimited bandwidth service with them

Given that it's a minimum 12 month contract due to BT's rules, I wouldn't dare try anyone else!

Guess what just showed up on roadworks.org

Planned works at cabinets 1 & 7, dated for 24th July - 6th August. I'd imagine the other 2 phase 2 cabinets will have their planned works show up soon.

Can't wait!

Cabinet 2 just showed up, 29th July - 11th August. That just leaves cabinet 5 to make an appearance and that will be all 4 phase 2 cabinets =)

Already moved my phone to Zen in preparation, can't wait! \o/

Another Lane Ender here... well Moor Common anyway. I see that Cabinet 5 up in Frieth was installed a week or so ago while I was on holiday. Getting excited now...
