Loopy65 - It's live, unfortunately that area (the Buarth, Stanley Rd) seems to be exchange only lines. You can check here.

burakkucat - whoops lol.

mrijones - I'm on the Waun, that's an old photo (2011), there's a new bigger cab near to the one in the photo. Now you mention it, it probably is to do with the mobile mast, had forgotten that mast was there! it's a different shape than the FTTC cabs, same green though.

Icaras - I saw their vans on Llanbadarn road last week, they moved over to Llanbadarn after the Waun. No idea what they were doing though.

Thanks, I can't check at the moment but I'm guessing from what you've said that there's no fibre cabinet in place yet for cabinet 8?

How are things progressing by now?

I've seen that Telent have been working on the new cab near the Waun junction for a few days now.

Cabinet 8 has gone live today.

Still nothing on the Buarth ... Getting annoying now, specially as the students are back so the existing broadband is often anything but speedy!

Excuse the thread necromancy but anyone local with an idea what the situation with Cabinet 6 is? Those of us in Southgate/Rhydyfelin (Maes Clos / Crugiau estates) are still in the dark. There's what appears to be coils of fibre hanging from telegraph poles and spray paint on the pavement which appears to point out High Voltage lines and a location for a Power supply for a DSLAM but thats been there over a year.

The online FTTC checker now states we are in scope for FTTP which would be lovely but theres no way of getting a time scale on such activity that I am aware of.

FTTP is more constrained by the number of people available to do the work...

Plus after embarrassing complaints from the time when more dates were given, i.e. people got annoyed that not all dates were kept and some slipped the issuing of projected live dates has vanished.

Its keep an eye on the local progress
