Any idea if my connection could be changed to work from the Cosheston new cab thats just been metioned?

I'm not far from there. I could literally lay my own cable!

Openreach will not reorganise their network for you - if you are currently fed direct from the exchange then you'll stay that way.

Besides which I guess the next cabinet along the road towards Cosheston for you would be PCP19 at Slade Cross which, it seems, is not on the list for conversion

There is FTTP and copper rearrangement in Pembroke so maybe fortunate.
Cab 19 will probably go FTTP

Its a possibility that I'm connected to Cab 19 because its not far from my place........ Someone just mentioned one day that I was connected directly to the exchange.
Any way of finding out other than asking an engineer?

Put your phone number in here:

It will tell you in the text at the top of the results page.

Telephone Number 01646****** on Exchange PEMBROKE

Doesn't state a cab number as it does on another families number when checked. Looks like I'm knackered until FTTP comes in. One thing i did notice was it stated a maximum speed of up-to 12mb. I'm lucky I sometimes get over that

We are located just in st David's road. We run off cabinet 11 but I've noticed at the end of our road there's a smaller cabinet 11/1. I take it from each main cabinet it feeds smaller cabinets such as 11/1 and then to homes?

A DP rather than a PCP - take it you have no telephone poles on your estate?

That's right mate. All bungalows. So I take it cabinet 11 will have fibre from the exchange and then We will have copper to the dp and to home?

A lot of cabinets seem to be appearing without any planning mentions, Like the one in Merchants Park, Pembroke. What is concerning me now is that When I spoke to the guys that were working on PCP30 in Merchants Park, who were doing some preliminary works prior to the laying of Ducting and the installation of a cabinet they told me that PCP 29 was on their list for the following day, however since then 30 has had a fibre cab installed but Nothing has happened with 29, no ducting or base, no cabinet, I see many others going in - some only a couple of minutes walk from the exchange (beside the Ferry Lane Railway Bridge), but PCP 29 seems to have been forgotten, so the hope of a decent and stable service here seems to be receding slightly.

It is so frustrating - seeing the infrastructure going in all around me but not yet for the Cab that the wet string that serves my home is connected to. This line has always been difficult - even on dial up they had to tweak the gain because of issues when I moved here, and when Broadband came along (on the old Pipex 512 service) the line drops at varying intervals, sometimes several times in a day, and other times it will go for a couple of weeks without any issues, I had hoped for more than an average of 6 megs out of a line that is less than 3 Km in length. I'm hoping that if the issues persist after FTTC then it will add credibility to my theory that the issue lays in the loop between my home and the cabinet, and that might help me persuade Openjoke to finally get around to fixing a problem that has persisted for over 10 years,
