Just to rub it in my sisters cab has had WPD doing power works earlier this week, and for the last 2 days an engineer has been shuttling between PCP30 and its twin for several hours, more and more new cabs appearing but PCP29 remains alone and unloved despite the stuff the contractor told me a couple of weeks ago it seems PCP29 is a long way down the list, forgotten between the ones on the edge of the exchange area and the ones just round the corner from it.

Might see something end of next month

Hate to rub it in even more but even Cosheston has a cab installed.

I'm gutted though as Tenby hasn't even got a rollout date yet. I'm keeping fingers crossed that the superfast cymru finally shows Tenby at the end of the month when it's updated!

My father-in-law lives about 50metres away from that Cab and he's over the moon - he currently only gets about 256KB/s down!

In terms of useful information the superfarce site is useless. They seem enslaved by twatter clearly not understanding that not everyone wants to be a twatter follower (in the same way that facebook doesnt appeal to many).

My view of the site is that is a lesson in how to get information dissemination totally wrong, when dealing with specifics of where and when, preferring to spout press releases and other PR puff that doesn't address any specific facts, nor does it seem to offer any route to enquire.

What a waste of design and hosting costs!

Cant see there being any planning issues - PCP29 is situated in a wide pathway that cuts through beteen 2 roads (Street view link below) , in the middle of a well populated and mature residential area which seems to have plenty of power available especially as they have just built a couple of Small estates on the northern side of the town "pond" within a 2 min walk of PCP29 - ironically they will also be served by this cab.

I saw a new chamber being created in the pathway at the bottom of Bush Hill, with some ducting being left protruding, I'm assuming that is the twin for another PCP, I'm hoping we wont be sharing it as it is almost twice the distance from here that 29 is, and given the reluctance of Openjoke to get to the bottom of my line drop issues of over 10 years, anything that introduces further "complexity" to my service is something that fills me with dread.

DSLAM cabinets arnt shared with multiple PCPs.
AFAIK, the only issue awaiting your cabinet being completed is Openreach, and hopefully that will be done next month.......with luck.

If the ducting for a fibre cab for 'another' PCP than PCP29 then it won't be serving your line.

TBH I think you are worrying over nothing. PCP29 serves most of the Golden Hill estate and is almost certain to be converted.

Not so much worried as Frustrated that all around I see progress but not on my PCP, and given that I have been trying to get a decent stable service for 10 years I'm looking to see if the problem persists once I am on FTTC - which I think will prove that the issue is the copper between our Post and PCP29.

I see the Fibre contractors are now In Pembroke, working on Westgate Hill yesterday - I assume that is for the cabs in Merchants Park and Monkton, Ironically the Fibre feed will run right past the bottom of the path where PCP29 is located, so within 30 feet but no service... and of course the superfarce site has no real contact route open for us to find out what is going on.

Depressing........

At least you have a cabinet, I live top of Llanion and being exchange only lines up here, superfarce says it will upgrade exchange only lines but thats it, it doesn't mention how or when etc, BT juts leave us all in the dark with the roll-out.
