Re: Bridgeton - Glasgow - Cabinet Map

Well, try - http://www.telecom-tariffs.co.uk/codelook.htm

You can enter a full postcode and click on "Lookup Postcode" It will return a map but below it, you will see where it lists the cabinet on the right handside in a small table.

Click on the cabinet number and it will bring up a map showing you all the postcodes that cabinet serves. When I just run through it there, I actually found some missing data. Appears that there is a cabinet (Cabinet 69) which is showing as being down for FTTP. Nice find from that data!

Ah, got it working, for a moment I thought it didn't like Northern Ireland, I have found a couple of post codes over here with out of date data (i.e. fttc available but saying it's not)...Interesting.
Definitely easier than the fully manual process.
Cheers.

Here's a question, anyone any idea how up to date/where magenta have got the information for their lookup tool? I thought trefor tried to do something similar and BTo asked him to take it down?

It's very interesting seeing the cabinets mapped out by postcode area.

On their homepage it states:

Magenta Telecom SQL Database, Version 1.2
Creation Date: 5th March 2014
Source: Ofcom CodeList numbering database dated 5th March 2014
Source: BT Electronic Price List dated 25th February 2014
Source: BT Wholesale broadband datasets dated 27th January 2014

So, It's pretty up to date. It's suppose to be limited to 20 searches per day though, however, in the URL bar, after looking at one cabinet, you can just change the cabinet number there and it works. I think with the previous persons website, they had actually identified the exact cabinet locations, whereas this is just giving you rough locations by looking at all the postcodes.

Hey there,
Sorry I should've said, I did see those dates, something made me think BT doesn't actually publish the fttc side of things which made me think they had extracted that info from somewhere separately.
Really useful, and if the info is bang up to date, it's fantastically useful!

just wondered if cabinet 29 is getting infinity, annoying thing is the cabinet is 20 feet from the olympic village! and cabinet 29 on the mile checker is the closest in the G40 postcode area to the exchange!
be really [censored] if a bunch of athletes get infinity for 2 weeks and i've been asking for it for the past ten years...

Hi Rayrosher, I feel your pain smile
Can't answer your specific question, sorry. But I'm right here as well, although a different cabinet, and I understand there's no chance.
To rub salt in the wounds, I understand the fibre is going to be ripped out when they "refurbish" the athletes' village.
Saw some wee boys playing football on these "tank barriers" on London Road yesterday. Thought that was the best use they'll ever see smile
Don't start me on a rant - we're already having problems getting in & out to work. It's going to be a total nightmare for the next three weeks.
Even the polis cars seem to be going around in pairs in the area.

Cabinet map updated again tonight now showing all the cabinets that are part of the BDUK funding.

Basically everything with a purple pin will be getting FTTC.
