Thanks

I know I am hijacking a bit but Gleggside in West Kirby (just off Black Horse Hill) - Anyone know when this is coming - I think it was down for May now notice it is available from 30/9

Can't wait though

Just spoken with OpenReach chap working on P12 FTTC cabinet Pensby Road, he was making copper connection with existing phone cabinet - also he said they have not blown fibre cable thru ducting yet, didn't have local accent, when asked if they would be starting work on cabinet in Whaley Lane ? , asked where was Whaley Lane ? clearly not local as its just up the road . Seems that Openreach are moving towards Exchange from one area , not from the Irby Village end it seems .

Yes but I've explained why that is. This has absolutely nothing to do with the Irby exchange. The fibre is coming from the Arrowebrook exchange in Upton.

Yep, which strangely has resulted in the only cabinets to be operational are the ones furthest from Arrowebrook!

I think 'my' cabinet (P3) is one of the nearest to Arrowebrook, OpenReach have emailed me to say it's been pushed back to 31st December.

Same thing happened with Heswall though. They took about a month to unblock the ducts coming from Arrowebrook to Heswall and put loads of new joint boxes up Arrowe Park Rd and Pensby Rd so you would expect the closest cabinet to go live but it didn't work like that.

They've always said they enable the ones that their algorithm works out will generate the most money first.

I think the housing near the enabled cabinets is slightly more dense that P3, see map in my sig for details. So that agrees with your algorithm comment.

PCP 3 isn't the closest to Arrowebrook as the fibre runs up Arrowe Park Rd and then Pensby Road so actually PCP 12 was the nearest to the existing fibre supplying Heswall from Arrowebrook. But that's all irrelevant anyway!

Well - as an LVCAL exchange user - I am praying that 30/9 doesn't slip again..
897m from exchange....

Should be a good speed when it eventually arrives....

Your distance from the exchange is largely irrelevant with FTTC, in fact, that's the whole point of FTTC. Think of it as bringing a small part of the exchange nearer your house
