Hi,

Cabinet was stood in October/November 2013 excavations for power and PCP were finished by end 2013 since then nothing. Exchange is Darwen (LCDAR)cabinet 24.

Its not just my cabinet, seems to be the whole south end of Darwen.

Due to some person reporting Openreach to the ASA for their updates, Openreach stopped giving them.

I know this is some months later but they appear to be talking again.

I emailed openreach about why FTTC was slipping on my cabinet (for the last two years) and I got this reply within 10 days....

Dear Mr XYZ,





Thank you for your email. I have checked the records for the address you have provided and can confirm that you are connected through TILE HILL exchange cabinet 34.



I can confirm that your line has no planned cabinet upgrade as this vicinity has been selected for FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) service. This will involve a direct fibre link from the exchange to property.

At the moment I am unable to provide details regarding dates as this is still within the early stages. Some of the early deadlines are due within the next month. Once these review dates have passed we will have a clearer picture regarding the timescale for completion.



At this stage I would recommend that you re contact us in 2 months when we have further information regarding timescales.


Kind regards

If you don't mind what email address did you use to contact them? As nga.enquiries does not exist any more.

Read the post the address was a reply to, then the post that caused the question .

Mine too has changed to 30-Jun-15 after more than 2 years of it estimating availability.

Hi, the map is now showing availability in Darwen but only to certain cabinets. My cabinet (26) is saying march but after a lot of enquiry they refuse to comment so it could be another placeholder date. Even the guys who work for openreach on the street refuse to answer any questions.

after trying many methods to get better internet (6g cannot connect signal in alot of darwen due to terrain, 4g+ being a huge amount of money due to the new technology and multiple lines into the house also being too expensive) it's seeming that darwen is stuck in the stone age.

I'm currently writing an email to the mp of darwen, as seemingly the darwen became enabled after i emailed him last and he replied with evidence that he had been onto openreach to see what the hold up was.

Maybe if enough of us care they might hurry up.
