Postcodes that are split between cabinets can produce odd results, in this case both cabs are quite a distance from the postcode but the postcode has been turned green as the cabs are live.

Really the postcode should be blue as the area will not get above 24Mbps from either cabinet due to the distance.

As the map is updated the area should turn blue, this then puts you in scope for the 2015-2017 deployment, though still a while to go before planning/deployment.

Berkshire will reach 92.3% superfast coverage by December 2015 but West Berks will only reach 82.9%. The majority of the second phase of funding is for West Berks but how far it will get beyond the 95% target is unkown at current, so you could end up in the last 5%.

The deployment map and the Cabinet suvery list have both been updated recently to show March 2015 deployment and cabs for further deployment in 2015- the RCBF cabs are in the suvery stage.

EO upgrades are starting with Burghfield Common pcp 6 and Theale cab 12, more EO is under suvery for deployment in 2015.

Once pcp 6 is live in Burghfield Common the exchange will have 100% cab FTTC coverage.

According to the BT Broadband checker, I am connected to Cab 6 in Burghfield Common. (I've been told that I have an EO line). I'm hoping that this is what you are referring to as PCP 6?

In that case, based on the superfastberkshire site, the Burghfield EO lines should be available after 31st Dec 2014!

Great news! (if my assumptions are correct)

I was wondering if Slough Main exchange's Cabinet 114 will be Fibre-enabled. Could you have a look for me please? My post code is SL2 5BT. TIA!

You are correct and the service may be live before the 31st of December, keep checking the bt adsl checker as it will update to show fttc live.

You will need to contact the project team, your postcode is shown as commercially live so it may not be in the scope of the project.

Thank you, I've emailed them and I'll keep you updated.

For those of you who don't check every day, cab 6 for the EO lines has been live and accepting orders since Jan 8th - have placed an order and an engineer is coming on the 19th for my fibre install

Now to work out how to order a FoD upgrade....

Regarding my Cabinet 114, I got this reply..

"Slough Cabinet 114 from the data we have received by broadband suppliers which serves postcode SL2 5BT shows that it is planned to be upgraded by the private sector, and is therefore not in the intervention remit for Superfast Berkshire."

Is there any hope? I doubt the private sector is bothered as both BT and Virgin clearly ignore my road. =(

FoD has been suspended at current and it has not been rolled out to all exchanges.
