18 megs.. wow I wish .. I occasionally hit 8 before my flaky line (but there's nowt wrong according to openjoke) drops me back down to 6.75ish.

I noticed some markings on the road as I was heading for Asda after work the other night, I saw them while I was waiting to get onto the Criterion roundabout, could they be putting in a cab at the bottom of Tremeyrick St?

I guess the thing to do is to keep on at Superfarce Cymru, make them earn their keep rather than just spaffing out Press releases and feeling pleased with themselves. They seem to have little idea what is actually happening with the roll out - which leads me to question their whole existence.

The barriers have gone from around our now shiny shiny so now I guess its all down to the waiting game. Knowing my luck it will probably be 6 months before they hook it up lol

hi all. I was told today by superfast cymru that cabinet 1 which is not live needs to be moved. apparently they have found a new site and work will begin early December. This cabinet feeds hawkstone rd etc in Pembroke dock.

Strange. That means more delay for those unfortunate enough to be connected to that cab.

I am more fortunate, Western power have been digging at PCP29 and I am guessing that the pile of earth now standing alongside it is a sign that we might get service before xmas, just around 6 months late.

Still waiting here too! seems like they are making plenty of cockups which are hampering progress

7 days ago Western Power turned up at the end of the raod, Closed the footpath by the new cabinet and dug some holes. A week later, the mound of earth has gone but the path remains closed. Not sure what is happening now, I passed there just after 9 yesterday morning and there was no sign of any activity in the area.

Finally today the cab has a soft hum that can be heard up close and the checkers tell me that "Clean" I should expect in the range 69.3 - 80 Mbps or "Impacted" 58.8 - 80Mbps.

Tomorrow I will be getting a MAC from Vivaciti, apart from the fact that the Fibre packages they offer do not suit me, I lost all confidence in them with the move from Daisy to Enta.

Looks like Zen here I come.

It will be interesting to see if the disconnects stop on fibre or if they carry on which has to point to the pair between here and the cabinet.

Time to look up how to use our Fritzbox 7930 as a VDSL modem.

Ummm.

Our cabinet had the power on (fans running) for several weeks before it was "enabled".

Same here in Tenby - lots of the cabs have had a hum for several weeks now.

If you go with Zen I believe they order Openreach to supply a VDSL modem on install.

Until last weekend we had a silent cabinet and the fastest "available product" for my line as shown by This Line Checker was ADSL2+ in the range of 6-8Mbps.

The fact that since last night the BT Wholesale checker shows the estimates I quoted in my post (58.8 - 80 Mbps down clean/impacted - 17.7 and 20Mbps up ) suggests to me that it must be live - I will find out later anyhow... time to place an order...
