Just today noticed there is digging at P1, looks like an FTTC install.

In addition to that, there is also now a cabinet in front of the exchange for exchange only lines. In fact this is currently being done for pretty much all Wirral exchanges. So you could add that to your Google Maps list. I'm pretty sure it has a number on the front of it but I can't for the life of me remember what it says. Possibly PCP 19?

Ah, I thought that might happen. The same just happened up the road in Neston, right opposite the exchange is a new FTTC install.

Yes, Heswall too-cabinet 17. Bromborough also.

I saw the new cab in Heswall but it didn't click with me it was an EO 'problem solver' until just now. I cycle past it about 20 times a week!

Just for info, the Caldy exchange is now active and taking orders - only a year late but its great news

In reply to a post by JC68:

Great news for Caldy - but Irby exchange has been active and taking orders for over six months - the issue as I understand it is whether the FTTC has been enabled for your telephone area , this determines if you can order fibre broadband, sadly the one in Whaley lane still not enabled and I don't see it being before Xmas

Just had letter from my MP Esther McVey as she has been advised by BT that FTTC 9 in Whaley Lane requires installation of 150m of additional ducting, likely to be Spring 2015 before orders will be available on Fibre, but there could be further unforeseen delays.
I would say that this is likely to effect other FTTC's towards Irby Village area & beyond not being connected to Irby Exchange for Fibre.
Looks like my previous post comment over non connection to Fibre before Xmas have come true

I'm going to place a bet now. We won't have FTTC on the affected cabinets until Jan 2016.

I regret you may be right on this as I was told of the blockage in ducting and requirement to install additional ducting in early June 2014, and now 6 months on nothing has been done.
Esther McVey has done the best she can in raising this issue with OpenReach & BT, some success with Caldy Exchange has been reported but I feel we all need to also raise concern with our respective ISP's over upgrade to Fibre BB, and hopefully OpenReach will see demand is there in our area, and get their finger out.
