Yes I think that was 'Irby' on this forum who burnt the shoe leather many years ago - TBH the FTTC cabinets are mostly in place its the laying of new ducting along Whaley Lane thats required - once this is done I would expect connect to Fibre should progress faster in Irby area - I would urge all to encourage you & your neighbours to petition Esther McVey our local MP , she contacted BT & Open reach etc over delays - the more that moan to her , gives her more ammunition IMHO

Yeah, that was me and 'Saidin'. We don't have the same mechanism to prove demand this time around, besides, as Xboxasap says, we're already on the roadmap. It will happen eventually, though sometimes I doubt it

I have just checked Open reach website and they have a more specific phone line/postcode checker for fibre BB delivery - this is the result I got ?

Exchange name: IRBY

Status: Exploring Solutions

We're keen to bring Superfast Fibre to your area and are exploring how best to achieve that. We may deliver it as part of our commercial programme, or by working in partnership with your local authority. At the moment you can't order Superfast Fibre.

Which cabinet are you on?

FTTC 9 at end of Whaley Lane junction with Thingwall Road East .

Interesting change of status, it's probably something to do with the ducting that needs to be done in that area. Cabinet 3 still shows as EA but cabinet not ready yet.

I watched a video on YouTube from the Government promoting Super Fast Broadband in UK . And found link below as a postcode checker for Projects - progress update in UK for Commercial Broadband in UK - click Merseyside & check your postcode - mine says due June 2015 seems to tally with my last post delayed till Spring 2015 .

Sadly you won't be able to complain to Open Reach as they do not deal with the end user (public) directly only ISP's .
I would suggest complaining to your ISP & MP to see what pressure they can bear on Open Reach . BTW what general do you live in Wirral ?
