Wow, thanks, I had managed to miss that somehow. End of 2015 is something to look forward to.

My postcode.

They could always put FTTP to my house if they like

Thanks Stuart.

Will they have to do any roadworks for EOLs? I thought that if the lines go into the exchange already it would be all on BT's premises. I did fear that they weren't going to address the EOL issue at all so it is nice to know that we are being scheduled for 2015.

If it was going to be fttp then usually no changes are made to phone side. Believe it will be fttc

Sometimes they need roadworks, sometimes they don't

As MrSaffron says, the www.roadworks.org site simply shows the civil works for any utility including Openreach. Works can vary from installing new ducting to accessing manholes to repair cables.

Works associated with Fibre/BDUK works can be identified by reading the description of works. Sometimes it states Fibre/BDUK but it will never have any 'go live' dates of cabinets.

I'm not sure they will do FTTP from Boughton. I expect just a cabinet next/outside the exchange.

I wasn't getting anywhere seeing if they would do anything about lines too far from the cabinet in Oversland.

In reply to a post by bobd91:

Thanks. My exchange is Pembury, the postcode TN2 4HL

I have checked the KCC website, they say I should get fibre but then cover themselves with ifs and buts.

None of these websites (OpenReach, BDUK, county council, ISPs) seem to acknowledge that there is such as thing as an exchange only line. It seems a bit odd as it must affect a lot of households.

I'm in Pembury High Street and a BT engineer is coming to my house to install fibre modem this week. My postcode became AO (accepting orders) on or around 25th December 2014 and requested a switch over immediately. BT engineer date was confirmed on 30th.

Well the Boughton exchange is slated to get both FTTC and FTTP.

It woud make sense to use FTTP - there are a lot of properties fairly densely distributed within a few hundred metres of the exchange with EO lines. I think the unkown is whether we will all get FTTP or whether it will only be some.

The interactive map seems to show Oversland as fully enabled, but presumably properties connected to a fibre cabinet but too far from it for service are being smudged over in the data.

The council have just got a new tranche of funding for more BDUK work, and do seem determined to get every household in the county onto fast connections one way or another eventually, so I guess the unlucky few will get there in the end, although not much consolation now.

Slightly envious in that I placed an order on the 23rd for Pembury and the earliest date for an OR engineer visit at the time was 13/1.

Not exactly sure what the engineer is going to do as I already have a valid faceplate and VDSL modem.
