We got a letter through the door yesterday from UKPN - There is going to be a planned power outage on Monday 26th while they connect up the power for the new estate. I assume that means after that date there will be a live LV/HW power cable running past the cabinet - so hopefully it's just a case of connecting it up after that...

I got that too, but I suspect that's more to do with the second phase of the Kingley Gate.
They had started to re-dig the pavement along New Courtwick Lane so I thought they maybe had a problem with the original install, but today it looks like that they were not digging but resurfacing as the top 2" has come off and has been replaced.

Only time will tell.

Well my 3 monthly update from the council was not encouraging, they are getting stonewalled by the local OR rep and advised me to contact high level complaints.

Just checked now that I found a postcode for an address on the new estate....... FTTP @ 330mb available.

Not impressed.

Not impressed.

In my case quite I am impressed since it would appear the developer has liaised with BT, put its hand in its pocket, and ensured that they can market the development as having ultrafast broadband, or whatever is the word of the day for a 330Mbps service.

As for the continual delays you are experiencing, you have my sympathies. I'm in a similar position on a 2-3Km EO line (39dB attenuation) here in central London with no BDUK funding and little or no BT funded network rearrangements likely in the near future.

Neither am I, in particular as power to the new estate runs right past our cabinet. Obviously someone is playing games.

Better Connected has stopped sending me updates on the issue, so I assume they won't do anything.

Did you have any luck with High Level Complaints?

I'm tempted to try getting the local press involved, as a response to The Gazette's recent cut-and-paste success article about the roll-out in West Sussex. No power two years after the cabinet was installed is hardly a success, even by West Sussex's standards. Although I'm almost certain, it won't make any difference.

Never got a response from HLC - I might try again when I get back to the UK next week as it's been 6 months.

Good news! BT Checker now showing FTTC availability for 31 Mar 16

I just saw! I suspect they did get my emails and just didn't respond but I'll eat my words if we are not bumped again by 21st March.

Now showing 30 Sept 16
