Took a walk past the cabinet with the dog this morning - no sign of anything new.

I've got two days off work next week so might take a walk down into the village to see if anything is going on either at the exchange or the other cabinet, hopefully if someone is around from openreach/a contractor I'll get some info from them.

So no new fibre cabinet?

Well most BTOR engineers or sub contractor only know about their current job and most of the time have no info about other jobs, however you may be lucky and they may of been given both jobs.

I remember asking one that was working on a phone line on one of our side roads, and when I asked them about the FTTP install they both pointed to the manifold in the chamber/pit and up the pole, and seemed shocked when I said that no fibre has been blown yet.

However like I said you may be lucky.

Yeah just the same old rusty one

The reason I think they may know something is both jobs appeared at the same time so a good chance they would be working on both sites.

Drove past the other cab (PCP2) on the way home from work as had to do a detour anyway (honest!), they have the Fibre twin installed, no one was around to quiz though, looked very recent as had cables still sticking up out of the verge.

Still no sign of ours though, although some digging appeared to have taken place just in front of the existing cab since I walked past it at the weekend, hopefully something happens tomorrow or I'll be pestering Wilts council to ask what is happening.
