Anyone noticed a new fibre cabinet installed outside of the exchange? i thought that it might be for the local area but there is a new cabinet outside the First & Last for that...

So after watching for 3 days, there is nothing inside the cabinet yet except for a massive trunking full of cable coming from the base, and 2 engineers working isde it for 3 days, I wonder if it is the main cabinet for Exchange Only lines?

is anyone aware of EOL solutions for the copper distance? i heard that they could install a main cabinet at the exchange and install small booster nodes closer to premises, but not sure if the tech is there yet?

Pretty sure that is indeed for the EO lines. They are doing the same in Tenby. They are putting a PCP right outside the exchange building and then the Fibre cab is going across the road from there.

Thank Christ for that some movement at long last

Some may have missed the work going on after 5 pm today with some CE guys standing a Fibre cabinet outside the "First & Last" pub car park on London Road.

Im guessing this would be for Waterloo and Llanion. Given that this is literally across the road from the exchange I'm guessing this would be for those on EO lines in those areas

God i hope so, although its a fair distance from Llanion so not sure what speeds we can expect unless they have a plan of EO lines?

You'll probably find that they'll put another CAB up in Llanion. Cab 31 which serves Llanion is due to be fibre enabled at some point this year so I bet they'll put another for the EO lines up there at the same time.

Someone I know is trying to find out if PCP4 in Pembroke is likely to be upgraded. It would seem to be wholly domestic users on that one. No sing of any action yet.

It is on the Welsh plan - and maybe FTTP but plans have sometimes dropped to FTTC so depends on what actually gets built

Thanks. Id expect it to end up as FTTC, it seems to cover a decent sized residential are of the north of the town.

The really interesting one will be a friend In Waterston near Milford Haven, the village is 1.5 miles by road from PCP20 so I am wondering what (if anything) they will get - currently they struggle to keep 2 Mbps.
