It's cabinet 65 and I might go for FTTP instead as it's available

FTTP on Demand 330 30 -- Available

Sorry it not available as Openreach had stopped this FTTPoD. Plus you need to win the lottery to afford this very very expensive From £0 to £3,000 for installation (depend on Band A to F) and that excluding VAT. Then a monthly charge of £200+ (excluding VAT) and a minimum term of 36 months contract.

The best way to get 2 x FTTC as a bonding together as it would be cheaper than FTTPoD.

I was just joking about the FTTP...would be nice though!

I am pretty certain these are my cabinets...

Just as a heads up on exceptions, there are a few hundred locations in Surrey where FTTC is slow and available to order, but the premises also have native FTTP available.

The low wide one is the PCP and should have a number on. The tall one is a Huawei 288.

From the OR Price List I linked to for him, the minimum FTTPoD installation charge to the CP is £1100 (+ VAT)

Looks more like the Huawei Max 288 on your site, RobertoS.

Oops! Thanks .

I must have had my eyes half shut. Even now I can hardly see the grilles apart from the small bottom left one, but completely missed the double doors! It still looks very narrow to me, as though the picture has had its width reduced.

So how do you know this?

Can we have a source please?

Do you know how many cabinets they do a day? I'm guessing it's a simple config change for each cabinet, or maybe they do them all in batches in one area.

BT reported 45,000 lines per day; I reckon that means between 600 and 1,000 cabinets per day.

However, upgrade of the cabinet does not necessarily mean the line profile changes immediately.

It was 24 days between my cabinet upgrade (visible as a 10 minute outage overnight on a BQM) and my line profile changing. Not once, either before the cab upgrade or afterwards, did my line hit any of the old thresholds that would trigger DLM, so the change in line profile was a surprise.

Thanks for the info.

I just had a 6-8 minute cabinet outage, first time in the 2 years I've had FTTC that the DSL link has gone down.

Odd that this happened at this time of day rather than overnight, as I'd assume for cabinet upgrades.

HG612 stats showed my line being perfectly stable before the outage, healthy and stable SNR, no errors etc. Maybe it was just an engineer fiddling around in the cabinet installing someone else's FTTC, will see soon I guess,

When it came back up, I'd lost 1mbit upload sync speed, no G.INP yet, I'll keep monitoring it and report back when/if it gets enabled on my line.
