In reply to a post by GeordieJamie:

Oh well I'm off on a 4 month RAF sponsored holiday soon, hopefully it might be upgraded by the time I get back in September.

Should have known it would have been a nightmare when even getting ADSL was a near five month battle

Well you only getting ADSL and cant even get ADSL2 or ADSL2+ so that sucks right there, as for having issues even getting ADSL I understand what your going through, we have the same battle with fibre here, been waiting since end of 2011 when the rollout started and then stopped in mid install.

But hopefully its all done for when you get back

Hi GeordieJamie,

Just an update, after a walk around looking for the cabinets for the Longmorn exchange. PCP 1 is outside the the exchange, just waiting to be connected.

PCP2 (Fogwatt) well fingers crossed, I hope that will be going on a concrete hard standing, just outside the village on the main road to Elgin. Workmen have been working there on behalf of BT Openreach.

The PCP3 (outside the Birnie Inn). Looks like it has power, marked up with is number,

Oh, and I have been on those long RAF sponsored holidays many times, now look back at them and think. Well with that in mind, GeordieJamie have a safe one.

Yeah all 3 PCP Cabinets are to cater for all the EO Lines, PCP Cabinet 3 has gone live, and I am assuming PCP Cabinets 1 and 2 to go live over the next few months.

As for fibre, the Longmorn Exchange is on the to-do list and is due to start the rollout from now to the end of the month (so it says) and it seems that they are currently upgrading Exchange Carron (NSCRR).

It seems that Exchanges Longmorn (NSLMN) and Clochan (NSCLO) will be rolled out around the same time, leaving Exchanges Speybay (NSSBY), Brodie (NSBDI) and Tomintoul (NSTTL) to start rollout from now to end of July.

Hope that helps.

Just an update, looks like Fogwatt village isn't getting a cabinet. PCP2 is being sited half a mile from PCP3, strange.

I was checking street works, and found this (Longmorn Pcp2v2) From Rashcrook Farm Along C2e To Opp 1 County Houses,Birnie,Elgin)

Means that, Fogwatt village will be some 800meters to 1500meters from the main exchange (PCP1), so pickup speeds will range from, 28mbps to 15mbps, if they have a good line stats.

I still can't work out how Openreach sites these cabinets. Other houses in Coleburn, Clarkmarras are going to miss out completely, in any pickup of speeds, as they will be to far away from any of the cabinets.

Not looking great for me then as i'm basically straight opposite the Village Hall on the other side of the A941. Its frustrating but i'm sure improved communication regarding progress, would improve BT's rep no end.

Look to your local BDUK for information as it is they who are the customer funding the project. BT tend not to provide information other than where they are carrying out upgrades as part of their commercial roll-out which isn't the case here.

Any further update on when the EO lines will be able to receive BT Infinity? I'd have a wander myself but i'm currently in Estonia till September

Hi,

Here is the state of play with our Exchange and Cabinets Locations.

PCP1 : Outside the Exchange is Live and taking orders.

PCP2 : Location, at the Juction of the A941 and Birnie turn off, Google Street View Location. It is not live and not taking orders.

PCP3 : Location just outside Birnie Pub, it is not live, and not taking orders.

I live just behind garage, so we should get around 25 Mbps to 28 Mbps, but it will depend on our line stats. I have checked my number and I am on PCP2, so I would take that you are also on this cabinet

If you need anymore information then PM me.

It begs the question which cabinet my line is connected too then, as I am basically just over the road from Fogwatt Hall. However according to the BT checker my cabinet isn't live yet. You would have thought i'd have been on the same cabinet as yourself.

Any further updates on the roll out.

I am in Troves which is connected to the same exchange, but not sure which cabinet. Anyone have any ideas of which cabinet serves Troves? When might we go live and what speeds might we get (I think we are 2.8Km from the current exchange)?
