Cabinet 4 has now changed status.

Cabinet 18 (the new cabinet to solve EO line problems) is accepting orders.

Thanks to xboxasap for the tip off.

Map updated.

Got all excited seeing a BT van parked by cabinet 8 but it looks like they were only doing some tests. No sign of anything new being fitted. Not even a timescale given for the upgrade.

Hi, does anyone know why P12 hasn't been activated? All the other cabinets around it are. I don't know the exact date but Im guessing the new cabinet was installed 8 months. Just so frustrating waiting and waiting so if anyone has any pearls of wisdom Id love to hear them

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

Yes P12 for some hasn't been activated which is very odd ,TBH I'm not sure anyone can give a definitive answer, in my case the upper half of Whaley Lane is Accepting Orders towards the Exchange, and the bottom half is an Enabled Area, and I share your frustration.
OpenReach seem to working to a business plan rollout that Joe public cannot understand. One FTTC installed and accepting orders in less than a month - bet BDUK paid for that.
Guess we will have to wait & hope soon - poster 'Irby' is monitoring ADSL changes - I've tried my best thru our MP, if she doesn't get re-elected then its back to square one badgering the new MP .

Thanks for the reply, yes very frustrating, can only assume they are looking at it from a return on investment point of view and anticipated uptake from the cabinets they put live. I just assumed there was a logistical/physical problem that was causing the delay, even more frustrating if its just a case of waiting for someone up on high giving the nod to put it live.

Well, 1, 4 and 9 are also not activated in that area.

Cabinet 12 was physically installed on 13th July 2014. 'My' cabinet, P3 was installed 9th June 2014 and it's also still not enabled.

It will come, one day...

Yeah P12 is a strange one, especially as it's on the fibre run from Arrowebrook. The fibre goes right in front of the cabinet.

Makes me think it's more likely to be a power issue instead.

You can see various newer sections of ducting on Pensby Rd right the way through Thingwall and Pensby on the side of the pavement that the cabinets are on. This was done in 2011 when the fibre was brought from Arrowebrook to Heswall for FTTC at the time. Therefore they would have unblocked any blocked sections of that ducting that runs right in front of P12. This is what has me scratching my head and my reason for thinking it has to be another issue such as getting power to the cabinet.

Thanks again for your input, There's definitely no power to that cabinet at present so maybe that is the issue. Ah well, I will keep myself up to date with developments thanks to this great site and Irby's map. Cheers Dave.
