And you are on which cabinet on which exchange?

It may be that not many properties are served by your cabinet, thus cost per premise is higher, or it might simply be you are further than project timeline.

You do not simply splice into the main backbone fibre either, even if you could order Fibre on Demand they would still run a new bit of fibre from the nearest aggregation node, rather than splice into the one outside your door. One big reason being that Fibre on demand would be a GPON FTTP solution and needs the appropriate electronics at each end.

Im on cab 2 on the Twycross exchange.

Hi 8skellerns,
I was wondering if you could tell me how you contacted OpenReach?

Im on cab 2 on the Twycross exchange.

All I can see is the following 5 cabinets:

• Cabinet 1
  
  • Superfast broadband to become available in parts of this area from late 2016 onwards. Specific timescales to be determined
  
  
• Cabinet 2
  
  • Superfast broadband to become available in parts of this area from late 2016 onwards. Specific timescales to be determined
  
  
• Cabinet 3
  
  • Superfast broadband to become available in parts of this area from late 2016 onwards. Specific timescales to be determined
  
  
• Cabinet 4
  
  • Planning and survey work underway or happening soon. Superfast broadband expected in parts of this area from spring 2015
  • It seems that some areas on this cabinet has fibre already.
  
  
• Cabinet 5
  
  • Superfast broadband to become available in parts of this area from late 2016 onwards. Specific timescales to be determined
  
  
• Cabinet 6

That's all I could find, sorry.

It seems that Cabinet 6 will be for most if not all the EO Lines, this move hasn't yet been done.

Lol.. yes it seems to me to indicate, the need to keep being patient and continue using a crystal ball till FTTC is available in your area.

Saying that I wonder if there is some sort of pattern since I have seen a few posts now that go from "Coming soon" to 'UR' then its available to order.

Going onto "Under Review" doesn't mean your about to get fibre, you may be lucky and only be on UR for a few days to a couple of weeks or a Month, or you could be unlucky like some and be put on UR for indefinite.

We are down for FTTP and have been on UR since not long after BTOR setup the Where and when page, and I have also seen people get put on UR for a few days to a few weeks and then get fibre, so its still a waiting game.

Thanks for that! Cabinet 6 has been placed outside the exchange, and ducting provided to it from the huge chamber in the path where apparently all lines from that exchange go through. It was on roadworks.org that roadworks were to commence to install a 'NGA Cabinet' a week ago outside the exchange, yet that has vanished now, and no works happened.

What road was the cabinet down?
I am seeing over 100 (max limit) of BT work on my app, so a location would narrow it down.

Cab 6 and the Exchange are on Main Road, Twycross.
