I'll see what happens to connection speeds I get when I get Hub later this month and connection on 30th

Nice speeds, I've never been able to get much more than about 30Mbps over wifi on Sky's router. They really need to replace those things. 30th is a bit of a wait really.

Yes I know but there's little I can do - considering the years gone by waiting - an extra few days pales into insignificance

Any more info on cabinet 4? So many enabled cabinets around this one so can't understand why there's nothing happening with this one. Miss my speedy fast internet!

Just going back to my post previously, activation date I've got is 22nd June for upgrade from Sky Broadband to Fibre, seems in line with expectation

Missed your post - a week earlier than me, congrats - would be interested what speed they have predicted & what you actually get ?

Email says should support between 40-40Mb (nice range...) with Guaranteed Minimum Access of 36.1Mb. Didn't go with the Pro option which I think gives up to the 80 the cabinet can provide, not very technical so don't know the details of how it all works myself.

Was hoping to test it tonight after work but having issues with bootup on PC at home which may hinder things but will see how it goes and will post test if I manage to get on.

Thanks for that - hope you get hooked up later today.
I'm still frustrated at the delay for my upgrade till 30/6/15 - just doesn't make sense . When I gave BT the Mac Code from SKY I recall the operator saying that its for 30 June & that is the date SKY have set for me to migrate over too BT , she remarked that an earlier customer moving from SKY to BT was given 18th June.
Bendito you remarked in previous post that activation date for #9 cabinet was set for 30/6/15 & yet your getting hooked today, so clearly there appears no reason why I am experiencing such a long delay.
It may sound that I am moaning - honestly I'm not , I just can't understand the delay - I'm due to get delivery of BT Hub & TV Box on 26th or 29th June, so lets hope thats not delayed - thanks for listening

That sounds like an Openreach resourcing issue. The other person will have been in a different part of the UK to you.

Presume you are referring to manpower ? i.e Openreach employee going to FTTC cabinet and hooking up required phone line to Fibre ? but Bendito lives in area covered by #9 and yet is getting Fibre today, he is staying with Sky & getting Fibre sooner ? I'm moving from Sky too BT and having to wait a further week

That's right, that's what I'm referring to. It's the only reason I can think of for the delay. When a CP places an order the Openreach system will look for an appointment slot. Even if no one is going to your house you still need a half hour slot with an engineer for them to go to the cabinet.

Have they said if a home visit will be required?

Also, because you are moving providers you will require an engineer to visit the exchange in Irby too and swap you onto the BT equipment in there (for the voice side of things). Obviously that exchange visit has to be roughly coordinated with the cabinet visit, by a different engineer. All adds to the delay.
