Sorry to jump in on the thread, any idea when the fiber sub duct will be laid and fiber blown to THHRJ 7, as their was recent work to clear blockages and now THHRJ 2 is having its fiber twin installed this month, work has been slow on the exchange.

thanks

Sooner rather than later, which may seem vague but I wouldn't like to build up your hopes just yet.

Hello Ribble

Well it seems sooner

Work in that pit down my road finally got done, work on the main road also got done, and for the last two days BTOR has been down our road and lower side roads in their large cabling vans, and guess what is on the back, yep a drum of fibre tubing shown in the image below: Fibre Drum so not long now, was told that it should be complete over the next few days or even soon if down to a complaint, then a couple of days for database to update and a couple of weeks after that, so YAY Finally.

Thank

Paul

U are lucky to have FTTP rather than FTTC. But I can see not many isp's offer FTTP products.

Urm a few do, but probably won't see the 330Mbits (i.e. 300 Mbits) but more the Max FTTC speeds or maybe 100Mbits.

But we already decided on staying with BT as are several of our neighbours.

If we was to of been given FTTC we would of been a bit far from our cabinet to get the 80/20 (yeah I know 79.999Mbit/19.999Mbit) we are about 500m following the shorter of two possible routes, so we would of have to wait for G.IMP/Vectoring to get any real good speeds.

Also our British Rail at the bottom of our garden causes way too much static noise, is has been on many occasions dropped our ADSL2+ connection on a very foggy night.

But any fibre would of been better than what we currently have.

Well seems that BTOR was here again this morning, I missed them myself but a neighbour saw a couple of them this morning in the chambers/pits (including ours) installing the individual fibre strands into the wafers inside the Fibre DP's

Going by this I assume its not very long before it goes live and the database gets updated and we can then order FTTP

Its been a very long frustrating almost 4 years wait, but it seems that's the wait is almost over.

As per my PM good luck and spare a thought for the many other cabs on LNILC that are down for FTTP but have been abandoned/not started since 2011...

Thanks, I am hoping it has all gone well, or I might get fobbed off with yet another excuse.

By the way, I forgot to ask if you had Virgin Media in your area?

I think you do going by some of the postcodes for your cabinet, that was probably why you didn't get put down as part of the commercial rollout.

Also I wouldn't say they have been abandoned, but more put on hold, like I explained in the PM, I am sure BTOR will look at the 220 addresses on your PCP Cabinet along with most of the remaining ~15K addresses on the several remaining cabinets when they start the next rollout phase.

Nope, no Virgin for anyone on my cabinet. 10 year old estate with no Cable installed when built. We are 4km from the exchange so DSL is 3-5Mb at best. All the roads west of me have Virgin and FTTP. Sucks.

Yeah its the same with our cabinet, I gave up with Virgin Media, we was promised and reassured coverage every month that I phoned them, to then be told that we was never part of their plans to install in our are so now VM is everywhere in my borough apart from the area that our 2 cabinets cover.

That's twice now that VM have avoided our area like the plague, I think it might be down to us being in a conservation area.

Well we are about 3.5km from the exchange and our PCP cabinet is about 450m to 490m from us depending on two different routings and if we are lucky and no rain or wind we can get a speed of 5Mbps (~5.7Mbps sync) and when its windy or rains a lot we drop down to 1Mbps if that.

We are currently 5.5Mbps (6.488Mbps Sync) as of 10am this morning (14 day reset) possibly down to BTOR has been around our cabling and up our pole the last few weeks, we have only put up with the issues with the wind and rain due to FTTP only round the corner.

Like I said in the PM, try and get your local MP involved, you have nothing to loose.

Also the Ilford side of the A406 there has been a lot of fibre cables being installed and redundant BT cables being pulled up (not saying it for your area or anything), but I am seeing a couple of poles being erected and loads of X meters of fibre being placed down.

*** update ***
Just found your cabinet {LNILC}{P66}, one thing that I did notice in your area, which was the lack or phone poles, i.e. there is none, maybe that was a contributing fact as to why no fibre yet, which could result in getting FTTC in stead of the original FTTP.
