Need to check my wall sockets, how can you tell if there nte5?
Cheers

It is important that you do not alter the main BT socket into house as this is BT's property, in my case the BT HH5 is connected to extension , as I say you can make socket upgrade to extension sockets - but make sure you are comfortable doing it - Google search - check number of posts/vids so that your sure all advice is on same page - you may not need to alter anything here is BT's socket checker page LINK

Wasn't gonna start messing with wall socket, but I do know there was a second wall socket installed in the house after 1999 by a bt engineer, probably 2003-2004. Do you think it would of been a nte5 socket?

Click the LINK in my last post that will show different BT sockets so that you can check what you have

I'm also anticipating that not only will P3 be last, it will be delayed into 2016.

Hi Irby,

I noticed that the Fibre multicast availability dates have now been removed from the DSL checker using a postcode lookup, as the 30th June has now passed.

I then contacted NGA enquiries who tell me to check back in January 2016, so it looks again that Openreach have missed the deadline again, and have simply moved the targets again.

I did see some contractors working with possibly a desilting machine yesterday between Glenwood drive, and Thingwall road near to the fields where there is a small mini roundabout)

I'm with you desperately waiting for Cabinet 3.

The speed in this part of irby is really poor 5-6mb, I wish bt/openreach would just finish the job they started years ago! Doesn't it make sense to finish off this area before starting another part of wirral?.

Seven more cabnets to enable then they can move on to another area can't for the life of me understand? Aaahhhh #pullhairout

The irony isn't lost on me that the part of Irby with most to gain from FTTC is also the last to benefit. The parts of Irby that were already getting 20+mbps were the first. I don't suppose some exec in Openreach decided on that on purpose, the further you go from the exchange, the more likely problems will be uncovered in silted ducts etc.

Still feels that I'm being victimised over the hassle we gave them the last time around At least Tom (Saidin) got enabled very early, I think his was the first cabinet to be upgraded, well over a year ago

All in all, it's a lottery, I really cannot be arsed writing to a new MP and getting her acquainted with the problem, again.

I really wish I could get a bit more information for you. We are just told it's a clever algorithm which feeds in information about levels of interest from all CPs with customers on that cabinet, active ADSL customers on the cabinet, demographics, and much more-and decided which cabinets to do and in which order. Obviously when they hit things like blocked ducts those algorithms go out the window.

Cabinet 12 is a perfect example, there's no reason this shouldn't be live. It's on the route of the fibre to the aggregation node, and has got to be close to a Scottish Power hookup, but for some reason it's a low priority and there's stacks of other cabinets across the North West that must be done first.

Totally understand but what can we do?

Maybe with a new mp they could approach this from a different angle, maybe I'm just clutching at straws?

It can't hurt. There's no reason why they can't move certain cabinets up the list based on public opinion so an MP might be a good place to start.
