Perhaps you have something useful to add to this thread, instead of the poor attempts at mockery?

I can definitely understand his frustration too but there are cabinets with far longer lines from them than cabinet 8! I've mentioned some in my previous posts. If you're saying OR should prioritise people who have slow speeds then those people should come before IRB PCP8!

Totally agree, wish BT would just get on with it and finish the job, surely they must look and see 3 more cabinets in irby and think we might aswell enable these before moving on!?

No attempt at mockery here but perhaps a touch of realism.

I well understand your frustration however you need to remember that there are many users who are in a far worse position than yourself. Whilst I appreciate that you are primarily interested in seeing your connection improve, and why not I would undoubtedly do the same if BT had said they were going to install FTTC and then did nothing, spare a thought for those living in areas where BT has nothing planned and for whom BDUK funding is something that others enjoy. Examples include those in the larger cities where there is currently no BDUK funding and on low capacity cabs or long EO lines..

I know all this, I can't do anything about the rest of the country.

You're not helping.

I wasn't actually talking about my cabinet, It would seem fairer if they prioritised the outlying cabinets first so Daves cabinet would have been one of them.

They should also ensure every cabinet on the exchange is done before moving on it doesn't seem right that some people get much better service for the same money, not if it drags on for months/years.

It isn't an outlying cabinet though.

I don't agree that all cabinets should be done before moving on. They are simultaneously enabling cabinets across a whole area not just town by town. Some cabinets will take a lot longer to enable than others.

No he isn't the furthest away but he would have been done by now if they had started from the edge and worked their way back, I can understand there might be the odd delay while they sort out power etc but really.

I understand why BT will choose certain exchanges over others, start with some of the biggest etc, etc. and I'm sure OR have enough staff to do more than one exchange at a time but they should ensure that all cabinets are up and running on each exchange they choose before heading off and kicking any that might be a little more difficult into the long grass.

Interesting idea that would have probably meant that no-one in Conwy was destined to get superfast broadband from the Superfast Cymru project, since still lots of smaller cabinets in the south of Wales.

Exchange areas are not split into perfectly arranged cabinet areas, some areas have a higher density of cabinets that have a smaller number of premises which immediately equals a higher cost per premise passed.

Off the top of my head cannot think of an English city where every cab is enabled, but plenty of smaller areas where that is the case.

That's just no realistic. It's so much more complicated than that, additionally the cabinets are usually not connected to the local exchange. So a cabinet that you might think would be an outlying one actually isn't. The demand for cabinet 8 won't be very high, it's bound to be low priority as the speeds there will already be pretty good.

There's so many things to be taken into account when they decide which cabinets to upgrade and when.
