I undrstand some cabinets take longer to enable but shouldnt they have priority? have places like heswall still got cabinets without fibre?

Walk 200 yards down the road from heathbank and its an enabled area, just feel a bit hard done by when friends in irby say have'nt you got fibre yet! (cue violin)

Some of the delays are down to third parties e.g. waiting on permission to dig up a road, or delays getting suitable power connected, or once connected fails earthing tests.

All of the original cabinets in Heswall are enabled but don't forget that has been ongoing since 2011. There have also been 3 cabinets added for exchange only lines. I'm not sure if all three are enabled.

Feels like they have been saying Irby will get fibre since 2011? Oh well if there are delays let's hope they are resolved sometime soon? #thisyear

In reply to a post by Icaras:
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.


Maybe the problem here is actually OR and their complete lack of details, you cannot even ring them to ask what is going on. If they gave some indication of what, when and where any problems are at least we may understand.

It seems even some of the people on here who actually work within the industry are in the dark.

I still cannot get the bad taste out of my mouth when I think that OR have taken my money (one way or another) and then are pushing mine and other cabinets into the long grass because it may be a bit difficult or cost a bit extra to sort out, We all knew about the problems with the ducting in Whaley Lane, I'm sure OR knew before us and could have sorted it much more quickly than they did if they had too, with the monopoly that have been handed they should be pushed much harder to get this roll out completed.

Couldn't agree more, would be nice to have a time scale? If BT knew how many people would join fibre I'm sure they would speed the process up some how?
