The EO cab is under discussion, have to wait until a decision is made.

In reply to a post by ccxo:

Great Shefford had FTTC live already so you may be able to get faster broadband, the Gigaclear phase 2 is to cover the areas missed by phase 1- so low populated areas will be covered as they will extend coverage to 99%.

Thanks for the reply. Are you sure FTTC has been rolled out in our area? Max transfer speed on offer by BT was 7mbps. Surely if the exchange is fibre enabled I could get speeds into the 20's?

OK thanks for checking

3 cabinets on the Great Shefford exchange had FTTC deployed, 1/3 and 601, what does the BT wholesale adsl checker say for your telephone line, use address if the phone number is non bt.

Your are either on cabinet 2 or a exchange only line,

So just checked the site and I'm on cabinet 2. Damn!

What does that mean for me? Do I have to wait until phase 2 is rolled out by Gigaclear, or is there a way I can access another cabinet?

I'm aware The latter is probably not an option but I don't know the distances between cabinets.

Thanks,

You have to wait for Gigaclear to deploy their FTTP network, moving to another cabinet is unlikely and would be very expensive.

Will likely see more details by January/February for the Gigaclear deployment in Great Shefford.

I'm beginning to despair for my Wargrave Cabinet 6 (Scarletts Lane - currently seeing approx 9Mbps d/l). I think it was scheduled but then postponed for some reason. Does anyone have anything more specific than the generic "2015-2017" indicated timeline? TIA.

P6 is not part of the phase 1 BDUK project, only cabinets 4 and 5 where enabled on the Wargrave exchange.

Cabinets 7 and 9 where part of the project but where postponed.

At current their is nothing further announced for the area by the project.

Thanks for that. Looks like I might have to move house then. Where's Theresa May when you need her?

No gas, no mains sewage and no superfast broadband - and it's barely even semi-rural here. I suppose it will come eventually�but possibly not in my diminishing lifetime.
