Hey everyone, i have recently been looking at roadworks.com because the village next to me has recently got fibre optic installed. I have been waiting ages for fibre optic and my current download speed is 1 megabit at the peak. A few days ago i saw this on my village from roadworks.com:

"Install 6m of 2 poly ducts in Footway,Provide, Renew or Recover 2 DSLAM street cabinet and base..." and "Install 4m of 1 way power duct in Footway,Install 8m of 1 way power duct in Carriageway,Performing a..." between 14-16 December.

Hopefully this means that i should be getting fibre optic. Can anyone confirm this? I am also currently on an EO line, will this make a difference?

Many thanks

It seems that they are still building/installing the fibre cabinet and its at stage 5 of 8, it does say 5 Months, but whether that is when it will be ready or is just an average place holder date I have no clue.

So i'm not on an EO line? Whenever i have gone on bt wholesale it only says i am connected to the Sinderby exchange and not cabinet 3. If i am connected to the cabinet that is great news! Thank you!

Well I only checked a few addresses on that list for that postcode.

*** update ***
Just checked all of them and seems that some are still down as EO Lines:
Field House
Manor
Manor House Cottage
K567238, PCO
Prospect Cottage
Prospect House
Thorville Cottage

I assume one of the above is yours then?

Well "Hill Top Cottage" isn't a valid address on the openreach where and when page, also it doesn't seem to have a NAD Key yet, so maybe it's a new line.

They would have to use their phone number.

Paul

No mine is Hill Top Cottage. When i checked it just said my exchange was Sinderby and didn't display any cabinet.

Yeah, your address hasn't got a NAD Key yet which is why it fails to show, which is why you see "Your address has been successfully matched; however we cannot determine ADSL availability at this address. Please try the Telephone Number or Postcode Checker.", your phone number should work.

So with your phone number you see the following:

Telephone Number 01845 xxxxxx on Exchange SINDERBY

If so then you are on an EO Line.

You might be lucky and get moved over to cabinet 3.

Paul

Yeah i'm afraid that's all it says. I guess i'm just unlucky. Hopefully they do something about it in the future but i'm guessing we are the minority of their problems right now and would probably take a long time to do. Thanks a lot the help!
