Some may do without even knowing.

We're adding the functionality but found a recent order placed went on the list even though not being submitted to do so. Normally they are rejected with a suitable message informing no capacity but this one was just held (and since committed - took 17 days for those interested).

If anyone knows which providers make use of the waiting list system its not me.

it seems like no ISP does

Zen told me:

Unfortunately we do not have that facility

is funny BT do a waiting list, whilst VM just add splitters and overload the cabinet

Is there any way to speed up the process of the waiting list?

Perhaps get the neighborhood together to sign a petition or call somewhere regularly to show urgency and increase awareness of the matter?

It doesn't matter, using a 75 threaded download speedtest you still get the full 200Mbps

Just signup for a service provider who supports the Waiting List process. Places become available fairly quickly for all the ones we have catered for, even if the checkers don't update statuses.

No... and a waiting list order only remains valid for a certain time which I believe is three months. After that time you have to place a new order and return to the back of the queue.

Plusnet, the provider I'm currently with, tell me I have to call them when the status changes on the BT DSLChecker... Doesn't sound like they support or have a process to have orders for FTTC waiting lists.

Are you wanting to upgrade from ADSL2+ to FTTC with Plusnet, and your cabinet is also full? Or are you waiting for your cabinet to be FTTC enabled, which is a different thing altogether?
