It's just a prospectice date. As the silver lock is now on it, expect it to be accepting orders very soon.

Not sure what the bit about jumpers means. Presumably just niggles.

This has been discussed before. A jumper in this context means the wires to and from the copper cabinet and the fibre cabinet.

They would be "left in" if the line previously had FTTC and the line had been ceased. If a line has never had FTTC service it couldn't have left in jumpers as there were never any FTTC jumpers to leave in.

So does this mean that they would have to go in and fit them then? I thought that the physical work on the cabinet was done

When someone orders FTTC an engineer has to visit the cab to allocate the port to your line.

Thank you for your words of reassurance (and hope!)- fingers crossed Cab 3 starts taking orders in the coming week or two

I tried to order with Zen last night, I wasn't hopeful but thought it was worth a phone call, as I expected not possible just yet even though the wording on http://www.homeandwork.openreach.co.uk/when-can-i-ge... says

We�re performing our final quality and safety checks in your area. We�ll let service providers know that Superfast connections are available in your area. ]Call your service provider to see if you can place your fibre order now

Has anyone tried to order via BT? maybe, just maybe they have more up to date status on the cabinet and can put an order through.

I've waited so long that I'm happy for a little longer to go via my preferred ISP.

Now accepting orders.

If anyone else orders via Zen, at first they will say it's not available, ask them to check the tags on your line, then you'll be able to order.

I hope you are having better luck than I am with Plusnet, first order wasn't passed on to Openreach so a new order was placed with completion date of the 3/5/16 that came and went, apparently that was only a provisional date so now it's the 9/5/16. Let's see what happens tomorrow.....
