You are right Batboy, I've worked off of that blighter.

edit ... Nope, just checked my network records jcn Station Rd/Winchfield Rd.

But I deffo have worked at the one Batboy pictured.

Don't you mean the Station Rd / Odiham Rd Junction ?

That's where the Openreach crib sheet places cab 6 Hartley Wintney.

I was referring to where you said "Station Rd/Winchfield Rd" Google Maps has that junction as "Station Rd / Odiham Rd" that's what I was referring to.

Many thanks everyone you've all been a great help and also exercised my tired old brain.

Apologies for questioning you PaulKirby but I'm sure you can understand why I thought that a Green Cabinet 8 or 9 doors away from my house with a big number 6 on it was in fact mine rather than another one a mile away. Heh ho back to the drawing board I suppose.

Now to Zarjaz and anyone else who can help. Does this mean I'm connected to Cabinet 6/1 before going onto the real Cabinet 6? If so what are the chances of 6/1 ever being "fibred" and made a stand alone?. Is there anywhere I can find out if there are future plans for this? Can any pressure be bought to bare on anyone to include this?

So near but so far........ oh and thanks to everyone again. Great place this TBB!

No worries, I even had to recheck at one point, but after my normal speed checks you can rule out stuff.

I hope you get it resolve soon.

It does happen. The village phone lines where I live, up to October last year, used to be connected via a local connection box through to cabinet (No.2) in the next village (about 3km away) and then onto the exchange (about another 4km). We now have a fibre cabinet (No.3) located adjacent to the original connection box in the village (where it connects to the 'main' fibre connection I couldn't tell you). As it is, if I'd remained on ADSL I'd still be plodding along at about 1.4mb/s.

As to getting it upgraded, It really does depend on how much money your local BDUK is prepared to spend on getting you 'real' superfast broadband, and their solutions. For instance, round these parts fixed wireless seems to be the norm for those hard to upgrade places. Indeed, even though we have a fibre cabinet, since it's been installed, a fair number (judging by the aerials that have gone up) have signed up for the wireless connection instead of going the fibre route.

Our local BDUK (onlincolnshire) has a forum where questions much like yours can be channelled through....and get some answers. Even if the answer is 'maybe in 10 years time'! Presumably your area has much the same sort of forum. It should at least have a contact number / email.

If they ever tell you a time frame, I found roadworks.org very handy for keeping up to date for when works were being carried out.

Good luck.

suggest you ask your developer to see if they want to fund it

The house is only new to me not just built. Originally in the 30's I think. Thanks anyway

In reply to a post by Zarjaz:

Yep, very, very occasionally the secondary will get a fibre twin, but then in all the cases I've seen this has been done by local schemes, and usually the 'old' SCP becomes a new stand alone cab, to save confusion in the ordering.

Thanks for clarification. I've emailed HampshireSuperfastBroadband asking them if SCP6/1 features in any future plans. I'll let you know if I get a response. Thanks again. John

Good luck, I am painfully aware of how pants ADSL service is out your way.
