No evidence that its a cabinet for slower lines in an existing cabinet area, but might be for some exchange only lines or it might not even be an Openreach cabinet (e.g. Virgin Media or for mobile mast)

My money is on this being the fibre twin for cab 28

It'll only really happen if the current cabinet is full (no more E-sides from the exchange) and they've tried and failed to put new lines to it.

They'll then fit a link cable between the two lines. Your line will then go to the cabinet that matches your telephone pole and then go off on the link cable to the other cabinet that isn't full.

Yeah it is joined with cab 28. (just been and had a look). Actually the channel they dug runs past cab 28 and continues on a bit further.

There's also a sign with the Carillion Telnet - Openreach logo's on.

Its for Cabinet 28:

Location: (PCP28) SIDE OF 20, CHURCH LANE...
Description: Install 3m of 2 poly ducts in Footway,Provide, Renew or Recover 1 DSLAM street cabinet and base...

That is all the work I can see in that area.

The extra digging could be for the power.

Thanks Paul. Does it mean they've added the new cabinet for extra capacity, ready for the future? There aren't any new builds in the area. Sorry for sounding like a noob again

To me this seems a bit confusing.

How are you discovering that you are on PCP 12 please? Phone number, address or pure postcode into which checker?

What is "Sky Max" in your sig - is it LLU or via BT Wholesale?

It's to provide FTTC capability to those users connected to PCP 28 which currently does not support FTTC and is being funded as part of the BDUK South Yorkshire roll-out. It's scheduled to be ready for service in early 2017 although I expect those connected to PCP28 would like that to be earlier.

They have just installed a new fibre cabinet (i.e. DSLM) for PCP Cabinet 28 (i.e. phone cabinet) this work is listed for dates 13 Jul - 26 Jul.
And this Fibre Cabinet is estimated to go live November 2016 to Jan 2017 and that they are at the connecting stage of the install.

If you are connected to PCP Cabinet 12 then then I am sorry to say this isn't for you, this is for lines connected to PCP 28.

It's right next to PCP 28, give or take a metre or two.

Hi Paul. I started confused, but in my reply to the OP became more confused .

I've taken out a chunk of my reply to him. What I'm basically wondering is if he is using the postcode option in in the standard BT Wholesale checker, and getting the wrong answer from it because there are multiple cabinets providing partial coverage of it.

That's also why I ask what "Sky Max" is. If he is on Sky Connect then his phone number will probably work, if on LLU then of course he needs to use the address option. (As I know you know, but he may not).
