That's the problem - something isn't happening, and hasnt for many years now. That's why I'm trying to contact them, in an attempt to retrieve further information on the current situation and when they expect to finish work on my cabinet.

Well all I can see is that its currently estimated to go live end of September and that they are connecting up the cabinet.

But at the same time I can see that its down as phase 15b but with no date allocated to it, so maybe its down as the second rollout phase.

Ours was part of the first commercial phase 05b (2011 - 2012) and are now live, will be getting the FTTP installed this week (1st engineer visit) and 26th (second engineer visit), so just wait and see.

BT Wholesale still say "FTTC is currently not available on this cabinet due to following reasons:- Sorry it's taking us longer than planned to get your cabinet ready for service. Please bear with us."

Just checked Superfast South Yorkshire using a postcode on cabinet 8 and it said the following:

In reference to www.superfastsouthyorkshire.co.uk/sfsy/where?postcode=S10+3LZ+:

Superfast broadband status

Postcode S10 3LZ
First Phase Under Review

What does this mean?

Under Review

This means that plans for superfast broadband in this area are not yet confirmed. The project target is to secure solutions between now and the end of 2019. Areas under review are still very much part of the SFSY programme, although are under review due to the technical challenges and/or costs at this time. As technology advances costs reduce and it is anticipated that solutions will become available to these areas.

You may wish to consider exploring alternative options to purchase a service such as satellite, wireless or 3G/4G mobile solutions. There are a number of companies who provide such products and these can be found through a simple internet search; examples of such local suppliers can be found below:

Wireless: IDAQ, KAT communications, One2Call.net, ITS Technology Group, Bliss Internet Ltd

Satellite: Satellite Broadband Guide

3G/4G: Mobile Wi-Fi (Mi-Fi) Comparison Guide

Once again this is all that I can see.
