The quickest cab i have seen could do 138MPH.

Mine took 2 weeks after the cabinet was first installed. But my parents cabinet was 6 weeks later (because of fibre blow blocked problem)

that's not quite correct either -- anything registersed post February 2016 with openreach and subject to some size peramaters should have some form of fibre broadband

if site was pre that date could still get left with voice only -- depending what the developer requested / not requested

The estate I'm buying on still has sub 2meg speeds. It's in the plans for BDUK upgrade however.


The house I'm buying is only being included because it's on a cabinet that was ear marked for upgrade last year.

The clueless BDUK folks tell me that I won't get FTTC as the postcode didn't exist when they done the market review and seem to think connections in cabinets are split into postcode areas so there'll be no "space" according to them, for FTTC on the new postcode. I of course, know that to not be the case as so long as my line to be is connected to an upgraded cabinet and is within line length limitations, the FTTC will be available

In reply to a post by Fastman2:

don't think your information is quite correct -- I think it was enabled as part of the BDUK government programme and the housing estate are just lucky that the cab was enabled by part of the Government project

Yeah, heard about all of that - I was just watching the cabinet's progress at is happened, that's all. I knew it was probably initially going to be down for "No fibre because of business", and that's indeed what happened. I've just looked on codelook and seen that it's listed as going live as part of BDUK phase 10a, like one other cabinet off the exchange, which serves a small village about 2/3 miles away. That also is an ECI cabinet.

Strange, all of the other BDUK and superfast extension programme-enabled cabinets (and two FTTrN nodes) are Huawei. I can see that those two mentioned above went live in 2013, but PCP 7's fibre twin almost certainly got installed in 2012, along with several other commercial-rollout cabinets, I think with PCPs 1 and 15. They did the first 6 here in sets of three, a couple of months apart, the others are all listed as "Phase 08a" (like mine, PCP3). The massively delayed cabinet I was talking about was PCP5's twin, it's now down as being "phase 16a", and labelled "FTTC being Connected, live due by May 2016", but was originally set to go live in 2012. It's an ECI cabinet which has been there for... er, ages.
