Well, there goes all my hopes.

Have you any idea why the upgrade to the cabinet may have been delayed from 2012? I've always assumed blocked ducts were the issue, but if they haven't even installed them then it couldn't have been the cause. Takeup certainly wont be the issue as there's over 500 connected premises with less than 8Mbps.

New duct is often required to bypass blocked or congested ducts.
Many cabinets have been put on hold for lengthy periods if actual civils are significant, presumably until BDUK coverage is at/near completion and they need to get delayed cabinets running.

Well, you were right. The expected happened.

It's back on...

Yeah, they appear to have re-listed it earlier today. Still not a good sign that they're uncertain though.

They've either completed it or delayed it for another year. I wonder which...

Hey! I've received a more detailed response from Openreach regarding out cabinet:

The project is still ongoing and we have estimated date of completion as End of November 2016, which is subject to change depending on the progress of the project.
The work is pending with Line Plant Approval/ Civils Team, and we are expecting the work to be completed by the End of November 2016.
