Yes I think thats correct, Cabinet 45 has been installed and is Copper, our developer is still on-site, there's approx. 300 house to be built on the latest phase I'm on.

Thought I'd give an update to this, I eventually got hold of the Programme Director at OpenReach who helped with this, he advised that Cabinet 82 will have additionally capacity by the end of December and that Cabinet 45 doesn't form part of their upgrade plans.

This then moved us onto a Community Fibre Partnership with BT, we engaged with OpenReach and got a quote of £6,700 to install Fibre to Cabinet 45. We had a total of 66 subscribers to the cause, 35 of those pledged a donation and applied for a BDUK voucher code to supplement the costs, we reached £19K for the installation, smashing the £6,700 target.

Over the last few weeks we moved into contract phase, however, BT had a look at our installation and due to the costs they deemed it commercially viable, as such they will pay all costs without our involvement. Cabinet 45 has now moved onto Design Phase on the OpenReach Superfast Checker!

As for the Developer, nothing... I dont know if they will engage with BT / OpenReach for further cabinets deployed or not? probably not.

If you want to learn about our process then feel free to give me a shout!

Cheers
