In reply to a post by Fastman2:

there are some as pert of London extension programme in Bermondsey but they 4/5 km from exchange

Imost EO lines will be short in no docks exchanges as exchange are tends to be quite defined (iwrth the odd exzception)

BT are also finishing off some of the partly installed commercial installs in the London area, our FTTP that was originally started back in Dec 2011 which was put on hold due to build issues, we think BT had forgotten about it but after a letter from my local MP and a nice email from me to the chairman's office at BT, it was finished off last month still as part of the commercial upgrade and not part of the LEP.

Sadly this was only for the lines on our phone pole.

There is however 3 cabinets on our exchange being upgraded to FTTC that is part of LEP, and one of those (I think) is an all in one cabinet for a block of EO Lines not far from our exchange.

How successful community funded projects have been in inner London?

Here in SW9 just down from the Oval we have a community funded AIO cab for our former 75+ 2km+ EO lines on the Vauxhall exchange (which is in Kennington). Cab placed just outside our development and all of us are able to get 80+Mbps down if wanted. My current max rate is reported as 103,477 Kbps and I'm one of the furthest from the cab.

So overall, a very successful exercise, quite expensive, but oh so much better than our previous slow lane ADSL connections.

Out of curiousity, how much did the community have to raise?

Interesting.

Did you have a single development with an existing residents' association or management company, or did you manage to build a community of diverse homes of different kind of ownership for the cause?

In our case, we would need to build the community around mostly tenanted flats, council estates and terraced houses, who just happen to share the more or less same geographical location but not very much else.

As someone already asked, what was the ballpark cost of the project?

Did you have a single development with an existing residents' association or management company

It is a development of 75 freehold houses and leasehold flats dating from 1989-90. We collectively own the freehold with each property owner, both freehold and leasehold, owning one share in the company. All owners pay an annual service charge with that for the leaseholds naturally being more as it includes buildings insurance and has a reserve fund for external and communal areas decoration and carpeting. The network rearrangement and AIO cab was funded from the general site services reserve to which all 75 properties contribute.
