In reply to a post by Icaras:

Came across a D-side of 2.3km last week. Speed was 4.5Mb on FTTC.

and people wonder why its get removbed -- !!!!! - I'm rather surprised its not been already - but I'm sure it will be !!!!

Plans change constantly especiailly in a BDUk area as its all about the overall coverage rather than the specific Boxes

those plans are shared by Openreach under NDA with service providers and that information is not to be downloaded on the public websites

As I originally posted, let's stop talking about it then.

The latest Better Broadband Suffolk Suffolk bulletin has cabinets 4 and 5 live as at 1 November but no plans for P1 before September 2017.

Of course the ISPs and Codelook can only have accurate date if the Openreach database is correct. I wish I had £1 for every time I have redirected an Openreach engineer from the cabinet that serves the public telephone box back to the cabinet a quarter of a mile away. 8 months after installation and two months after going "live" it still does not a have a post code reference.

I agree that it looks like a former exchange, given the vertically slatted blinds in the window.

But has PO Telephones or BT ever had a a wooden shed as a phone exchange, aside from possibly temporary ones or in very remote locations?

Given that security, both from human entry and from damage such as fire, all the small, very local exchanges I have encountered have generally been apparently robustly built; and as probable in this case, adopting local vernacular styles or very plain, stone-dashed finish.

Fencing?

I recollect one former exchange being included in "Homes under the Hammer.

Whilst making use of the Lat/Long from the Link, in Google Earth, leads to a field in the middle of south-west Wales, to the north of the A46 -
