Probably find its all complete and just needs someone to progress the cabinet to commission it. Probably go live all of a sudden when no Apparent work was done

Which is almost the exact opposite of how openreach normally work

Slightly mis-leading technically.

It appears generally to be an FTTC/VDSL cabinet by "joining the new fibre lines to the existing copper network".

The joining is by running pairs of copper links from & to the existing PCP (phone line distribution cabinet). The Fibre stops at the new cabinet.

Then depending on circumstances, some of the VDSL connections are completed within the FTTC cabinet, using Filter Links, only 48 out of the 288 maximum in the local FTTC.

Followed about 15 months later by another batch of 48 Filter Links.

Only about 70 to 75 of that 98 are fully connected and apparently fully working in approaching 34 months from when the FTTC "went live" ie "Released For Service".

Individual phone lines are connected to the FTTC cabinet via the "To/From" new Copper Links, after individual subscribers order VDSL from an ISP, who in turn place an order with B T-OR for the final connections to be made downstream in time.

If your FTTC etc follows rhhe pattern I have seen here

Not really, BT have in the past installed all the hardware + the fibre for it to sit for 5 years, ours took five years for BT to realise our hardware was in fact complete it then took a few letters and emails from my local MP and then a final email to the chairman's office at BT to get them to press the enable button.

So it does happen more than you think.

I've received an update from Fastershire:

Hi Ryan, we met with BT this afternoon and they expect the cabinet to go live within the next week. Apologies for the delay. Regards

Though, Roadworks shows some cable hanging, so i can't see how that's accurate? Is it likely?

Pretty much as Witchunt said.

That P2 cabinet covers HR2 0BS, HR2 0BW, HR2 9DH, HR2 9DQ, HR2 9DT, HR2 9DU, HR2 9DX, HR2 9DY, HR2 9EA.

60% of addresses on your HR2 9DH postcode are on EO and the other 40% on that PCP2.

There is some EO line FTTP for Wormbridge exchange as Andrew says. I can see some went live back in April 2016 (e.g. HR2 9DS) and some more in Dec 2016.

Did you try speaking to Fastershire about the specific plans for you?

I have done but the communication is quite poor, they haven't told me what technology will be used or what their plans are.

Presume it's just FTTC
