In reply to a post by simon194:

It think they might have changed it. VM are currently putting FTTP in Lewes where I work occasionally and there is on of the small cabinets just up the road from the office. There was a guy working inside it a couple of weeks ago and it definitely had what looked like a node in the cabinet on the left hand side.

The architecture discussed only applies to the HFC / hybrid networks. The all-fibre ones have a powered fibre cabinet that serves about 5,000 premises, with the rest of the network optical splitters. No powered nodes as such apart from that one virtual hub cabinet, all passive

hi CLOKent im in broadstairs thanet and they have just been doing my estate but for some reason they have missed my cul de sac but done all the others do you know why they would do that i did wonder if it was just to give the area a break from the works and they will come back another time
i just thought it was weird they left one cul de sac out
cheers hornet156

On some estates the odd cul de sac is private rather than being maintained by the council.

This is more common if it's block paved.

It may also have fallen outside of their accepted costs per premises.

They haven't missed just one road, they've only done a small part of the estate, there's may be just over half to do, and it is being done, just not yet.

Tee installed outside of mine a couple of months ago now (Westbrook). Loads of activity round a portacabin like building on All Saints Industrial Estate next to the railways track that was bare for years, now seems to be covered in loads of cabling or air con pipes etc, changes every day I pass it on my commute, so I take it this is the Margate hub site? Is this serving the whole of Thanet, seems a bit small? Did a quick land registry search, looks like it was sold to NTL back in 1996 so they must have planned a roll out back then!

Yes they did plan a roll out in the nineties, I used to live in Tivoli Rd, and they installed ducting there along with various other roads, but no service was ever delivered.

Any guesses on when the service is going live ready to take orders now we've got the cabs and tees in?

Hey,

Sorry I have been inactive - very busy at the moment.

We are looking at around the end of Sept, start of Oct to release the first 1500 homes around Tivoli Park Avenue up to King George V Avenue areas and an area in Birchington too. After that you can expect to wait 10 - 12 weeks after the T has been put in outside your house till the service goes live.

Out hub site is by Kandoos in the industrial estate there. At the moment it can hold up to 46000 homes but we will be upgrading this (I know it looks small) and hoping by the project close next year we will be able to hold over 100,000 homes in there.

hope this helps!!

Any chance it might be coming to central Broadstairs?

Yes, pretty much all Thanet, exceptions might be private roads.See the link below.
