Haven't gone back to previous posts, but going by your current post I am assuming you went from an EO line to cabinet 4, to then new cabinet 5.

We are still on the EO line, and the cabinet 4 is back at the exchange. Our new local AIO cabinet P5 isn't connected yet.

I know, I updated my reply before you replied

Did the Where and when page say you were on cabinet 4 or 5 for the address and phone number?

If you use the postcode and address, it's still showing cabinet number 4.

If you put the actual phone number, it's showing the new cabinet P5 - this previously stated 4 as above.

Just to confuse matters further, I'm not totally convinced the old cabinet 4 is correct either. CodeLook lists us as being on Exchange 7, Exchange 4 serves an area in the next village. There is also a FTTC cabinet P4 connected last year, but that's a couple of miles the other side of the exchange - so I'm pretty sure we have never been connected to that.

Just curious about all this really, I'm not too fussed so long as they get it connected up!


Also interested in the news that BT is going to transfer voice lines to VOIP, perhaps we will get rid of this long EO voice line after all.

Well the ducting is in, they were pretty smart digging up the road and there was little disruption.


I noticed something else on dslchecker.bt.com... when I punch in the number and get the predicted stats up, it also says

There is an open order on your line which is due to complete by 03-May-2018.

What's that all about?

A screen shot would help.

Exchange 7 and exchange 4 will be exchange only bundles

The transfer to VoIP will still use the copper between you and exchange or you and cabinet, but rather than existing phone systems it will be into an MSAN

i.e. those without broadband will not be needing broadband modems just to have a working phone

By the way, the ADSL speeds are pure fantasy.


That's interesting, something else has appeared overnight

There is currently a Broadband cease pending or in progress against this line. This cease is due to complete by 3rd May 2018. This will not stop you ordering Broadband from a new supplier, but it will delay the provision of the new Broadband service.

EDIT: Just checked some of the neighbours phone numbers, they all seem to have cease orders against them completing 3rd or 4th May.

Presumably the MSAN will go in the new AIO cabinet, now we have one?

That's got to be a good move for us, the EO voice lines are long and are in a poor state, there have been multiple problems in the areas over the last couple of years in particular. It's a pity they can't get on with it now.

Just looked at your image and yes I can see the message "There is an open order on your line which is due to complete by 03-May-2018." which would suggest you have an open order of some sort.

Also I would change that image to cover you phone number up, you can see the full number if you look correctly.

No need since the DSLAM that does VDSL2 can usually do voice if its made to

Won't this be in relationship to the transfer to the AIO cabinet?
