BT Openreach never cease to amaze me! The checker has been reverted back to In Scope from Connect stage!

Could it possibly part of network rearrangement to route your EO line through a cabinet?

I was also thinking this, the checker does sometimes have strange results before changes happen.

That is what it was supposed to be. It was like this when it was in connect stage.
Cabinet number: 5
Technology: �

But then switched back at this to In Scope again.

Cabinet number: -
Technology: Pending - EO Line

Obviously there has been no network rearrangement yet as I can see my connection has been on for 27 days without disruption. If they do rearrange the line to a new cabinet the connection will disconnect and that will be the indicator that they are working on reconnecting my line to a new cabinet.

I've checked the cabinet in Wentworth Street and that is Cabinet Number 7. That would've been the best location for me as it's only 73 meters from my property compared to 644 meters to Hanbury Street. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like I'll be connected to that cabinet as the initial cabinet number was shown as 5.

This leads me to believe that the new Cabinet 5 will be Hanbury Street which will start works from 22-26 October. But this work was meant to start between 20-24 of August and has been pushed at a later date which of-course will make me sceptical once again whether they'll delay the works even further.

If they do rearrange the line to a new cabinet the connection will disconnect and that will be the indicator that they are working on reconnecting my line to a new cabinet.

That's not the case. When our EO lines were routed through our new AIO cab there was no disruption or break whatsoever. The only break occurring when a user subsequently chose to move to FTTC

So the installation of the new DSLAM and PCP cabinet finishes tomorrow. How long does it typically take to appear live and ready for new connections?

Probably weeks at least.

Hey long time, I was going to post on this thread but was afraid to bump it as it was getting old.

I noticed the same thing. I kept a close eye on this roadworks link. Initially the roadwork was meant to happen in June. Apparently BT OR did not install the cabinet at all!!!

This was then subsequently extended to October from 22-26 which was expected to start. But it never happened. I knew it was never going to happen! BT OR did not start on any of their planned works. I sensed that this was going to happen from the day that this date was extended. Simply because the weather is getting cold now and these lazy BT engineers (good for nothing) decided to once again leave it without installing any new DSLAM cabinet. It even said "Delays Unlikely" "Planned work about to start" but obviously it never did, it remained that way even until last night. I was looking to see if it will change to "Work in progress" but it never did. They have no excuses why they extended it in June and now no explanation why it is not happening in October. Waiting 10 years for FTTC lmao.

Personally I do not think BT OR will install a new cabinet at all! We will most likely not get any FTTC and will probably have to wait for another decade for FTTP instead because they know they have to reconnect that Exchange Only Line to the new cabinet. This is a job, a job that requires getting out of the lazy mentality.

The roadwork has changed to "The item does not exist." last night when I checked past 12am. When you even look and search for Hanbury St, London E1, UK in the roadworks map there isn't even any green icon for any DSLAM cabinet in Hanbury Street or anywhere around the area for new DSLAM cabinet installation. So clearly it appears that BT Openreach have decided to abandon the project altogether. Unless they have plans for FTTP which is too difficult for me to believe when they can't even do the simpler DSLAM cabinet installation.

Contractors install the cabinets not the "lazy", "good for nothing" openreach engineers you refer to.

Maybe it would have been better if you had stayed afraid.

As witchunt just said, the erection of new cabinets is not done by BT engineers, but if and when one appears I doubt if you will be volunteering to do the engineers' lousy job in all weathers. Armchair sneering from you about people who don't make the decisions and you know nothing about?

This is a job, a job that requires getting out of the lazy mentality.

More utterly charming abuse?

I'm sure nearly all Openreach engineers would be more pleasant company than yourself, judging by a large number of your posts.

Agreed, BT subcontract the work out to different companies, and I take my hat off to them, especially the ones that worked on the chamber down the road to me when they enlarged it to the now standard version, I did post pictures back when they did it.

But I also saw and smelt the muck that was down there which stunk like hell.

As to the poster moaning, sure jobs get cancelled all the time, it took 4 tires / jobs over several months to enlarge that chamber.
It can be anything that could cause the delay / cancellation of a job, like a safety issue, workers being delayed on another job.
