Cab went live in April

Codelook cabinet locations are not to be relied on

Does anyone know how to find a fttc cabinet, I have done some walking but still can't find it?
I am connected to Cabinet 5 on the croft exchange (NECOT)
Any help would be great
Thanks

not sure why the cabinet location is even of interest

you can either get a superfast service from or you cannot (if your cant there are only 3 reasons if you cannot reason 1 cab not enable,d reason 2 cab enabled but you out of distance so no vdsl speed reason 3 cab enable you in distance but no capactity (no vds speed)

Ahh interesting, either the SH2 is rubbish at choosing a different channels or its a dud, or its got lovely thick walls. Or th most likely they need extra APs

Until I get on site and have a look, I won't know. I haven't a clue whether there are wi-fi repeaters or hardwired access points.

The property is so large that only ethernet connected access points will be any use. It's spread over four floors, they're likely to be of reinforced concrete construction and the router may well be in the basement plant room (which is a fifth level).

I also suspect that the proximity to other properties means that there aren't any 2.4GHz channels which aren't completely congested.

Case 2 is wrong. It's not a matter of "yes or no" for vdsl. If you are close enough you'll get full 80/20 speed; then the further away you are, the slower the speed. Eventually, a mile or two out, the vdsl speed becomes lower than adsl speed. At that point you can claim "no point taking vdsl" (although I note BT have still been migrating adsl users to vdsl at the margins)

Tthe distance to the cabinet is very important, as the length of the line is the main factor that determines the speed you'll get.

Agreed.

Please do keep us (me) updated LOL

Case 2 is correct

VDSL is VDSL i never mentioned the speed (that determined by dsitance) and out of Distance there will be no speed on the checker (worse that ADSL)

if your out of distance no VDSL - Bearing my mind my day job i find it hilarious someone is trying to explain VDSL to me

So if you go past it to the left and zoom in it looks like a 7 to me, might need new glasses though.
I thought 5 was near the railway line ?.
