Oh sorry! It says:

Exchange ST ALBANS is served by Cabinet 77

Thanks

It would say "waiting list" instead of "available" if BT Wholesale thought the cabinet was full.

So shall I ditch sky and go with bt?

Are you searching by phone number? Normally this is the best approach, but to check for waiting list try searching by address instead.

When my cabinet became full, search by phone number showed "available" but search by address showed "wait list". However that might be because VDSL was already active on my line.

Is BT letting you order it? If so then definitely worth placing a order with BT and see what happens - but be prepared for the possibility that the order may eventually fail with BT as well.

There is a problem with remaining ports in the cabinet which needs to be resolved. Cancelling and re-ordering wont make any difference

or there is a problem with cablelink from your chosen ISP - iy you pay all your money to an ISP and dont play your line rental seperately you are LLU's that means you are unbundled at the exchnager and on sperate rack on exchange - you need a link from your rack to the BT wholesale rack to enable the FTTC to work (that called cablelink and has a certain amount of capacity (if there is none or not enough or your provider needs to buy some more it will show as you can order ftttc (but you wont be able to fulfill it as the issue is not at the cab , its in the exchange between the BTW rack and your service provider unbundled kit) if you pay your line rental to BT still then the above is not relevant

As the OP says on the 1st post the order is delayed due to no available ports . There is a problem in the DSLAM cabinet

if they advised you to find another company that not because there are no spare ports in cab - ports are on a first come first serviced basis - and had there been no ports it woudl not allow you to order in the first place

it because there is an issue ordering from talktalk which will be to do with cablelink

I'm sure what you posted is not accurate. It does not matter if you are "full" or "partial LLU" anymore, even BT Retail for voice is seen as "LLU" by Openreach, now they are separate.

However if you paid voice to BT Retail and data to Sky (no longer offered) then Sky would STILL need a GEA cablelink between the Openreach FTTC termination, and the Sky rack. This is not affected by whom you pay voice to.
