hi, thanks for all the replys, sam knows site says 1st dec, but i got a link from another site stating end of september, im on the winsford exchange ( mrwin ), also regarding the service providers i will look into that when its available and will pick the best that suits my pocket, best priced provider is bt atm, with their new 300gb limit and 24.99 price, compared to some companys with a 60 gb limit and more expensive, bit of a no brainer atm but that might all change when its available.

oh here is a link posted by zen internet on the availability in my area phase 5b winsford

im also on winsford exchange and have been having my cabinet upgraded yeterday they put the bigger vdsl cabinet at the end of my road and they were wiring it up inside probably the fibre optics hopefully it sooner rather then later as i really need these speeds
by the way they started work on the 24 for my and have already installed the new box so they should be fully installed in about 2-3 weeks mate

well i just came onto my estate the way i wouldnt normally come, and voilla there is what looks to be an fttc cab 500 yards from my house in the opposite direction from where ive been watching them do work the work on what i think is my cab, so now comes the question which one am i connected to and how soon before i can get it, oooh its like waiting for christmas lol.

my cabinet is at the end of the industrial estate they put it in then taken it away again :/ i rang bt and they said that the cabinet that they recieved was the wrong one ? they said they expect the proper one to be fitted in the next week or so and it will be activated fairly quickly cause all the cables are already there, i also hope its there for christmas as my current contract ends in november so would like straight after it expires

which industrial estate road 1 by jb components, if so thats the one i thought i was connected to, but not sure now, there is an fttc cabinet already installed on bradbury road just past the school on the left, and there are road works signs up saying hte road will be closed for 2 days on the 28/10/10, which could be to put the power in.

im connected to the one at the end of middlewich road and the industrial estate sort of inbetween bt said the power cable are easy to run for my cabinet because of the power pylons in the area i suppose they just connect them to the power station next minsups and its done.

and ive just rang bt infinty themselves and they said that the exchange will not be enabled until 31 march ? but on the bt infinity website, bt wholesale, and sam knows they all say december plus a friend in hartford has just been contacted saying that it will be available to him on 1 november but his enablement date is the same as ours and when i brought this up
with bt they said that its not being enabled until the 31 march ? a bit strange and i think that bt dont know what there doing plus the have layed power cables today to the end of my road and just left it with no cabinet it dont understand fibre optic cables and power cables both there but no CABINET : | its stupid then there cabnets been installed but with no fibre optics or power to them.

well i would think it would be before then as the cabs are popping up all over winsford, i have now spotted 4 cabs installed up wharton end, and power is being layed to one near nat lane ind estate now which is the last thing to go in b4 the cab can be used, so bt would be stupid to hold off till march.

yeah i suppose the last two days ive seen about 2 or 3 openreach vans just doing nothing i see them sitting in brighton belle car park drinking coffee and reading newspapers today they dug up about 4 m away from current cab then just filled it back in again dont know whats happening with it all it just stupid really, plus have you heard about them putting another exchange in winsford there meant to be moving the current exchange further up the high street and building a new one where the brighton belle is now dont know if its true or just speculation, anyway ill keep you updated with whats happening up my end and when they finally do fit a cab :/
