WBC 21CN is BT�s answer to LLU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wholesale_Broadband_Con...

That gave me a nice chuckle. I gather you don't know what MadMan's job was until recently .

LOL

It was due for WBC on the day that I was due to retire, 31/3/2010 (as it was I retire 9 months earlier, coz BT paid me to go).
Half way through march 2010, it disappeared off Samknows. A few months later it reappeared for 31/1/2011.
Yep, you guessed it, half way through jan 2011, it disappeared again, never to return

That's not a small exchange (is it??). If it is, mine isn't even on the map!

My exchange isn't on the planned list for anything at the moment lol. Silly BT!

My local exchange supplies around 230 premises, the nearest large community's exchange which is about 25 miles away supplies around 670 premises.

The exchange and others in this area got ADSL Max status enabled on 31/03/2006 (according to SK)

I guess we won't be getting any further upgrades of any sort for quite a while if at all

My exchange (Kilmarnock) has 25,500 residential lines and nearly 1,000 business lines and we're not getting FTTC anytime soon!

I am in a city area and the same boat, both leics and nottingham not in plans at all.

yet little seaside towns and villages getting FTTC hahaha.

BT crumbled to the rural brigade and political pressure, awaiting a nice tax break soon I guess.

Hi, don�t be a spoilsport! It�s nicer for the engineers to work in the countryside and at the seaside in the summer.

good point

Warminster is getting FTTC
Salisbury not on list
Well that makes sense...

Are you another member of the official BT supporters club?.

Sounds like a few Exchanges In Pembrokeshire - all smaller than mine (10k lines) - which had WBC dates fixed then withdrawn... but today I gave up trying to understand how this broadband stupidity works...

Sky have unbundled a small exchange of 3200 lines, in a village that is half empty for half the year, and that is the only consumer level LLU here. Updata are in 6 exchanges... but thats the one we just get to pay for via taxation. no consumer level service there.

Montfort exchange Leicester
16,570 residential premises
1,726 non-residential premises

Leicester Central Exchange
16,454 residential premises
2,120 non-residential premises

Both missed from the FTTC roll out so far.

Narborough Exchange
10,142 residential premises
480 non-residential premises

Stoneygate Exchange
9,333 residential premises
386 non-residential premises


Kirby Muxloe
6,271 residential premises
157 non-residential premises.

All have FTTC being rolled out now.

Anyone who moans that they are being missed beause they arent in a "city" take a look at the East Midlands.

Obviously a "commercial" decision!
