Yes the same is true, and generally a DSLAM is a lot of empty racks, so they fit the same one, and only install line cards as neccessary

That being the case, the costs for smaller exchange areas to enjoy more up-to-date telecom services for each user, such as ADSL2, LLU, WBC, or whatever its called, shouldn't be higher than for larger exchanges.However, it seems that smaller exchanges don't provide better telecom services.

Same here in Powys and other counties! I wait for the enlightened to answer, alas they stay silent!

Yeah I picked up on that checker from another thread/sub forum - cant remember which, and asked there what "Targeted" was likely to mean in reality - to be told by someone that in his experience it seems to be around 6 months or so until service is available.

At least I have some hope with TalkTalk... more than I have from BTw.

It seems I will have a choice of resellers too, as both Vivaciti and ADSL24 are now both offering connection to the TT network without suffering the TT traffic management and the awful TT group "customer service experience", which I have recently endured whilst trying to sort out a home move for a friend who had a phone with TT and broadband with AOL - he is now going with BT for both as he is sick of the problems TalkTalk group put in his way.

Because the smaller exchanges are spread over a larger area, thus more fibre to link up to the new wholesale network.

Plus some small exchanges to provide smooth switch over are limited in space, and new building work may be required, or power supply limits require that to be upgraded. Many factors, which some poor soul in BT will be crunching through.

Sometimes I think some think that BT is trying to sabotage things, when reality is more like they are trying to not overspend

Really gutted now. "Targeting" maybe a promise of jam in the future, but suddenly TalkTalk have suddenly managed to come up jam next month for some locally to me.... with RFS dates for the 2 same exchanges that Btw are putting WBC into Either matching or beating BTw's RFS.

So here I was thinking that maybe we were getting a lift from a company that had spotted that the biggest exchange in the county is being ignored, instead once again we see the same pathetic game where providers scrap for the same turf while other areas are ignored, and end up paying over the odds for old tech services while being fed the vague promise of something better sometime

UK Broadband It really is a world class joke
