Thanks for the reply,

It is this bit that i don't understand

Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology that
I think it means that your cabinet has been upgraded (hence your line) but your exchange is not accepting orders. Mine was saying that for a while.

My line says the same despite the fact that the exchange isnt enabled and tho work has been done on the CAB!

They obviously get confused between the RFS date of the CAB (30th June at present) and the line which they think you can get fibre without the CAB being ready! The also state that other people have got "up to 40 / 10 Mbps" which is difficult as neither the exchange nor the CAB is ready!!!!!

Idiots!

Another possibility is that your cabinets fibre is actually linking back to a different exchange

I think it could equally mean just that your current line is made of copper and is suitable to connecting to a fibre cab. Note the use of the words "currently supports"

as a pre-qualification system it tells you the estimated capability ahead of service being available - the postcode checker used to do the same. Quite handy to know what speed may be coming.
