That sounds like fixing the EO issues, if you can give us google map positions (i.e. no cabinets won't appear) then that will be great, as can then update our maps once things go live and we figure out which properties are going to be served by each.

Yeah, this is the now cabinet 2 http://goo.gl/akwiJe there is some BT dsl checker mismatches with cabinet 1's fibre cab and cabinet 2's.

I am unsure of cabinet 1's location I am assuming its located outside the exchange as it insn't far from cab 2 but cab 1's DSLAM is here http://goo.gl/ZyA34w

If you want I cant give you map positions for cabs that replace EO lines for Escrick exchange, Hemingbrough, Burn and Selby exchange and Skipwith's SCP conversion to a PCP cab?

They're not cabinets, they are pillars, Or Secondary Cross Connection points. The E stands for Exchange. IE, they are SCP's off of the exchange rather than a cabinet. Likely to have started life as a small 1 or 2 hundred pair verts fed by unpressurised cables.

In reply to a post by Computerman142:
I wonder what made BT start at E2 not E1 or 1?


They started at E0 which now appears to have been renamed EO.

Thanks, seems quite obvious now you know. I can see how E0 got converted to EO hence why you see no cabs well I haven't at least with E0 on them. This area must have an old telephone wiring system.

Can they be used for FTTC or are they still exchange-only?

Yes, the one is Selby Cabinet E1 in the one of the Google maps has FTTC, I think there converted into cabinets now and couple E cabs in the Hemingbrough area are getting new fibre cabs fitted currently.
