Nope, I'm stuck.

When you say "unbundled", that normally means you now have an LLU provider. Do you mean FTTC enabled?

Re the Market Class, its provisional regrade is to Market A.

The exchange is now FTTC enabled and cabinet is in place Small village so just one cab.
Up to last week the exchange was limited to BT only as a provider. Just ADSL derivatives.
It is now open to other providers. Some can see the VDSL capability some providers cannot
Sam knows had no update so I have made them aware and they are now acting to update their database accordingly.
Openreach "Where and when " still shows our status as "Coming soon" although BT wholesale gave me an estimated throughput of 81MBs.
Hope this clarifies things.

In reply to a post by stree:

That's an interesting estimate given the maximum is 80 wink

For FTTC BT Wholesale, Sky and TalkTalk each have to have a GEA link cable installed at the exchange.

BT Wholesale are normally first, meaning the majority of ISPs can order FTTC. Sky and TalkTalk can be a bit later. That may explain why some ISPs may not offer you FTTC yet.

Thanks for research: Currently no other providers seem aware of the VDSL status unless prompted to explore the situation. It is probably too early, although the whole game is supposedly super quick information it seems woefully slow to get these updates in place.
Re: the 81MBs as remarked on by Batboy.... I can only quote what the BT employee told me when see ing what speeds I might get. He thought it high but there are only 250 houses on this cabinet ( if they are all connected) and this is consists of many retirement homes and I suspect the uptake of FTTC will be minimal.
So the contention ratio is very favourable. Also, the lines to my house were all replaced and upgraded last year in preparation for vectoring. I have also taken advice from this site and others on optimising my house wiring thoroughly, so the high figure is not that improbable.

The reason for the improbability is that BT actually limit all FTTC connections to a max of 80Mb/s. The line may well be capable of doing more but BT will not allow it to sync above that maximum rate (at least not at the moment).
