Ravenstruther near Lanark, Scotland - Postcode ML11 7TE
Weird when I check some of those properties it estimates 80meg and cabinet 2?

E.g. number 1 gives me 80 meg

Hence why I don't blindly copy the BT wholesale estimates when doing coverage percentages

e.g. ML11 8QE which is 2km away from posters postcode is given same predictions and cabinet 2 is at https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.6957413,-3.6902555...

The data given to Ofcom supports the cabinet being where it physically is, so answers on a postcard are...

1. Mistake
2. Maybe an infill cabinet about to appear - but this is not the usual pattern
3. BT Wholesale checker has broke itself again

Never seen the checker be THIS wrong before, kind of shocking. I didn't get chance to dig down physical location of cabinets, certainly interesting.

If BT Wholesale have it logged down as getting full fibre speeds, will it be categorised as being super fast when it really isn't?!

I've seen the checker be this wrong several times before. It was always full 80/20 for houses with nearest cabinets >4km away so clearly errors in the database.
