FTTC Northern Ireland

So far, BT have said they will be rolling out FTTC in Belfast. Driving though my local town, Enniskillen today I have spotted 3 new BT Cabs installed beside existing cabs. Me thinks that Enniskillen id close to getting FTTC.

I live close to L'Derry and can only get around 1mb. Woke up last saturday morning and saw KN Networks parked outside installing a new FTTC cab. They installed 2 in the village. BT havn't mentioned our exchange in their rollout so it looks like it is to do with the tender BT won a while a go. The KN guy said it'll be a few months until they bring the fibre out. Can't wait =)

AFAIK it is to do with the money that DETI has pumped into developing the local network. I can only get 1 meg as living outside Enniskillen but it doesnt look like a CAB is being installed locally

Hi our exchange area Crossmaglen is to get 6 new cabinets there are already 9 standard cabs in our area and as postcode checher is not live yet I dont know if our area is to get fttc.

I am on the Lisburn Exchange and ( according to the Samknows site ) FTTC will be available to the end user from April onwards. The Network Engineers installed a new green cabinet just along the road from here yesterday morning. I am with PlusNet so hope to be connected within weeks. Balmoral Exchange is the only other one mentioned as being active. Bangor is promised for later this year.

Is there info available around what areas are benefiting from the new FTTC cabs rollout in NI?

Here is a link to the postcode checker but its not live yet .

It would be good to see exactly what areas are getting the benefit of this investment.

No sign of the checker live this morning.
