FTTC conundrum

It's all very well FTTC-readying exchanges, but how can I know or find out that my nearest boxes are ready?

My exchange (LNBAR) should be finished soon, but the local green BT boxes seem undisturbed.

Do ISPs have any inside info?

My exchange (LNBAR) should be finished soon, but the local green BT boxes seem undisturbed.

there were/are some paint markings on pavements around barnet saying 'bt fttc'.
no planning applications, as yet, for ones in the conservation areas either.
barnet is currently listed with a service date of september.

September?

LNBAR was in the first tranche of exchanges to be done (officially either phase 1/2 or 2/3) and Samknows has an enablement date of April; which coincides with the phase it was in.

Where did you get the info from about September?

Thanks

BARNET 30th September 2010
however, there is a 3 month granularity (so july/aug/ sept)
just hope its sooner.

Thanks for the link, disappointing as the info is...

I cannot keep my eyes of the cabinets ATM just in case the Openreach pixies have started working.

Our checker will show if fttc is available on a given line without having to go via an ordering link

Took me an age to find it too.

It is a little hidden but if you go to ADSL you will find it on the page itself...

We also have a more complete version on http://www.falconnet.co.uk/site/adslchecker.php which shows other providers.

Will be updating this more soon and with more details

Hi,

The more complete version says "There are currently no plans for BT's Fibre to the Cabinet products to be enabled on your exchange" which is totally untrue.
