As was said earlier, OfCom would get rather excited if Openreach were allocating ports on anything other than a first come, first served basis.
It is possible Sky themselves limit the number of ports on their exchange kit allocated to GEA. Or, (no idea if this could be so or not), the GEA link they have provisioned there was full up. In which case they shouldn't be accepting orders, but Openreach would detect the position.

Hope you enjoy all the BT throttling and usage allowances 
Given I've got no real (affordable) choice for my usage between Sky Fibre or BT Infinity - and I can't have Sky fibre, I'l taking the calculated risk. I've got 18month to regret it

GEA link is just some fibre, so should be able to take all data from all ports on an cabinet, so not the GEA link is full.
Now sky might have got their own backhaul filling up and wanted to delay install until an uplift to Gigabit or 10GigE was in place.

Other than conspiracy it makes no sense, as better to sell the ports to who asks first, as all providers are equal as far as they are concerned and more ports in use helps Openreach financials

OK. That leaves your backhaul thoughts, and my (similar) one about limiting how many fibre connections they allow on their DSLAM.

Simplest solution is often the best and that would be the Sky ordered so soon after cab went live that the order systems somewhere rejected it. Then an hour or two later the live orders started to be taken...

Which throttling and usage allowance would that be, Dave?
|
|
|
He must be on about p2p throttling
|

.... and isnt aware that Infinity 2 is "unlimited" so, in theory, there are no usage allowances
BT Infinity 2 - IP profile 77 / 20 - super fast!
Previously BE Unlimited - 21,000 Download 1,200 Upload but then moved house - 6,500 Down, 1Mb/s up - gutted!
Ex <n>ildram , been to SKY MAX - 15,225 Download

Plenty of former BE users have jumped to BT Infinity and they seem generally happy, and they are pretty particular about their broadband.
