![]() I noticed a few weeks ago that a new FTTC cabinet had appeared next to an old BT cabinet on the main road about 1km from home. [ Alas this is on a different exchange from my line at home, although it feeds the next road ]. Plugging phone numbers I know are fed from this cabinet into the Infinity checker tells me that there are no plans to rollout Infinity to that area in the next 6 months. But BT's map shows that the exchange (LNENF) is ready for orders (IIRC it was one of the exchanges in the first phase). Is this just BT's database being out of date, or is there a huge time gap between installing an FTTC cabinet and it being ready for action ? |

They have to lay fibre from the exchange to the new cabinet, wire back from the old one, obtain a power supply (slow) and then connect it all up and test it. Yep it takes months. |

And that's where they install the correct number of MUX (apparently they have to be able to offer the product to 80% of the exchange users) |
