Just wondering if BTW have set out a timetable for getting FTTC to all green boxes.
Edit: Don't worry, found more details in the FAQ

Quote from: Be3G will BT make the fibre available to LLU companies too or will they be restricted to the old copper?
Not sure if this answers the question, but it's posted on the supplied link 'The new technology will offer "up to" 40Mbit/s downstream, and access will be also available via BT's DSL competitors.'

As far as the trial is concerned at the moment, some of the cabinets at the 2 trial exchanges have been enabled and the first batch of test lines are going through. So long as that goes fine we're expecting to put our first few triallists through towards the end of this month (we'll contact them nearer the time to arrange suitable dates).
Moving on, so long as everything is fine we'll likely add more triallists on these 2 exchanges in August then others as the exchanges and cabinets get done but we can't give any more timescales at the moment.

I mean even in PN tower - you must have a major junction box which is fed by a duct from the local cabinet or even a main cable that was installed all the way back to the exchange.
Of course many older developments / over head cables need much more work.

Even if BT only install the FO cable into the house, it is an awful waste of FO capacity to run only one line down it.
It simply doesn't make economic sense.
Not to mention all of us that don't live on "new" estates with underground cables to the house and use overhead lines from telephone poles.
With the present idea, there is only a need for one fibre to copper "multiplexer" to split the fibre into as many copper lines as the cabinet can support. Usually, the cabinets are only a few hundred yards (metres) at most from the properties they serve.

is different from this list: -
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/09/bt_upgrade_schedule/.
The reason I am wondering is because my exchange (Upton Park) is on the first list, but not the latter.
