It's a PDF and you'll need your exchange name as well.

The Scotland Superfast site has pretty good information - http://www.digitalscotland.org/whereandwhen
If you post your exchange/cabinet, we might be able to find some better info if it's due to be enabled soon.

Impressively quick (and positive ;)) result for my exchange/cabinet in Sheffield but still at variance with BTOR's checker - Scotland Superfast says I can get FTTC 'now' but BTOR say the cabinet is enabled but not 'ready'.
Accurately maintaining these databases must be either rocket science or considered to be too trivial to be worth wasting too much time and effort on.

The Superfast Openreach site checker is not good for accurate information though.

That looks to be just a different skin in front of the same back end as http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/

Quote from: jelv Post the exchange name and there's at least one user on here who might find an answer.
and lo and behold, here he is:
Quote from: AndyH If you post your exchange/cabinet, we might be able to find some better info if it's due to be enabled soon.
Post the information he's asked for (you can get your cabinet number from the top of http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome) and there's a good chance he'll find something for you.

On the face of it they certainly look similar, but they return different results !.
If I put my details (Purleigh in Essex) into DigitalScotland - When and Where, it ACCURATELY says -
[quote=DigitalScotland]Fibre not available
You are connected to Purleigh via an 'EO (Exchange Only) line'. This means your line is connected directly to the exchange. Faster broadband is not available to you yet.
Putting the same information into the recently revised Openreach - When and Where site, it INCORRECTLY says -
[quote=OpenReach]Superfast Fibre is in your area but we can't tell by your postcode/number if you can get it right now.

Quote from: AndyH It's a little bit out of date that information.

Thanks for posting that. I was having difficulty with the Openreach website.
Quote If you post your exchange/cabinet, we might be able to find some better info if it's due to be enabled soon.
Any chance you could find out some more info on Croftfoot, Cabinet 53?
Your link above shows that fibre is at the exchange but not at my cabinet yet.

Unfortunately, your cabinet isn't part of BT's commercial rollout or the current Digital Scotland rollout plans.
I would contact Digital Scotland to see if there's any plans for your cabinet in the next phased rollout. It does look like quite a large area is covered by that cabinet, so you might be able to get other local residents involved in putting pressure on Digital Scotland or BT.
