So the question is - when FTTC comes along (release date was 1/12/2011) and I go for it how much of that wiring gets replaced? and will it fix the dropped connection problem.

Also it's likely to fix the dropping connection as the connection will be running down fibre to your local green box as opposed to copper, and that coupled with
the replaced master socket and different exchange kit will most likely ensure the cause of the dropping connections is removed from your line.

Well that's a lot of help isn't it.
Do PN know which parts of Cheltenham have FTTC?

In the end, the only thing that matters is when *your* cabinet is due to be done (always assuming you are within range of VDSL on that cabinet). The best place to tell you this is the BT wholesale checker at http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome

Just because they are working on it now does not give an indication it will be ready any time soon. There is no list that you or plusnet can look at to say when individual cabinets will be ready as many things need to be done and delays / problems can be encountered. The only way is to check the BT line checker page.

Quote from: Peter If it is bigger than the old one, has vents in it and is close to an existing smaller green cabinet then its a new FTTC cabinet.
It meets all those criteria

I have had a look to see if we have any more info on when your line will be FTTC ready but at the moment we don't i'm afraid.
These things are regularly updated and will be worth checking again in the new year.
Thanks,
SJ
