"BT have advised that no current planned date for WBC on 21CN exists"
However SamKnows seems to "know" more..
http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/STPRSTN
21CN WBC status: RFS date set : 30/03/2010
21CN PSTN switchover target: Q3 2009
So who is right? If Plusnet checker is correct, why has my exchange lost it's WBC RFS date? (it used to show the same data as SamKnows).

I suppose with BT being the only supplier, there is no competition, and thefore BT Wholesale are allowed to deliver a shit service for the same money that people in competitive areas pay for a good service..
Digitial Divide.... I suspect that's also why we lost our WBC dates, no competition, why bother spending money down there...

See also http://community.plus.net/21cn-exchange-availability/ (you need to look up your exchange code from the exchange checker before searching that list).

Quote from: mgillespie At least your VirtualPaths are green. Ours has been red for all of 2009 so far.
I've a mate who lives at Sutton Poyntz. He gets a solid 8192kbps connection but poor throughput so I know what you mean
The Warmwell exchange is actually in Owermoigne and is literally miles away from most of the population centres it serves so one ever so cynical reason for the lack of pressure on it's VPs is that people at places like Crossways can only get 512kbps (or less) connections. You just can't win

That WBC list only covers a small number of the countries exchanges. Has BT drastically cut back it's WBC plans, and not bothered telling anyone?

It contains 851 exchanges, 661 of which are already enabled. Also to note is that it only includes exchanges with planned dates up to 31/03/2010, previous information had dates well beyond that. I'm guessing that predicting dates too far ahead was proving to be too inaccurate.

If you look on Sam Knows the date that he shows was set by BT on 09/11/2008 - 21CN implementation hasn't gone that smoothly (I still wouldn't touch it with a barge pole given that I have a stable 8M line) so I'm not surprised that the dates for a lot of exchanges have been pushed back.

If your exchange date is now beyond next March it won't show in our list, as those dates are still subject to change.
Regards not telling people, this would be unrealistic given how many times dates have changed, and may still do, so the best we can do at the moment is update the exchange checker.
