I am wondering if anyone else (20CN) gets this when doing an exchange check:
Quote BROADBAND AVAILABILITY CHECKER
Telephone Number 01654xxxxxx on Exchange MACHYNLLETHFor all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage. Throughput/download speeds will be less than line rates and can be affected by a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises.
Available Products Downstream Line Rate(Mbps) Upstream Line Rate(Mbps) Downstream Range(Mbps) Availability Date Featured Products ADSL Max Up to 8 -- 7 to 8 Available WBC Fixed Rate 2 -- -- Available Fixed Rate 2 -- -- Available
The Stop Sale date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2012; the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 31-Mar-2014.
It's the last bit (emphasis mine) that confuses me. It looks like they're planning to withdraw 20CN but haven't decided on when they'll be implementing 21CN
SamKnows seems to have taken this as being the planned start date for 21CN rollout. - http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/WNMAC
Anybody know what is going on?

Datastream isn't relevant as Plusnet don't use it - IPstream will remain on 20CN and not all exchanges will move to 21CN
I suspect that the RFS date is a coincidence

Unless I am missing something, you appear to be confusing Datastream with 20CN?

It's on this checker - https://www.btwholesale.com/pages/static/Community/Broadband_Community/Coverage/ADSL_Availibility_Ch...
The +Net checker gives me the usual
Quote BT have advised that no current planned date for WBC on 21CN exists

That's probably correct Jameseh

but presumably this is because I am on 21CN
Quote The Stop Sale date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2012; the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 31-Oct-2013. The Stop Sale date for IPstream is from 31-Oct-2012; the Formal Retirement date for IPstream is from 31-Oct-2013.

It also tells me which cabinet I am connected to ~ something I never knew and was simply curious about
However I also get ref to IPstream finishing as per :-
The Stop Sale date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2012; the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 28-Feb-2014. The Stop Sale date for IPstream is from 31-Oct-2013; the Formal Retirement date for IPstream is from 28-Feb-2014.
So other than the LLU in the exchange does this mean that only 21CN will be available from 1st March 2014??? Or this also an indication that FTTC may yet arrive hereabouts by then???

Anyway, for me on 20CN, same output from the checker as OP (apart from the speeds - rubbish estimates anyway) and it does tell me which Cab which I knew anyway, no statements about IPStream, no RFS for WBC (21CN) or Fibre - just stuck on plain boring 20CN Market 1
