I have BT Openreach coming around on 22/2/13 to do the Fibre install.
I just a text from Plusnet stating my service will be active by midnight 23/2/12
Now I was informed with the transition from Sky landline and Broadband to Plusnet Phone and Fibre BB there wouldn't be any downtime...or a maximum of 2 hours...is this the case or will I experience more downtime?

But is this generally the case with a transition with LLU to FTTC?

You will get about what you expect, about 2 hours down time unless something out of the ordinary happens then all bets are off.

However I was on Be LLU. 3.5 Km from exchange and got 7MBps on ADSL2+ Which was about right for the distance and my reported attenuation. I am now 280m +/- 50m from my fibre box (I found another one I thought I was 900m from it originally) and my estimated speed was 62Mbps down 20Mbps up. I actually get 73/73Mbps down and 17Mbps up. So I guess there is certainly hope, but I think it depends on where your FTTC cabinet is.

The big green one is around 0.25km walk or drive away and a smaller one probably 30-50m away from our house.

Go here https://www.btwholesale.com/pages/static/Community/Broadband_Community/Coverage/ADSL_Availibility_Ch... and check which cabinet you are on then look for numbers on the big green cabinets.
One issue to be aware of is if you are in a virgin cable area they also use green cabinets and it does make it harder to work out which ones are BT or not.

Your services will go active on the 22nd, it's an automated message you've received that states the day after, something we're currently looking at.
