Have PN got fibre in my area
Quote from: TORPC however as we already know that not all Cabinets are released to other ISP's as BT hogs some for themselves
By God I've seen some rubbish posted on these forums, but that really takes the biscuit!
Please post some verified evidence to support that assertion.
http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/ confirms that it is in my area & accepting orders
Pn website says
There are already BT customers on FTTC in my street
I was hoping that PN's website is out of date & can accept FTTC orders
Is that proof enough for you ?

Three possibilities (at least):
1. There's an error on the BT database. You are shown as being connected to the wrong cabinet number.
2. There's an error on the BT database. If the cabinet number is correct you need to do a BT Wholesale check by telephone number for someone on the same cabinet who has FTTC. Present that to Plusnet and they'll get the records corrected.
3. You are connected to a different cabinet to the neighbours who have FTTC. You can verify that by using the BT Wholesale check by telephone number.
If you seriously believe that BT are holding back FTTC availability to their own customers and have proof of such I recommend you post here: http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/fibre.html

That reports to exchange level only. If there is ONE cabinet accepting orders, all postcodes covered by the exchange will appear to be accepting orders. Try SP7 9QL. That's in a village outside of Shaftesbury which has FTTC in some areas. I went past the existing cabinet a couple of days ago - there's not even paint to show where the new cabinet will go yet! The address checker says 2015.

1. I am connected to the correct reported cabinet as I am on ADSL, the FTTC cabinet will have a different number to the ADSL cabinet
2. Of course I am on a different cabinet to those on FTTC as I am on the ADSL cabinet which is at least 100 yards closer than the FTTC cabinet
3. See 1
See screenshot
There are neighbours that are clearly on FTTC with BT
All I want to know & only PN can answer is
Is PN active in my nearest cabinet, & If not, is there any proposed dates as & when this could happen
By both phone & postcode / door number

Thank you for confirming that you are totally ignorant of how FTTC is implemented. Here's a simple schematic for how it is connected:
Exchange (POTS) <------> POTS cabinet <-------> Home
^
|
v
Exchange (fibre) <-----> FTTC cabinet
----- is copper (or aluminium), ----- is fibre
Note that for small exchanges the POTS and FTTC exchange may not be the same as the fibre is fed direct from a larger nearby exchange.
Just to nail it in to his head could anyone who has upgraded to FTTC confirm whether or not the cabinet number shown by the BT telephone number checker changed when they upgraded to FTTC.

Where have I stated I was not reading / going to read & understand the replies ?
& who are you to tell / advise I stop posting ?
I want an answer from PN in that they either have or have not got Fibre hooked up in my area
Only PN can answer that for goodness sake
2 yes 2 pages wasted for PN only answer (says it all really)
Edit:
At least TalkTalk is hooked up to supply fibre
