My Exchange is Fibre enabled ( well nearly )

Morning Peeps
FINALLY
My exchange is fibre enabled...........
Well nearly.
Openreach were observed last night by my friend pulling in the fibre cable to our exchange and i am wondering how long from the exchange being wired for fibre can i expect PN to be taking orders for it.
I can imagine that the exchange will go live soon.

Re: My Exchange is Fibre enabled ( well nearly )

Was the fibre being connected to the actual exchange or to your green cabinet? If it's the latter then you should be within weeks of going live.

I wasn't informed by PN when my fibre became available nearly 2 years ago.

Have you got the marketing comms options turned off?  I've had fibre available communications from PN, though I cannot assert that was immediately upon availability.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

using the DSL checker I found this
the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2014.

Re: My Exchange is Fibre enabled ( well nearly )

a small update
so the new exchange is in ( nice new green box ) and i witnessed the old and new exchange being covered up and the Openreach guy working on it. Well his van was parked outside it.
so it looks like the infrastructure has been done but nothing yet. i have been keeping an eye on the 'When and Where' on the Openreach website and the status has changed for the worse.
It has become
'Exploring Solutions
We’re keen to bring Superfast Fibre to your area and are exploring how best to achieve that. We may deliver it as part of our commercial programme, or by working in partnership with your local authority. At the moment you can’t order Superfast Fibre. For more information visit the FAQ section.'
surely that would only come if they were having issues  running fibre or connecting it.
anyone shine a light on this.
