Can anyone from BT/Plusnet confirm that us that live in the sticks aka Britford, Salisbury are getting a Fibre install?
I have seen the BT engineers just up the road installing a new Green Cabinet for Fibre but I cannot find any news on this on any websites.
Cheers

Have you checked here http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/ ? If you pop your number in, it should tell you whether or not there are any plans for Fibre (FTTC)

Thanks for your quick reply!
I have checked that link but all it says is..
WBC ADSL 2+ Up to 2 -- 1 to 3.5 Available
ADSL Max Up to 1.5 -- 1 to 2.5 Available
WBC Fixed Rate 1 -- -- Available
Fixed Rate 1 -- -- Available
So I am a little confused as to why they will be installing a FTTC Cabinet but there is no news about it?

When BT plan to do this, you should see this appear on the BT Availability Checker as linked above.

Thanks for your reply.
I am a little confused. You say there is no news to install a FTTC however at the top of the road right next to our Cabinet (54) there a is a large green box but still no news of Fiber been available.
Some news is better than no news & it is frustrated that no one is providing any details on the upgrade.
Cheers

You'll have to be patient. I live outside Fordingbridge & received fibre nearly 2 years ago. Our fibre cabs, as illustrated above by Andy H, were installed several months before we went live. The new cab then has to be connected to the existing cab & the "east side" connection panels have to be installed.
When you see the cable layers around then you'll be getting close as this seems to be one of the final actions before going "live".
However, it's well worth waiting for.

I have seen quite a few fibre guys over the past few weeks laying the fibre, but I also know that they are laying fibre to Downton so not sure if it was something to do with our cabinet (54).
I have a strong feeling though that it will become active quite soon... even if they aren't telling anyone of any plans. Newest update as of a few days ago the yellow electrical power sticker has been added. Fingers crossed someone this week will start getting everything in place and active. Tadge bored of these 200kbs download speeds also.

As I've mentioned previously, it's best to keep an eye on the BT Availability Checker as this is where any information we can give is taken from. I'm sorry that nothing has been updated as of yet.

If you phone your Council (Wiltshire Online), they should be able to give you some up-to-date info from Openreach http://www.wiltshireonline.org/index.php/contact-us

I'm still waiting for the correct install appointment - I chose 3 dates, but was given an appointment on the day after my first available date, and not one of the 3 dates given, so I'm just waiting for my ticket to be updated.
