I am just trying to gauge it so I can stop wasting time and checking the DSl checker and SamKnows in the silly hope that we will get it soon

Smaller exchanges are simply not worth upgrading to 21CN in terms of economic viability
Some have only a few hundred subscribers - that is less than are fed some single cabinets in a large urban exchange!
So what to do....
Well it is quite possible to supply broadband fibre to a fibre box from a quite different exchange from the one the voice phone lines are fed from.
So you could have a street cabinet where the incoming voice E-side multi core cable is from the local exchange as before while the fibre box alongside is fed from a quite different exchange - albeit probably though the same ducts as the E side voice cables.
That way the exchange area would not have 21CN/ADSL2+ but would go direct from ADSLmax to FTTC.
Under this scenario many smaller exchange would not be enabled for 21CN ever. But then many smaller rural exchanges have a more diverse/spread out population density. As we know ADSL2+ only benefits the closer properties to an exchange so for an exchange of say 300 subscribers you might end up with only 50 being able to benefit from ADSl2+ - you can see why its not viable.
This might be a cost effective way out of the problem.
So we then move to a position where we have 'master exchanges' fully 21CN'd which feed the broadband supply to a selection of surrounding local 'sub-exchanges' as they would then be called.
This is possible as broadband fibre supply does not detriorate in speed with distance so the cabinet can be any distance from the enabling exchange. (well technically I think fibre needs repeater stations every 100Km or so).
Maybe much longer term (think decades) we would see the closure of the smaller exchanges as the copper loop is discarded, and everything comes by fibre FTTP from a master mega exchange serving the entire local region feeding some 1000 local street cabinet/fibre boxes direct.
There is my ideas
Any comments welcome

BT were using a pen loaded with disappearing ink so a pencil is a step up but as has been said many exchanges don't have any dates for either ADSL2+ or fibre
