Is it possible to see what engineering work BTO are doing? They have pulled a second Fibre cable seemingly to my Cabinet (no2) from my exchange (Lyminge). Speeds appear reasonable already, and I'm curious to find out what's going on. I should have asked but was running late when I spotted them and stopping would have been difficult. Kicking myself now, all bruised!

More than likely they are extending the fibre network in your area, check here http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/

Thanks alegeek. I'm always hoping that they'll run a faster service or maybe even install cabinets closer. They are very sparse and distant in the sticks compared to in town. In town I can always see a cabinet nearby, sometimes more than one, in the sticks they are rarities you have to hunt for.

You can sometimes see details of what's going on on http://roadworks.org/
If you've already got FTTC, it's very unlikely that any work going on in the area will be to give you a faster speed. It'll be to get it to places that don't have it yet.

Thanks ejs, That would have been my take too but for the fact that one end is the Exchange, and the other is alongside my cabinet. It could well be that it will run on towards the next hamlet's exchange but I thought they were already connected to fibre. On a trip out yesterday saw two other BTO crews working feverishly with fibre, another below ground, and one seemingly above. Maybe its all hotting up, getting it out at a rate of knots?

A similar thing happened to 1 of the cabs in my village last year where they had to blow an extra cabel to increase the capacity after a rapid 100% take up of the existing lines.

Thanks tijara33, that seems logical, except that my understanding is that a lot of ports are still available and I haven't seen any general slowdowns recently, If anything speeds have increased. Hoping that it means faster but distance from the cabinet won't change and that's my limiting factor.
