Cabinet Full - How long a wait?

As the title suggests, a friend of mine is looking to order Fibre but their cab is showing full and awaiting capacity. How long do these things usually take?
And is there anyone on here "in the know" who might be able to give me any info on this? If so I can post Exchange and Cab details.
Thanks in advance

It's a large Huawei cab so maybe they've already put in a new line card.

EDIT: Just noticed the Availability date is Aug 15, is this when the extra capacity is supposedly being added?

The cabinet looks like it became completely full towards the end of April. OR originally quoted 20 May, then 17 June and now 10 Aug. The latest date should be more accurate as OR have said they aim to clear all existing/delayed cab capacity problems by Sep.
I guess uptake is high in the area as OR put in an ECI 256 cabinet and the number of homes passed is 456.

Out of curiosity can you see how many homes are passed by my cab (9) on the same exchange please? That's a small ECI but AFAIK it covers a lot of estates round here!

Th good thing also is that you will always remained connected to the cabinet. Even if you cease your service, you still remain connected at the cab and it's very simple for the service to be reactivated.

Oh also there's a middle and high school next to that cab, I'm not sure if they have their own leased line in however, or are using some kind of VDSL2 bonding... All I know is they have a massive wifi antenna that covers half the town haha

I would imagine the school has some kind of leased line.

It's probably better to be in an area covered by BT's own commercial deployment as these areas will most likely get the next broadband technology first - someone will have to part fund the BDUK areas.
