I posted this on another forum on behalf of a friend but I wonder if Plusnet could shed some light on the matter.
My friend lives in Whiteley, Hampshire, and this area is notorious for strange broadband issues. For the past few years he has struggled on 1mb ADSL. Checking his address on the BT DSL portal shows FTTC available to the cabinet. We're unable to check with his landline number on the BT DSL portal (https://www.dslchecker.bt.com) as he's with TalkTalk.
He's fed up with TalkTalk for various reasons so put in a new FTTC order (using his current landline number) on the BT website. Initially it accepted the order but over the next few days BT cancelled it. BT apparently say he's not on the Whiteley exchange at all, but is in fact connected to Locks Heath. Why this would matter I'm not sure as the street cabinet is the important bit I'd have thought?
If we try and place an order on Sky.com they say FTTC isn't available at the address.
Can someone help us with this mess please? The postcode is PO15 7DF, the DSL checker results are below

Plusnet shows FTTC as being available but I wonder if a member of staff could check if it is actually available before my friend puts in yet another order with another provider only to find it rejected after a week!
Thanks
