I don't have FTTC in my area yet we're on BDUK roll out plans for this month and just seen that the new cab has gone up next to the current one that im connected to which happened over the weekend it comes complete with a giant square of shiny new tarmac in front of it, i'm just curious typically how long is it from seeing green cab to live date is it i realise it will vary from cab to cab but i cant seem to find anywhere that details what each step is for the network build entails.
Any info would be great also sorry if this is in the wrong forum

In my experience, OR are usually contracted to a specific date to allow us to start accepting orders. As a result of this, it's usually irrelevant when the cab goes up.
Though in S10 (where I lived a couple of years ago) I saw the cab pop up about six months beforehand. I really wouldn't treat this as a form of timescale either way.

Looks like i'll have to cross my fingers since were such a small area 😕
I was actually surprised to see the green box so close to the roll out start date

My parents cabinet appeared a couple of months after mine, but went live about a month earlier. Most days I checked a load of different phone numbers to see if they could get fibre. It was quite interesting watching them popup at different times.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

However I can't see any green cabinets anywhere in our village, or between our village and the exchange, which is about a mile or so away...
Should they be visible ?
Cheers

What does it say at the top about which cab you are served from
That is the one you need to find as the FTTC cab - when they put one in - should be next to it
In my case it was well and truly hidden in the undergrowth and bushes

There's no date showing at the moment I'm afraid. Your connected to Cabinet 1 and from looking at Openreach's site your exchange is classed as coming soon.
As OldJim has stated the best way to check for availability is to use the BT Dsl Checker every now and then to see if any dates pop up.
