Hummm, interesting... I guess it was pure hype on BT's part then for enabling Basingstoke at this time. The DSLAM that would provide coverage for my house went in some time ago (http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/lh/photo/eaktVCr5WERK5fLU_bF3yw?feat=directlink) after a month of digging and cable pulling before that.
I was aware that only 77 of the 171 PCP in Basingstoke were in scope of the towns Phase 1 enablement to be FTTC so I was hopeful to get on the service after the Jan 25th date given by BT for our exchange.
Looks like the people of Basingstoke are going to have to wait a little longer

Mark

spock - there's a bit of confusion in the data for your line, the postcode shows you're on cab 63 (which serves the whole postcode) which one of the datasets is enabled and one says isn't. I'm checking.

I have not seen many exhanges enabled or scheduled to be enabled in Scotland in Phase II and Phase III.
Any idea if my exchange (Pollok) in Glasgow will be enabled?
Thanks
Michael

In early Jan I had ADSL1 512Kbs, ADSL Max 1Mbs or greater, ADSL2+ 2Mbs or greater and FTTC go live 20th Jan
Later in Jan it was the same with a FTTC date of 1st Feb
Then I had ADSL1 512Kbs, ADSL Max 1Mbs or greater, ADSL2+ 2Mbs or greater and no FTTC mentioned
Now it says ADSL1 512Kbs, ADSL Max 500Kbs or greater, ADSL2+ 500KBS or greater and no FTTC.
If I use my postcode it says FTTC is available now (i.e. it says FTTC is available with no date stated)
Grrrr

This is how Openreach are working, the exchange side stiff at the phase 2 sites should all be done, BT Wholesale have linked up their network to the FTTC head end at the exchange so that side is ready.
At each exchange there are teams of Openreach engineers going round fitting all the cabinets and getting any fibre, power, etc. that needs doing done. They have a schedule of when they expect each cabinet to be done. Some cabinets have had problems so rather than delay the rest of the rollout in that area they've just moved on to the next cabinet. These cabinets will then lose their ready for service date from the schedule and disappear from the availability checker (but the ones ahead may get bumped up the schedule). They will then get picked up later on but are unlikely to have a new ready for service date until they are actually ready.

'At the present time, we have no plans to trial this service in your area but this is something that may well change. We would normally contact our customers in an area like this when we are going to trial a service, so please watch out for emails from us.

The replys in this forum seem to contradict the above statement and I wondered if you could clarify the position for me.
Thanks,

I'll check up on this and make sure the message within the CSC is consistent, with the first 3 exchanges that's exactly what we did, we contacted the customers that could get it and see if they want to trial it. With the new exchanges it's all a bit more complicated because of what's being enabled when so we aren't at the moment planning a mass mail out, instead I'm thinking of setting up a trial help assistant and let people that can get it raise tickets in and we'll manage them that way. Keep a look out for more details when I have them.

However, it does change regularly - I know that my cabinet (PCP73) was showing as being ignored last week, however it's changed and is now showing as being upgraded.

A couple of the cabinets in Basingstoke are due at the end of February, with some others around the country already done or being done between now and the end of March.
