Fibre to the Premises - FTTP Trial
Keith - your area is in the plan but it's going to be around September, I'll keep note of your details and be in touch when it's available.
jonnywishbone - all I know is that Middleton is the next area to be done, as far as I know all the fibre is laid they've just got finish the exchange end and testing then they can hand over and start placing orders. The last information I had said they were hoping for that to be done next week. Current state of play is that Walnut Tree is done, Middleton fingers crossed next week, Loughton mid August, Walton Park and Kents Hill September.
Glenn - Your postcode is covered so like Keith I'll add you to my list and be in touch when it's available. There are places left on the trial, I've not set an upper limit on how many can take part, will just need to take the begging bowl to finance when I run out of routers
Phil - we're in a bit of delay apart from Walnut Tree so I'm not expecting that those of you originally with a 30th July date will be show up as it being available tomorrow. If you guys spot it's available before I send you a ticket then just post here and I'll pick it up but my plan is to raise an invite ticket when it's available to you and then you can reply back with the appointment dates, etc. and I'm happy to give anyone a call then if they've questions.

I just carried out a test on a walnut tree tel number on the BT Wholesale Broadband availability checker. This is what I got:
"Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a Fibre To The Premises technology with an estimated Broadband downstream line speed of up to 100Mbps and upstream line speed of up to 15Mbps."
So for all those who want to know if they can get it or not, this is what you need to look out for!
I for one will be carrying out the same checks on my line twice daily until it appears, so Dave you can relax now - I will let you know
BTW - I'll need to buy more biscuits
