Vanishing green cabinets

[#1]

thanks for your help, at last something I can understand
the guys at Superfast Cornwall say I'm on Cab17 - FTTP one day maybe...
Cab19 has been upgraded to FTTC and I know some are connected to it now
Cab39 I have no clue about, never seen that one

[#2]

Here's a map of the postcodes covered by P39, there's only 7

[#3]

well that's odd, they'er all right between Cab19 & Cab17
do you know what 'Tranche 2' is about?

[#4]

No, no idea seems to be mentioned a lot in the phase data for Cornwall.

[#5]

thanks a lot for your help
I now know where Cab39 is - even though it's not mine
near as I can tell, "Tranche 2" means "should be done by the end of March"
although that seems a very loose definition, might apply to the exchange, not necessarily the Cab

Ronski,
could you please check for g727gg 
If you could advise on which cabinet i should be keeping an eye on as there are a few around.
many thanks,
podman

podman, having spent the evening trying to find out about my own connection, I can offer you this link ~
http://fttc-check.alc.im/
which would suggest your connection is ~
Exchange Code WSCAM ~ Exchange Name GLASGOW CAMBUSLANG
Area Postcode  G727GG ~ Cabinet Number 15

I have found http://www.roadworks.org/ useful for finding out if any digging is going on locally
and my council planning site - planning was applied for Cab39 a few weeks ago - nothing for my Cab17 though

[#10]

I've also found that road works website very useful, as it covers my area (not all County's are covered), you can also set up an email alert for an area or even just a particular road.
I've actually produced a PCP map of my local area, so any one in Thanet can check their cabinet http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=215548689936821040259.0004bb3b5e7a3aa9095a0&msa=0&ll=51.337137...

There's also another checker on the Think Broadband forums which people can also use http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/fibre/f/4100434-fibre-availability-checker.html?page=6&vc=1 links in the first post.
PS. BT don't need planning permission unless they are in a conservation area, they basically have special powers which permit them to site their cabinets anywhere at the side of the public highway, but they always need a street works permit, hence the roadworks website is so useful.

[#11]

well that's even more good news, (at least it could be happening)
I wonder why they bothered with <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=50.208855,-5.287589&spn=0.002558,0.004823&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=50.208902,-5.287742&panoid=o3TyUaO-8hhOeG7Oa6OVIg&cbp=12,155.06,,0,28.16">Cab39</a> though, no chance that's in a conservation area

[#12]

It would be great if anyone had any idea about the Blackburn Exchange in lancashire.  Is it due to be upgraded ever??  Cant find any info at all, even BT have no idea.

[#13]

@penfold, there's no mention of Blackburn in the December spreadsheet, not even the exchange code (LCBLK). I wonder if Blackburn is up for some Government funding, don't think BT is doing these areas yet, they're holding out for the funding.
I did find this http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/darwen/9578415.Superfast_broadband_expansion_set_for_Black...
Might pay you to ask the question on the http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/fibre.html forums.

[#14]

Thanks. The telegraph article seems to be on about adsl2, which we have had here for ages. Hopefully its a mistake and they mean fttc :P.  Will try the thinkbroadband forums

[#15]

Hi penfold,
I've just checked our supplier's systems and there's definitely no plans for FTTC at this time at your exchange.
