Enter your phone number in the line checker or
the postcode checker will tell you the status of the exchanges closest to you
http://www.superfast-wales.com/where-and-when

The site is aimed at Wales but the checker covers all of the UK
I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

    Can't speak for Wales but it's not accurate for SE England or London.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • It's accurate for my area.

    My exchange does have FTCC but according to Samknows it's not enabled.

    Exchanges don't have fibre, street cabs do. There might be many lines connected to that exchange where FTTC is available, but until your street cab is enabled, you won't get it.

    SamKnows still tells you if the exchange is FTTC enabled or not or it may just say that it's only available in some areas.
