Fiber-to-the cabinet dates (RFS)

echo333

I understand that my exchange -Culverhouse- (near Cardiff) will get FTTC during 2013 as part of the Phase 10 rollout.

Is there a site which lists Ready For Service dates? If so please give me the link to it.(been unable to get anywhere Googleing it)

Have u tried SamKnows? (I'm not sure how much info it tells you)

Probably not, if BT Openreach are doing the installing. BT have stopped forecasting an installation date in my area as they are 12 months overdue on their original forecast.

BT's Broadband Availability checker sort of works....

It gave 31/3/14 for FTTC availability for me. But last week I saw the cabinet being installed at the end of my road and the status suddenly changed to available overnight.

We were supposed to be part of phase 8a, and won't have FTTC until March 2014.

Their rollout plan is a joke.

That's the site I use and our slipped from 31/03/13 to 30/06/13 and a fleet of BT Openreach vans have been on the street this week. We too have a new FTTC cab and they have connected it up to the old cab.

Bit surprised yours went from new cab to available overnight though, I'm led to believe it can be a couple of months from FTTC cab install to order date because of the cabling they still need to do?

Even with the FTTC cab in place my date still says 30/06/13

That date means that some cabs served by that exchange will be enabled by the date. Your particular cab could be months or years later-or never.
Use the number checker on the BT Infinity site.

The number checker is a bit useless if you don't have a BT number though.

The same site has a "Postcode Checker" option.

Gordon_Hose

Slightly less accurate as a number of cabinets can serve the same postcode.

Though it's not unreasonable to assume that the OP is currently a ADSL subscriber with an existing number.
