Your Superfast Fibre Optic Broadband download speed will be 80 Meg with an upload speed of 20 Meg.

Win, although I do live literally a few meters from the cabinet.
 
Openreach announces another 73 exchanges for FTTC

The roll-out of the original ADSL services took a few years, but now most people have had a taste for broadband, the addiction is kicking in, and announcements of the superfast broadband roll-outs are always being asked about. Openreach has announced another 73 exchanges as part of phase 9b for its Fibre to the Cabinet (VDSL2) service.

The 73 exchange areas cover some 705,000 homes and businesses, and while not all cabinets are enabled, and exchange only lines will miss out, the general estimate is that 85% of lines on an exchange will benefit. The ready for service (RFS) date is Spring 2013, but as people in other areas have discovered, this date can move around due to local delays. With these 73 exchanges added to the roll-out, Openreach is now set to have its FTTC/FTTP services available to around 16 million homes and businesses.

My cabinet is listed as `Phase 9b` in the `PCP to postcode file`, does this mean I can expect my cabinet to be done soon?

Just had the live date move from March 31st to June 30th ..maybe somewhere in between this date might happen who knows ?? :)
 
Mine did that last year, along with a few other dates mixed in about this time, went live early May, here's hoping! :)
 
Who knows tbh. But that was the kind of time frame that i experienced. Just to give you a general idea.
 
My postcode doesn't appear in the PCP file, but my exchange is down to be enabled in June. I suspect this is because the phonelines are distributed in the building rather than from a street cabinet.

What are the chances of me ever seeing fibre?

No Virgin Media for me, just 2meg ADSL.

You'd think a 4 year old estate would have been better provisioned.

mine is a 1954 est in a country area but it had the old NTL cables put in years ago and now VM but B.T is kind of playing catch up :( the exchange is about just under a mile from us and the cabinets are under 400 yards from us , i think VM box is even nearer :) but your right there always lagging behind the rest of the world in Broadband :(

If BT Openreach haven't finished doing all the work for FTTC, how do you expect to get Sky Fibre if you can't have BT Infinity?
