So my landline in this new build property went live about 7 months ago yet on the wholesale checker and any other checker it STILL says the line doesn't have any data
"There is no data available for this number. This could be either because it is not a BT line or it is a new BT number that has just been provided. Most new numbers will appear on the checker 24 hours after BT has installed the line"
This is not a "new" line anymore and its been way way way over 24 hours lol
I HATE BT

Is your current telephone provider Sky? If so, mine refuses to show up on the wholesale checker as well. Think its a sky thing if the number on the line was assigned by them
Yes i'm with Sky, the annoying thing for me is that my area is already fibre enabled but I happen to be connected to the only cabinet thats not worth the upgrade for BT
I have been complaining for months as the Gov is promoting this village as being "fully fibre enabled" and hyping up the fact its all fine and dandy which it is not.
Thanks though I didn't know about this being a Sky thing

Everyone on Virgin has traffic management these days it gets activated after you downloaded/upload a certain amount depending on time of day.
As for the naughty letters I thought they had stopped these now as they can't actually do anything besides you hitting the traffic management.
I'm currently with Virgin but im thinking that once FTTC has been rolled out in my area I will probably move to that.

Well we are in the middle of transitioning between Virgin to BT...it has been anything but smooth. We decided to move because of an unbearable amount of jitter on the line, and virgin continuously stating there is a problem with our equipment when its not...anyhow the BT engineer turns up and we switch phones and broadband.
Speed test, all is good 76MB...however they have managed to switch our phone lines to someone elses'. After 3 calls from an angry person, we get the phone sorted....however the jitter returns.
Speed test goes from a steady and smooth 76MB connection to a connection that ranges from 17mb to 36mb...BT are sending an engineer out on Thursday to look at the cab, we shall see what happens, but at least they seem to acknowledge that the problem lies in the cab.
They did try to fob us off, but the engineer told them that it couldn't be done, because we actually knew what was happening, and from the prior tests before they fixed the phone, proved that we could hit their speeds closer to the top end of the connection.
Fingers crossed they can finally fix it and get it sorted once and for all.

Guys i've got a question DLM was set by openreach on my line @45Mbps as that was determined the max my line could support since then i have done some rewiring and the modem is syncing at 52000Kbps but the modem is only showing 45000Kbps as attainable.
Can i attually get 52000Kbps on the attainable? Is this a hard DLM that has been put on my line by the openreach engineer as they did phone up and have it raised slightly from 40Mbps?
I'm going with another ISP as i hate dealing with BT India the script is so boring now! Would the line start out like a new line with no speed cap impossed until DLM finishes its 10 day training program? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you so i'm not going mad. No my IP profile is 43.58 even though the modem is rest my modem still shows a sync speed of 52000Kbps sometimes 53000Kbps but my IP profile does not move at all. I can only think that it's the DLM that got imposed on my line.
Im leaving BT as soon as i get my MAC code do you know if this hard DLM will rest when my new ISP takes over? Thanks in advance

They don't want to know openreach has lowered a bunch of expected FTTC figures mine was 45.9 this year the figure is 33.33 India said i'm getting more than 33.33 so it's basically tough even though I've had infinity for over a year and was getting more than that with the wiring that i had in the first place. When i mentioned DLM BT India didn't have a clue what it was only that i should get option3 FTTP which I can't get lol

Hows your error rate with these storms?
Mine has gone from 0 to a couple of hundred, still not affecting the service though but the cab is a few metres away.

Apologies if this has been asked before, my exchange is being enabled this September , do all providers offer fibre from that date?
Maybe. Sky and TalkTalk have to install a GEA link in the exchange.

cheers, this is what I`d like to know, typically how this pans out.....afaik BT offer it immediately its available...........my completely uneducated guess is that other vendors might be a tad laggardly?
Good news for some more of us including myself 
:
BT has just announced that they’ve been able to squeeze an additional 9 telephone exchanges into their national £2.5bn roll-out of up to 80Mbps (Megabits per second) capable Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) based superfast broadband ISP products around the United Kingdom.
At present BT’s commercial roll-out (excluding BDUK) aims to cover around 66% of the UK (19 million homes and business) by spring 2014 and the last (final) major deployment update was published in February 2013 (here). Since then the service has expanded to pass over 15 million premises (roughly half of the country) and it continues to grow.
But as a result of today’s announcement around 58,000 extra homes and businesses across these extra areas will have access to the technology between this Summer (2013) and the end of Spring 2014. In addition, infill work (i.e. expanding fibre into areas that were previously thought to be not commercially viable) should help to reach another 78,000 premises served by previously announced exchanges.
The exchanges announced today are all relatively small exchanges and do not materially change the total figure.
The Final 9 Commercial FTTx Telephone Exchange Upgrades
GREAT WAKERING – Essex
HOLLAND ON SEA – Essex
HORTON BANK – West Yorkshire
HOYLAND – South Yorkshire
INGATESTONE – Essex
JARROW – Tyne and Wear
KENTON – Tyne and Wear
LOWER SHELTON – Bedfordshire
WEST MERSEA – Essex
