Fibre Update - Coming Soon Question

Housey · 13 Feb 2015 at 18:09

For over 8 months now, my exchange has been tagged by Openreach and Sam Knows as a coming soon exchange, i.e. due for upgrade in the next 6 months. It is now well past that and it is still there at CS status and I was wondering if anyone has any experience of how long past the 6 months at that status it might take?

Does the Superfast Staffordshire website help with the coded map or checker?

Back into another 6 month window so not really, but thanks none the less.

The issue is my exchange is very small with 356 house and 62 farms and out buildings effectively.

I have the same issue, wanted to go with Fibre and the due date kept creping back - so far its been over a year, in the end I went with Virgin. At the time going with Virgin the date showed between Jan to Jun 2015. (Got Virgin end of November)

Sending an email to someone high-ish up in Openreach can sometimes get a reply with more information. Alternatively if you let me know the exchange and cab number I might be able to find something out.

Yea, agree with the above. I emailed Bill Murphy (@watchingtheflow on Twitter) and he and his colleagues gave substantial info for my parents cabinet and why there were delays.
