Hi,

I do realise that the most likely response to this is probably going to be '6 days to 6 months'
However, I wanted to know if you had experienced anything similar and what kind of timescales you have experienced.

My town (Pop. 5.5kish) under the Super Fast Cymru rollout is in the process of getting FTTC.
I've been waiting, sometimes impatiently for a couple of years for this, and as such I try to keep up with the progress so I can order it the instant it becomes available.

My local cabinet has been stood, and today power has been hooked up.
Am I correct in thinking the next step will be the DSLAM equipment itself?

What timescales do you think I might be looking at ?

Also, once it is finally AO, will I be able to upgrade through Sky immediately...or do Sky also have to install their own equipment at the exchange level?

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for the replies guys.

I have been using Roadworks. But I believe I'm at the point now where it probably wont be there.
Everything from a 'works' perspective is done.
The duct have been dug out, laid and re-tarmac'ed. The cabinet has been placed, the power has been connected.

I hope its just DSLAM equipment and testing now..fingers crossed.

I just checked that website and it states
FTTC or FTTP 31st December 2015

It will certainly be before that....I hope.
 
Ouch, I hope that doesn't happen to me.
I want to start back with youtube/streaming but I gave up after it started taking 8 hours to upload a 15 minute video.
I was hoping to start this month, but looks like that wont happen. Fingers crossed for July.
 
Came home today and noticed a BT Contractor near the cab. I went to have a chat. He was installing the line cards/UPS. He said it would be commissioned by him today.

So just waiting on BT and whatever testing they do now.
 
Came home to this today.
