FTTC How can I find out if it will be run to my CAB?

As per the title my exchange is due for FTTC in March 2012. I live in a village at the very limit for ADSL (You are approximately 4.70km from the exchange) so I'm really hoping that BT will run fibre to the local CAB which would be great, however as this is BT I expect they won't due to return on investment. Is there anyway to find out which cabinets will be done as part of the process? The exchange is Alfreton

If I run a SamKnows against my Tel + Postcode I get the following;

BT FTTC broadband availability
You are connected to the Alfreton telephone exchange.

FTTC should be available in your area from 01/03/2012

Downstream Min: 15.8 Mbps
Downstream Max: 28.2 Mbps
Upstream Min: 2.2 Mbps
Upstream Max: 11 Mbps

Is there anyway to get this info from BT?

Any advice appreciated

Thats great but not the news I was after. I have messaged ADSL24 and will see what they come back with. I wonder if we (the village) can get some of that Government funding for rural broadband to subsidise the cost to BT in the hope they will run the required length of fibre! :rolleyes:
