Connected to the same exchange does not guarantee you FTTC. Different streets may mean you are connected to a different street cabinet, one without FTTC or non-live cabinet.

I have exactly the same problem - half of my estate are able to get FTTC and the other half are connected to a a cabinet that has a fiber box next to it yet cannot get it according to infinity checker.
Has anybody phoned and got fibre even though the checker says different ?
I have just rang BT, they said the checker can sometimes be out of date but she checked her internal system and it's not available.
She then mentioned it depends when the street cab get updated.
Its says
Welcome to the Broadband Availability checker. This will provide a provisional check of your ability to receive reliable Broadband services.
Please enter your telephone number.
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.
If this is a new BT number and does not appear after 24 hours then please click here for further details.
If it makes you feel any better the date, 30th of September is just a place holder date, you could well have it before then when your local cab is upgraded.
Keep checking the Sky site as they may allow additional time before you can order even if BT Openreach have activated the cab.
You could always use a next-door neighbours number to run through the checker (ask first). BT Openreach won't tell end users, only the ISPs, when a cab is going live.
