When is my BT cabinet being upgraded for fibre?

Hi,
I live on a new build estate with about 100+ houses and whilst everywhere around us seems to be able to get fibre our cabinet has not been upgraded for fibre.
I'v registered my interest on the BT site to be kept informed of fibre availability in my area several times and have not heard anything from BT.
I cannot find anywhere on the BT site / forums which tell me how I can find out when BT are / or if they are planning to upgrade my cabinet.
Can anyone help me find out more accurate information from BT about this as I work from home a lot and my current broadband speed is very slow and drops off a lot?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi mattr,
Your exchange maybe FTTC fibre broadband enabled but to be able to get Fibre broadband such as BT Infinity your green telephone street cabinet will also need to be upgraded with a new FTTC Street Cabinet. Not all of these street cabinets in an exchange area are upgraded.
You can check if WBC FTTC fibre broadband such as BT Infinity is available to your landline number/address by going to the BT Wholesale Database.
If it gives a estimated date for :WBC FTTC" then your cabinet is in the rollout plan. 
If you do not have a BT recognisable number then you can check using your address by going to BT Wholesale Database http://dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/ADSLChecker.AddressOutput .
Click here to see an example of what your looking for in the BT Wholesale Database.
If there is no mention of WBC FTTC when checking the BT Wholesale Database then unfortunately it looks like your cabinet isn't currently in Openreach's fibre broadband rollout plan. 
Unfortunately BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP who operates this forum) does not have much say as to when and if you will be able to get FTTC or FTTP/H based broadband such as BT Infinity.
**The Fibre-Optic Broadband Rollout is being managed and done by Openreach for all communication providers/ISPs.
BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP) has nothing to do with the rollout of fibre broadband.**

  • When will my street cabinet be upgraded for fibre ...

    Hi all,
    I live in central Cambridge, in the middle of a development of 340 or so, new flats and I believe we're all connected to the same street cabinet opposite our building. There's more development work going on to complete this summer on 400-500 more flats on the same street and will (presumably), be connected to the same street cabinet.
    Currently, we get around 3MB (max is 6MB), and I believe our local exchange has been upgraded to fibre optic. I checked our address for post code CB2 8DT and it seems there aren't any plans for fibre optic. However, the street next to ours CB2 8DP IS scheduled to get fibre optic between March - June 2013!
    Is there a way to check which street cabinet I'm connected to? And which street cabinet the other street is connected to?
    Many thanks,
    Danny

    Hi,
    Thank you. It would accept my phone number because I'm not with BT (I'm with Sky). So I entered my address, which it said was less accurate and found these results...

  • My exchange is being upgraded to fibre.

    As pleased as I was to see the exchange I am on, FARNBOROUGH, HANTS, on BT's new list of 300 that are being upgraded to fibre I wondered if this means everyone who uses this exchange will now get high speed fibre broadband or is it just those who actually live in the town of Farnborough?
    I am three miles away.

    They are rolling this out gradually. It will only be available to you if/when your local roadside cabinet is connected by fibre.

  • I bought my 20" iMac in Nov of 2007 and when I try to purchase the upgrade for lion I'm told I need 2GB of memory and I only have 1GB.  How can I get more?  I am currently running snow leopard

    Trying to upgrade to Lion on my 20" iMac that I bought in Nov. 2007.  Currently I'm running on MAC OS X version 10.6.8.  When I tried to buy the upgrade I got a response that Lion requires 2 GB of memory and I only have 1 GB.  How can I get more memory and will my computer be compatible with Lion when I do get more memory?

    Yes you can install more RAM. Up to 6 GBs. Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. For the maximum use one 4 GB and one 2 GB. Otherwise install a pair of 2 GB modules for a total of 4 GBs.
    You can purchase suitable RAM at DataMem or OWC. OWC also has video tutorials on installation.

  • Getting error 9006  when trying to download 3.1 upgrade for itouch

    can anyone tell me why I might be getting the "unknown error 9006" when trying to download the 3.1 update for my itouch? It just tells me to check my network settings and try again. I don't have any problems downloading anything else.

    disregard. It was a firewall issue and has been resolved.

  • I am being asked for a serial number when I install CS5

    When I installed Creative Suite 5 Master it asked for a serial number, which I provided. Now it is asking me for a serial number upgrade? This is the master collection being installed for the first time, why is it telling me it can't find qualifying software to upgrade?

    Branching to a separate discussion.
    Jymjeo123 you will want to enter your previous qualifying version serial number.  You can locate the serial numbers under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  For additional details please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • When will my Cabinet get upgraded, Can anyone help...

    Hi work used to pay for my broadband, but I now need to get my own.  My exchange  was infinity enabled last month, but not my cabinet, I need to know when it is likely to be upgraded before committing to a provider.  Can anyone out there find out if an upgrade is in the offering.  Would be very much appreciated.
    Details are
    sg5 4qb
    Exchange SMSTF (stotfold)
    Status: excepting orders
    Availability: Now
    Cabinet number: P19
    Thanks

    If your phone service is provided by BT, enter it at:
    http://www.bt.com/infinity
    This will show when it is likely to be enabled.
    The Openreach website confirms your exchange is enabled, but obviously (from what you've said) not your cabinet.
    If you're not with BT, you could ask a neighbour who is with them to enter their phone number on the website above.
    When it comes to providers, all the ISPs use the OpenReach network for super fast, fibre broadband, except for Virgin, who have their own.
    Accordingly, if the check says not available in the near future, your only other option would be to see if Virgin provide a similar high speed link to your property.

  • When using Craigslist I keep getting this error: Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Nothing I do works to fix this.

    When I use Craigslist, my personal list of things being sold, and I try and renew my listings, I periodically get this: "Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain." Usually rebooting my computer makes it go away for a short time, but today that isn't working and following the commands on the warning doesn't work either...is this truly a firefox issue? How do I fix it.

  • I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?

    I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?

    Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferencs > Security & Privacy
    Apps such as Little Snitch and Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading from the App store including Mountain Lion.
    Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
    Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

  • I was informed that my data plan was eligible for a free upgrade from 250mb to 750mb and told the rep to do so. but it was never done. I am being charged for overage. What do I do?

    I called in to do a temp upgrade on my data and was told by the rep that my account was eligible for a free upgrade. I said okay, but it never happened and now I am being charged for an overage. When I check my plan specifics I see that my data is set to the old amount, I will not pay what I don't owe. Now I am having trouble contacting anyone to help resolve this issue.

        Dusty4691,
    This is a stumper! As MrHelper stated, we do not have a 750MB plan so I'm curious as to what that offer was. How much data did you end up using for the month and how much were you charged in overages?

  • I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes.  I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work.  I don't know what password it's looking for

    Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin.  What do you mean by not using the backup?  I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates.  Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

  • Why I am being charged for Total Mobile Protection when I never asked for it?  I just checked my bill on My Verizon and was surprised at this additional charge.

    I just checked my bill online after upgrading my phone to a iPhone 6 and now I am being charged for something called Total Mobile Protection.  Is this some kind of phone insurance or something?
    I was never charged this before so was kind of upset to see it added on without my permission/knowledge (I specified to the Verizon Wireless agent in the store I went to that I only wanted the contract for the $60  2GB and Unlimited talk/text plan that I currently had.  They said that would work).
    How can I get this extra $10 a month off my bill?

    When you upgrade online you do have the option to deny this though the deny option is way down the page. make s it look like you have to choose an insurance option. Also I've done 2 recent upgrades in a retail store twice and both times they added the protection without asking. Luckily I always check my account so I easily removed this feature on the first day. Let's just say I won't be upgrading at this store ever again. No wonder people get mad when they upgrade multiple lines and their bill is $30, $40, $50 higher than what they a were told because of this unasked for feature.
