I avoided posting blow-by-blow updates to this thread... but to cut a long story short, everything proceeded in an orderly fashion;
- On 29 Jan the broadband availability checker was updated to show my line was served by Cabinet 10 (not 7, as previously) - but with no VDSL info
- In early February further roadworks took place to put in extra trenches to (I assume) bring a handful of other local properties' lines to the cabinet.
- On 17 Feb the availability checker was updates showing VDSL availability with an 80/20 estimate
- On 4 March I was emailed by Plusnet advising me that upgrade work was scheduled for 15 March with an estimated 1-2hr outage and they apologised for any inconvenience.
- On 4 March the CodeLook DB was updated to show Cab 10 going live "by March" rather than the previous "by May"
- This week I've seen a significant Openreach presence - which kinda made me nervous - but today, bang on schedule, my line went offline for 90 mins whilst the live-to-live migration took place.
Currently syncing at 40/10 due to the package I'm on but with 82/33 showing as my max sync. Interleaving is at 1283! - I'm hoping DLM will bring that down on its own so leaving everything to settle.
One very happy punter here.
- thanks for all the excellent info from others on this thread. Hopefully this update proves helpful to anyone else going through a similar experience in future. I'm pretty impressed that everything was achieved in just over 2 months from cabinet footing being put in to users live.
