Gentlemen,

My grateful thanks also to all.

Kind regards,
Walter

I think we are talking at cross-purposes here. I'm alluding to the fact that a PSTN install was free if 'In-situ' ...... not DSL. Apologies if I've misunderstood.

Hi rizla,

First time poster and have been lurking for a while, reading up...
Intrigued that you mentioned a planning database...  Would this have any info on PCP80 and PCP84 on the LVWAR exchange?  Trying to solve a bit of a mystery at the moment.  LVWAR Echange isn't live yet, but new cabs are going in all over.  PCP80 is supposed to be enabled in phase 10b, no mention of PCP84, but the new cab gets sited right next to PCP84.  I think the distsnce between 80 and 84 is more than 100m, so not sure if they can make one serve as a SCP or not..

Thanks.

Hi Matt and welcome,

It's highly unlikely that BT would re-wire any PCP cabinets as part of a FTTC installation program, but perhaps BS will confirm.
In any case the FTTC capacity (Usually of 128 or 256 channels with 100 or 200 pr tie cable capacity) is significantly lower than the live twisted pair count as there are usually many lines not wanting (daring ?) to jump for a more expensive VDSL service.

The most reliable public data is usually to be found on the BT Wholesale web site, provided you are not on a TalkTalk or AOL web site due to the hissy fit between the them & BT:-

If the 2 Cabs are 'stand alone' (which they obviously are due to their invidual markings .... 80 and 84), then they will not make one or the other into an SCP.
I see you've already visited this thread ......... http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,12519.45/topicseen.html ..... which is where I was going to point you anyway. 

There are a few reasons why sometimes a new FTTC can not be installed. I would continue to monitor the situation my friend.

Thanks, guys.  I've sent a note off to nga.enquiries to see if they can shed any light on it, as up until recently, cab 80 was set to be enabled.  It could be a delay, they may be doing the cabs in a phase (closest to a-roads first, working inwards), or (and hopefully not!) they may have decided not to enable my cab.  Either way, I'll let you know when I know.  Fingers crossed.
