A shiny new Huawei cabinet has popped up a few metres from the cabinet I'm connected to. We're in the upgrade area covered by Kent County Council / BDUK, and according to the program the upgrading is supposed to start between April and September 2014. So it looks as though they've started slightly early, although I realise it can be many months before the service will be available.

I've paced out the distance from my home, and it's 240 paces (~200 metres), and there's little doubt that the wires travel straight along the road, so I have hopes of a respectable speed.

Would you like me to arrange for Walter's Wheelbarrow to be trundled over the county border and to make some preliminary investigations of the infrastructure?

Just looked at the KCC maps and am surprised by the large areas which will be left out.

BTW + OT my early married life (67-78) was in TN12 post code area.

I can confirm from your picture that hedge in the background is whats called a Privet with some Ivy mixed into it at the bottom level, I would need closer look from one of your sample to confirm this, it's been well cut and has a nice straight up & down line

b*cat is unsure of what he thinks he can see in that image and wonders if there are three JBFs directly in front of that Huawei 288 cabinet?

Thank you for the offer, but I think Walter is probably rather busy already.

Yes, it's a very nice hedge, but I think you may have missed the central object of the picture.

I'm not sure about this, but I suspect that this cabinet serves quite a large number of subscribers. Is this just feline curiosity, or would you like some close-up pictures?

There would never be a situation, where there were three JB23's in-situ in front of a Cab, B*Cat. Methinks these are just paving slabs, or something like ?? Just for info.

It's a very rural area, and the areas in question are very thinly populated. I don't know what, if anything, can/will be done for the people in those areas.

No close-up pictures will be necessary, thank you. Perhaps a description of what you see, when you next pass that way, please?

b*cat bows (in Japanese style). Thank you for the official view-point on the picture. 

The more I look at that picture, the more uncertain I become. It is almost as if there are four equally sized "doings" at that cabinet, arranged in an L shape . . .

I'm not, the current target of 90% can easily be met by focussing just on the towns and cities, leaving huge rural populations, some quite densely populated (elsewhere, if not in Kent) that have been deemed as 'not worth bothering about' in the rollout plans that the Government has allowed (/financed) BT to come up with.

Glad to hear of Roseway's promising future, though

Well albeit in another county I'm in one of the white areas ie left out areas not in BDUK: the last 10% so called of deeply rural sparsely populated properties - Well that's what I assume a village of around 400 houses is called.
What are we the said 400 houses residents' doing about it.
Hopefully getting in Gigaclear to FTTP the lot including the voice part
Then BT can go and shove their entire aluminum cabled network locally up their corporate rectal orifice.
