There's a page on the main website which gives detailed steps about various ways to get information on the location of you cab and also how to find out what make/model of FTTC cab/DSLAM it is.

FTTC Fibre Cab Lookup

That is a very useful technique. Thank you for documenting a simple way to make use of that website's data.

Absolutely agree ..... that is a nice piece of work, right there.

My Cabinet 1 on the map is in the wrong location if it was correct i would have a sync of 79998

It centralises it on postcode - hence why it will never be exactly correct, but at least it gives an idea of the general area to look.

lol   I think it only allows 10 lookups per day.   I did a few today as I was putting in pizza takeaway phone no's to use for the example but I must have managed to keep under the 10

Maybe a change of IP address will give me another 10 lookups

Perhaps, or it may just store a cookie.   You could try a different browser to test  Actually thinking about it..  I was using two different browsers whilst I was doing the page, so maybe thats why I didnt hit the limit.

Just been to the link  'www.telecom-tariffs.co.uk/codelook.htm' very useful site, been looking at cabinet locations for my area Bath, there one cabinet shown as 'Exchange 11', driven along the road, can see no cabinet, so can a exchange be in a manhole?

[ip75]

I think the "Exchange" entries, as opposed to the "Cabinet" entries, refer to bundles of exchange-only lines, not cabinets.

[kitz]

Yep exchange = Exchange only lines.  ie those that don't have a PCP cabinet. 

So no e-side, no d-side just one length of copper back to the MDF in the exchange *. 
Which also means no FTTC for EO lines until BT install a brand new PCP & FTTC cabinet for them OR install one of these at the bottom of the page here http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/fttc-cabinets.htm#fttc_street_cabinet



*Before someone else points it out, that doesnt mean it wont have joints and joins anywhere.

What's all the different phases? Phase 06a, 09a, 10a?

What's all the different phases? Phase 06a, 09a, 10a?

This was simple BT's rollout schedule in the rollout of FTTC - so 06a was before 09a etc
