Those on FTTC - how are Openreach doing keeping you guys in ports / tie pairs / DSLAMs?
The area our campaigning focused on ended up with 4 commercial cabinets and 5 BDUK cabinets passing the properties.
All 4 commercial cabinets are unavailable.
Two of them require new ducting, and need new PCP shells. One of them, the one that I'm connected to, needs a stand off shell, line cards, tie pairs. A fourth I'm not sure about. Some of this isn't the fault of Openreach, but is due to bad communication between developers and Openreach. We have cabinets that are both PCPs and SCPs as copper has had to be daisy-chained.
These guys have been closed off to new orders for a while. 82 went live in early December 2013 and has spent longer unavailable than available.
You guys seeing the same kind of things, or no issues?
Certainly Openreach seem to have models for uptake and where they aren't high enough they seem to be struggling a bit.
