interesting reply from BS, suggests its possible but wont happen due to policies.
His reasoning is logical sadly, once one end user gets it done everyong will want it.
Well, I didn't move to another cabinet, having connection problems, but I was moved from a line at front of property to another line at rear of property, which knocked several hundred metres off the distance to cabinet, & as a result I've gone 30Mb to 75Mb.
I was told by it done on a invidual case by case, which depend on the problems your having.
As stated ..... you were having connection issues. If proven to be down to faulty D-side cabling up to the DP (Telegraph Pole), then there are occasions where it may be frugal (safety, cost, time-scales) to feed a premises from a different DP.
It all depends on whether the different DP is served by the same Cabinet or not as to the results (Positive or negative ?).
This kind of action is
completely the exception, as opposed to the rule. Ideally the 'Planner' will have been involved to ensure the new DP has 'Spare capacity' and that the actual 'Spares' are not ear-marked for future use. If there are no 'Spares' then a 'Pair Divert' may be necessary to 'Push a spare pair' from yet another DP to the new one the premises is to be fed from.
Everything has to be recorded to future-proof our network capabilities.
It's mentioned on here every now and again ..... but to reiterate ..... broadband is a 'best efforts' product. That is because it is fed over
legacy cable, not intended for the kind of higher frequencies the cable was designed for many, many decades ago.
There will always be boundary lines as well. One of
Kitz's resident stats experts, sees his premises closer to another Cabinet. This Cab is actually fed from a completely different Exchange though.
Even if there are two Cabs off the same Exchange in the same locality, they will have been 'Planned' against the particular area that each individual Cabinet serves. The cables from each individual DP will only go back to that one particular Cabinet .......... which is again why BB is touted as 'Best efforts'.
I can understand the misguided frustration of folk who are fed from a Cab 1km away from their house, yet there's a different Cab right outside their door. But that is just how it is, and it won't change ...... believe me.
