Yes, good news that it is a Huawei (though I am not sure that Openreach are still fitting ECI cabinets).

Good news its already there as well - so should probably go live soon.

Possible reasons for delays in going live could include:

- lack of power;
- lack of fibre;
- pre-commissioning tests/faulty equipment

If you stand next to the FTTC cabinet - can you hear fans operating?

I also found this planning application. It gives quite a lot of detail!

The application is for a DSLAM on 21st April 2015. The address is 'next to PCP083'.
In the document there are images of the location, PCP083 doesn't exist and is marked as 'PCP083 proposed location'

As this is from April 2015, it must mean the PCP is new too?

Sorry if I confused,  my response was to William.  [snipped]

Sorry my mistake.

When users dont start a separate thread for their own questions and change the topic, it's difficult to follow which responses are to the original question/post.

I agree it had got a bit confusing with two conversations running.  Ive split off posts to another thread as best I can, to try keep all your info together.
I think the only thing missing in here now is

I haven't been past again yet, so not sure if the fans are running,

thanks Kitz

Yes, it is now clear that the original telephone circuits were exchange only (EO) or direct exchange lines (DEL). The above montage has been created by overlaying an image of a DSLAM containing cabinet onto a picture of the area and adding annotations.

So since the original photograph was taken, two new cabinets and some fresh tarmac have been added.

thanks Kitz   

It doesn't sound like fans are running, but difficult to tell. Are they normally quite loud?

[burakkucat]

No, not that loud. If there is significant street noise then the fans would be difficult to hear.

Have you actually tried placing an ear against the louvres and inserting a finger in the other ear?

[nick9one1]

I think it must be getting closer..

the date has changed on here now.

for my cabinet it did say;
FTTC being connected, live by May 2016
now it says
FTTC Available from 24th February 2016

Just keep an eye on the telephone checker on http://dslchecker.bt.com/ - which is the one which counts..

[nick9one1]

as of today, both http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/ and http://dslchecker.bt.com/ say it is available!
