Yes. I have no idea what was up but it was transitive and resolved rapidly.

I also can't be bothered with trying to find out. As long as it behaves itself it can stay.

Hi all, normally post on Thinkbroadband forums, and not here.

We've just had the 200mb service installed at our office in Westgate on Sea.  Not had a chance to test it just yet though!  But thought this may be useful for other people in the area... once I've had some time to test I'll post some results.

I personally live near Monkton, so hoping the service will be run through this village in the near future (fingers crossed!)

Think something must have broke on the VM postcode checker when i put my postcode in it no longer shows my house number it was showing 113 to 135 now its showing 113 to 159 lol (Our postcode is different because we are in the flats) also if i check for example number 27 in my road it says they can order but if i chose "Can't find your address?" and choose 27 again it says not available in my area lol

It also shows that some houses in the road can order that have different postcodes to me

Been checking the surrounding roads and apparently Pysons road / Greenfield road can order now it says "part serviceable lightning" up to 200Mb

Rumfields road is showing able to order now also "part serviceable lightning" up to 200Mb

Curious how it works if we can only order 200Mb and then they bump it up to 300/350?

Sill showing not available to me :-(

@SlimJ will be interested hear how you get on. Did you have the option of 350?

@Supernoodles, perhaps they are just slow updating the database for the checker, perhaps give online chat a go.

Spoke to someone on the online chat earlier today and sadly they seem kinda clueless basically just asked me to fill out the cable my street form despite me telling them it went live yesterday lol

Just checked a property on Rumfields Rd and it shows "Part Servicable up to 200Mb", but underneath it shows all packages available right up to Vivid 350. I did notice that phone is not available, so thats probably what the "Part servicable" refers to.

It seems half the Wimpy estate is live, but not the half I'm in.

interesting when i checked it only showed me packages supporting up to 200Mb.

kinda hitting a brick wall in terms of the postcode checker just called their sales team and they can't seem to tell me why half of my road can order, but i can't and they can't tell me why my address is missing from the checker then decided to spout some nonsense to me about my address still being in the "planning" stage and that the service will be live within 3 to 18 months time despite the fact the engineer told me yesterday it was live I assume the call centre staff just don't have the correct information or something.

postcode checker appears to have been corrected it's now showing my house number again this morning still can't order sadly

Also I'm seeing that you can order 350 despite it saying 200 available now my page must have been cached yesterday

So can I  ;D

Still only says up to 200Mb  at the top in the green bit, but it shows  the Vivid 350 package below as available.  I think they just haven't updated the website code to reflect that 350 is available in some areas.

If you live in a flat they probably need permission from the freeholder to connect into the block.
