Hi everyone, first time poster here.

Welcome to the Kitz forum. :)

My postcode is LL11 2UG. The there is a code written on the CBT, CBZDTAZM.

I know of a certain Black Sheep who would be able to decipher that eight character, runic, inscription. It just depends as to when he has a few moments spare . . .

Look up the UPRN for your home here, then enter the UPRN into the BT Broadband Availability Checker and see what that says.

I entered your postcode into Google Maps and virtually looked around via the Street View images.

I see that properties are served aerially and, interestingly, close the cul-de-sac at the curve in the road there are a couple of hollow poles. To deploy fibre aerial drops from a hollow pole requires the fitting of a "squid". I appreciate that your home will eventually be served from a wooden pole but if there is any difficulty in fitting "squids" to the hollow poles then that might be the reason for the delay. A PON will not be activated (lit) until all hardware has been installed, audited and signed off.

However that is just guess work on my part . . . and I could just be caterwauling from the top of the wooden pole, from which my aerial drop originates.  ;)

The houses served by the hollow poles have been taken out of the build plans as of last week,

Ah, that is interesting. I wonder what was the reason for that decision. A shortage of "squids" or technicians capable of deploying them correctly? If the PON is enabled in the next few days then that would be an indicator.

Not to step on BS' toes  ;D but Netomnia / YouFibre are also rolling out in Wrexham, if you were looking for a symmetrical connection

I just hope MJ Quinn or whoever it is pull their fingers out, seems like everyone around us has great connectivity apart from us.

Hi Wrex,
Welcome to the party any update on your installation?
I live in town and have just had the go a head for FTTP, as I live in a flat, but it turned out the boxes had been ticked but the fiber not installed!
Netomnia have also done the street along with VM. But N have had issues with their contractor. So instead of the Cardiff firm they use they have switched to a Liverpool one. Makes a bit more sense.
All the best when/if you have had the install.
David.

Could it be a Netomnia/youfibre CBT? They are rolling out in Wrexham I believe.
