Andrew Campling, the director of BT England has sent another email with some great news! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apologies for the slight delay in responding, I’ve been waiting for a further update from our Openreach team, which I’ve now received. They undertook a test dig at the proposed site of the new cabinet to ensure that there were no unexpected obstacles. I’m pleased to let you know that this was successful and that we expect that the fibre cabinet should be live no later than the end of March, although we will try to deliver it sooner if possible. The technology involved will be VDSL, in the form of fibre to the cabinet. This is of course a key enabler for G.Fast as the G.Fast “pods” are only installed where FTTC is available, utilise the power and fibre connections that supply the VDSL cabinet; I can’t confirm though whether your cabinet will be included in the G.Fast programme, details of which are available here. You will have the option to upgrade to fibre to the premises via the “FTTP on demand” product once the cabinet is live, again taking advantage of fibre being in the locality to supply the cabinet.
