Only a year to wait then for me at Frinton.

Inkblot · Jun 14, 2011, 18:43:58

Hmmm, Southend on Sea is listed as 'Now'

Anybody know how I can find out more? (I'll read more of the PDF in a second so if it's on there no need to tell me to RTPDF!

)

Rik · Jun 14, 2011, 18:44:51

Go to your customer portal at IDNet and check if it's available, Inky.

Simon · Jun 14, 2011, 18:48:17

Dec-11 for me.

Depends which exchange in Southend on Sea you're on.

"Southend Town" is live while "Marine" and "Thorpe Bay" aren't.

No mention of it there, only the availability of 40mb version which I already have...not that I'm greedy¹ but if it's available I'd like to at least know how much (If any) more it costs and whether the fact I am less than 3 months into a 12 month contract for the 40mb FTTC will prevent me from upgrading

¹ OK, maybe a little greedy

Edit: Southend Town for me Griff

I think you're confused Inkblot.

FTTx means FTTC and/or FTTP (the x representing the last letter). There's no new technology called FTTX. Sorry if it led to confusion.

Lance · Jun 14, 2011, 23:58:11

No date for me, but I think that is something to do with some odd ownership thing the borough council have over the main exchange in Colchester.

Ah, you are right - I was confusing myself with the 'up to 80mb' upgrade from FTTC that I read about

Steve · Jun 15, 2011, 06:53:10

Every time I see an update BT put my date back 3 months.

kinmel · Jun 15, 2011, 07:31:22

Yet again Wales is ignored, just 2 new additions, both in south Wales

.Griff. · Jul 18, 2011, 23:16:41

The above dates are now accurate as of 7th July.

FritzBox · Jul 19, 2011, 10:19:59

I see mine scheduled for 2012, personally I'd be happy with ADSL2+ No lists for that I guess?

esh · Jul 19, 2011, 11:28:16

ADSL2 was scheduled here for this year but has subsequently been canceled since it is now listed as FTTC for 2012. I suspect some exchanges will simply skip ADSL2.

Rik · Jul 19, 2011, 11:32:57

Others will just skip the 21st century altogether.

Simon · Jul 19, 2011, 11:59:26

I'm doing quite well already!

Rik · Jul 19, 2011, 12:03:44

Niall · Jul 19, 2011, 14:23:28

I think BT are skipping line stability in Wrexham full stop. I can't see us on those lists

.Griff. · Aug 04, 2011, 18:55:33

The PDF's have been updated again today folks!

Rik · Aug 04, 2011, 18:58:34

Curiously, the PDF says my exchange is live now, but IDNet are giving a date of September 30.

Glenn · Aug 04, 2011, 19:03:31

If you're brave, place an order.

.Griff. · Aug 04, 2011, 19:30:58

Rik the BT Wholesale checker also seems to suggest your exchange is now live for FTTC -

Quote
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed between 36.3 to 37.9 Mbps and upstream line speed between 9.1 to 9.8 Mbps.

Rik · Aug 05, 2011, 09:27:16

I must nudge IDNet.

Niall · Aug 05, 2011, 18:41:28

You'll wee yourself if you start getting 30mb after 3 all these years
