Exchange upgrade notification

[g7pkf]

Now ive looked at samknows many times but just noticed if you go to your exchange page here to find your exchange, go to details of your exchange then right at the bottom is a box to put your email address in to receive any notifications about your exchange.

very handy, should help people hence why im putting it here.

[Rik]

Handy link, Dean.  

What puzzles me, though is:

BT Wholesale has set an enablement date of 18/11/2008 for their 21CN Wholesale Broadband Connect product at the Wolverton exchange

BT have set a target date of Q2 2010 for the switch to 21CN for the Wolverton exchange


I wonder how they can deliver one before the other? (I went for the RSS feed, btw.)

[madasahatter]

Thanks for that g. I check the site every so often, but had never noticed that  

Anyway, that has brought up a question - for my exchange the site is showing

21CN WBC status:  RFS date set: 19/05/2009

yet,

21CN PSTN switchover target: Q3 2011 .

Anyone know what the difference between these is, and what they mean to the humble hoob at the end of the line?

Edit - obviously typing virtually the same thing at the same time as Rik 

[Rik]

Odd, I just asked the same question.

[madasahatter]

Either "great minds think alike", or "fools rarely differ" - take your pick 

[Dangerjunkie]

Does 21CN come with an all new integrated voice card/DSLAM or are they still separate? If they're separate then maybe they're going to switch the ADSL over and change the transport for the voice cards later?

Cheers,
Paul.

[Rik]

Could be, Paul, and could be behind the BT work that's been going on.

[Sebby]

That is useful. Thanks, Dean. Supposedly, my exchange is getting WBC in June 2008, and 21CN switchover is Q4 this year.

[Colin Burns]

I'm not the usual masses In - I live in a rural village with lots of other hoobs

Rural or imaginary? 

[madasahatter]

Rural or imaginary? 

Could be either I suppose, but I'm happy in my own little world

You are fortunate then Mad, but I suspect in the minority.

[madasahatter]

but I suspect in the minority.

Hoobs are always in the minority In 

[Inactive]

Hoobs are always in the minority In 

Except on here....

[madasahatter]

There's only three of us 

Maybe we just get a little carried away with posting so that it seems like there are loads of us 

[Inactive]

Only... Mad, I don't have a problem with Hoobs, all good fun.

[madasahatter]

I know mate - it's only Welsh Den that we've got to watch out for 

Jerry keeps trying to stir things up, but I can keep him under control pretty easy with me trusty hoobyhammer 

[Inactive]

I know mate - it's only Welsh Den that we've got to watch out for 

His bark is far worse than his bite Mad, I've trodden on his toes a few times, but he doesn't bear a grudge .. ( I hope ).

The WBC is described here; whilst WBC and PSTN are both part of the 21CN programme their infrastructures are due to be completed at different times

[Rik]

Useful link, Alan, thanks. 

[madasahatter]

Interesting link Alan - hadn't noticed that. I do notice, however, that the minimums are still being set ludicrously low
