Exchange upgrade notification

g7pkf · Apr 13, 2008, 12:41:26

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 · Apr 13, 2008, 12:45:32

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 · Apr 13, 2008, 12:46:25

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 · Apr 13, 2008, 12:47:20

Odd, I just asked the same question.

madasahatter · Apr 13, 2008, 12:48:01

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

Dangerjunkie · Apr 13, 2008, 12:52:12

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 · Apr 13, 2008, 12:52:52

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

Sebby · Apr 13, 2008, 12:53:59

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

Colin Burns · Apr 13, 2008, 13:00:31

Same here Colin, another Post Code Lottery, targeted at the usual masses.

Cherry Picking again.

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.

Except on here....

madasahatter · Apr 13, 2008, 13:32:02

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 · Apr 13, 2008, 13:37:25

Only...

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

madasahatter · Apr 13, 2008, 13:44:04

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

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
