    Question BT Fibre Rollout - Selective?

    BT have rolled out fibre in my area however I can't get it.

    My estate is about 10 years old although the council has never adopted it for maintenance - roadways, green areas etc. Would this be the issue with pushing the new cables round?

    I haven't a clue where to investigate further - any pointers?

    My parents, two miles away can get the service using the exchange in my village!!

    It will probably be that your cabinet has not been upgraded

    If you are too close to the exchange you can't get it as its fibre from the cab and not the exchange and they won't put a cab right next to the exchange. My mate lives next door to his exchange and he's too far away from the nearest cab to get it.

    100% sure your cabinet has been upgraded and taking orders?

    I was doing this daily until the little green flag AO (accepting orders) popped up, shame it's meaningless in my case!


    I was given this link by Plus Net support, http://dslchecker.bt.com/ this gives some details which measure up to the service I receive, interestingly though my parents phone number won't bring any results back.
