BT/OR are useless

It's taken 3 years 2 months and 28 days for BT OR and the local council to arrive at this point. A couple of weeks ago a cutting across the main road was put in to connect the old cab 38 in Wallasey and the new FTTC.
A day or two later they installed the cable to connect the two cabs. The only thing to do was blow the fibre (which is already in the joint box) across the road and make the necessary connections.
The old cab is a 300 pair cab the size of the cable to the FTTC is 140 pair. So not everyone is going to be able to connect initially.
To add insult to the already very slow attitude to improve speeds on cab 38 BT have seen fit to add 9 months to their availability date which is now DECEMBER 2017

This will mean BT have lost 4 years income from this cab. What a way to run a company!!!
 
What size of FTTC cabinet does it look like? Did they install a mini DSLAM or a full size one.
 
Hi Mark,

It looks like a small one 284 pair. Did not get a good look at the FTTC as it is on the other side of the road and there was a van stuck in front of it.
