Hi guys,
I have been watching the FTTC roll-out in Scotland closely and noticed a strange thing in Taynuilt. Cabinet #1 there has a DSLAM counterpart which was installed a year ago now and has had a humming noise coming from it for some months indicating that equipment is installed and switched on.
However, the BT and Digital Scotland availability checkers are still saying it will be ready only within 'the next 6 months' with an ETA having been given through the grapevine as July 2015.
Is it possible that the cabinet is powered-up but fibre hasn't yet reached either it or the exchange yet? Seems strange to build and power it on so far in advance of whatever other critical link is currently holding things up.
Original ETA for this area was June 2014 so presumably someone found a gremlin somewhere. There's even planning permission granted for two new cabinets inside the grounds of the exchange for the EOs to be dealt with.
Affected postal code for your amusement: PA35 1JQ (The Visitation church is on this cab)
Best,
A
