Checking the exchanges in that ISPreview link shows that my local exchange was originally planned for December 2011 in the September 2010 list. It's now showing as December 2012. Looks like VM don't have a monopoly on project slippages.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

anyone in LE3 area seen any openreach work been done yet? It be interesting as usually seeing BT vans around here is very rare, they more concetrated in the shorter line areas.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Best look out for markings on pavements near cabs.
Most of the civils will be done by subbies so no BT involvement until intergration.
I wouldnt expect anything until late summer at the earliest though!

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I agree it wont be within next few months as otherwise the exchange would be coming soon status which it isnt.

since my cab isnt too far away I can keep an eye on it and report any changes,

I'm still waiting for a response on the community forum. Unfortunately, somebody else decided to start posting on there, thus pushing me back. Last post date was the 14th, so with a bit of luck I'll get a response come Monday or Tuesday.

Connection is pretty much unusable between 5-9pm. MrsTD is Unhappy. I'm desperately hoping the students going home at the end of next week will at least give us a respite over the Christmas period and I won't get shot. The flipside of this is that if VM look at the utilisation at this time, it'll all appear fine... :/

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I was once told I kid you not that if in a student area and utilisation is high just when students are there VM dont consider 9 months worth of congestion a year as sufficient to carry out upgrades as its considered temporary.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Hmmm. Well, it's been working fine since Friday just gone (had my dates out by a week) but there's an engineer coming this evening to tweak my upstream power levels. I'm sure that once the st00dents return in January my connection will go to poop again but I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it.

I was able to use YouTube last night - it's a miracle!
