Where I live we have a revised date of 31/12/11 for infinity and yesterday about a mile away notice that finally the plinth and ducts have been installed (as first photograph) for the VDSL cabinet. The word 'dslam' had been sprayed on the footpath since June!

What I would like to know is that does every existing street cabinet require a VDSL cabinet or can one VDSL cabinet serve several existing street cabinets? The reason I ask is further down the road is 'our cabinet' and there is no sign of a new cabinet popping up around it. Exploratory work has been done because other services have been identified by markings on the footpath.

Also do BT bring the fibre from the exchange separetely to each cabinet or run a multifibre cable to an area and then off to each VDSL cabinet (our exchange is nearly 3 miles away)!

Thanks,

Tony
