Its been explained to me on tbb now.
Basically when a exchange is enabled, isp's have to order a GEA connection before they can sell fiber services of their own.
It seems it can take anything from a few days up to many months, eg. one person had infinity available in august 2011 but only 3 months ago could order sky fiber.
Now sky are also probably waiting for the exchange to be officialy enabled.
On the checks.
openreach checker says not enabled yet
BT wholesale says enabled
Infinity says enabled
Other isps (that I checked) say not enabled.
I now ordered infinity. I do have concerns, like people reporting several ip changes a week (as bad as dialup), and what the routing will be like. But their line rental is £5 cheaper than sky and its avialble for me to order now and I dont have patience
For the ip issue I do have a workaround (its not for hosting its for ip based ACL's.) but still I hope my connection isnt going to be dropping several times a week.
I dont have an install date, seems BT's policy is to ring up to sort that out.
So I was wrong, I thought it was just a case of sky's system's lagging on fttc availability but they do actually have to order a GEA connection.
