To be fair, the FTTC cab at the end of my street (which is definitely the FTTC one as it was only installed a few weeks ago and Warrington is to go live pretty much any day now) looks exactly like the one in this pic and doesn't have any white sticker on it either.

That being said, I'm sure this isn't the first time telford has switched to FTTC.

The one that was being built down the road from me was stopped as they were going to build it up against a home owners fence and it would have stopped him maintaining his fence. The owner of that fence has told them to sod off and put up a big sign on his fence to say that. BT are now looking for another spot close by

Bit strange really cos virgin media told me that my area is now on 120/12 and also it say on the website when placed an order it say my area is up to 120Mb available.

But my superhub still on 100/10?

Please don't leave us TC, what are we going to do without you? One of the reasons I come here is to try and keep track of what package you're on and what you'll be on in your next post. It was only last week in this post that you were getting a refund so you could avoid the price rises on your 30Mb. As you've changed package did VM ask for the £30 back?

Cheers

Hahah! I'd write BT a letter saying if they supply a phone line and connection for free for life to my property, they can have it.

The FTTC is live no matter if it had a white sticker or not. It does went live as I can hear the whinning fan noise. Even BT Wholesale checker say I can order now.

Awww thanks. But I always want a FTTC because of better ping for gaming, better upload, no traffic management on Plusnet.

Plusnet order had been submit to BT. Activation and installation date: 19th September while my cable disconnected on the 27th September. BT number not recognised on BT checker as plusnet say use the post code and address instead as BT don't deal with virgin media telephone number.

no worry as plusnet say my area FTTC was already live four months ago because BT checker post code didnt metion FTTC but the address with post code does metion FTTC as BT are crafty as I couldn't put telephone number because BT do not recognised virgin media phone number. BT will activated BT line with FTTC on the 19th september with new phone number.

Virgin Media was offering me 120/12 for £19 a month with 12 months contract with discount loyalty of £16 a month off. But I say no thanks when I was called up to disconnected service. They try to phone me back five times today from 08000 013 5333 try to get me staying with them.

The name of your exchange makes me laugh every time you post it

Congrats on the upcoming FTTC upgrade

telfordcable · 28-08-2013, 20:52

Yeah my exchange is cuckoo oak (strange name) thanks but I hope BT Engineer doing great job as my green new FTTC cabinet is only 50 metre away from my house.
