Re: How big are VM's infills?
Ignitionet, read your blog about your area, didn't realise you were in a new build, does throw new light on past posts...
I'm not clear though, are you receiving a FTTC service now? There are now two FTTC cabinets in your area, but you didn't say whether one of them was the one you wanted, ie cabinet 82???

The two FTTC cabinets are both connected to PCP 82.
Each FTTC cabinet can hold 288 connections. There are ~450 FTTC connections coming off PCP 82.

Per my services box yes. I've business FTTC that runs at 64/19 give or take.
I did have 2 of them but cancelled one to allow another person to use the port. Cabinets are regularly full as uptake is high.
My main driver for wanting a cable or other service is resiliency as I'm a home worker. Having 2 FTTC lines that may come from the same cabinet via the same copper cable into the home and going through the same copper back to the cabinet, then fibre within the same ducts back to the exchange where they terminate on the same switch isn't ideal.

Re: How big are VM's infills?
...no, of course not.
I'm assuming by lack of telegraph poles on your estate, that there are underground ducts, when I assume BT now own as opposed to the developer.
Putting a positive spin on things, at least you may in the future get upgraded to FTTP. It's a lot easier with ducts, rather than blokes being sent up poles which is what the wider MIddleton area has. So, after all the wait, you may in the end get a much better service.
Glad its all sorted.

The properties are all fully ducted. I have the cabling plans for some of the development.

Re: How big are VM's infills?
From what I'm hearing sounds like VM are somewhat 'annoyed' with how things are going in Leeds and it's debatable how much further their patience can be stretched before they pack it in and find friendlier climes.
It was all going so well...

Some streetworks porn for those so inclined.
EDIT: Heh, just realised, those 3 BT cabinets in the photo, there are now 2 VM cabinets nearby, one across the larger road, one across the smaller side road.

Middleton near as damnit finished. On to the FTTP builds in the 'villages' to the east of the city now.

I take it they aren't particularly rural then? What are some of these "villages" called? I would be interested to look them up at Google Maps. Would maybe give me a hint as to Virgin's plans round here.

Thanks, I've managed to find all of those places. Some are much smaller than I expected with a few miles of countryside to the nearest VM network. Do you think the villages will be RFoG? What do you think is the thinking in serving villages with RFoG and more built up areas with HFC? I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't just do the lot using RFoG.
