I've seen it happen in some exchange areas - previously EO lines, new PCPs dropped outside the exchange (along with an FTTC cab) and the EO lines pulled back to the cabinet. Seems to be a way around the ANFP not allowing VDSL directly from the exchange. Rob
Re: [uknof] FTTC roll out logic?
The NGA roll out is focused on the consumer market and return. I suspect your location would have been delivered under one of the rural extension schemes which I think would be HIE in your area. See my slides at -2 Uknofs for the wider build picture in Scotland.

Coming from 7mb/s~ down and 1.5mb/s~ up to 66mb/s down and 20mb/s up is amazing. What a difference this has made when working at home. This is running on a Juniper SRX100 and Vigor 130 into plus.net. We peer with plus.net on LONAP and LINX so my traffic to our network (AS199659) is fast. Another point is that if I put in our own realm/username/password it comes in to our LNS's, which is cool (it's BT Wholesale circuits). I've kept it separate for now though. I watched eagerly when the cabinet went up and even went down (right geek) and chatted to the Openreach guys. That was March 1st, which took a further 3 months until we could place the order. The Openreach tech was late yesterday for the 8am-1pm slot, so I went down to the exchange and grabbed him. All good and very happy. My point is that this is in a small village called Rothienorman with one of those small brown shed type exchanges (forget the correct name). I can't get FTTC in our main office in Aberdeen, the heart of the Oil and Gas sector in Europe. How does this selection process for upgrading exchanges get decided?!?

Some have posited the following 1. Money - upgrade locations where there is business case in terms of density of end users with available cash to spend 2. Market Protection - Upgrade where VM have coverage, where other 3rd parties are deploying their solution and at the same time don't upgrade business areas (unless you have to) to stop Ethernet losses 3. Politics - because either someone is paying you to do the work or its the only way to shut someone up But isn't it Openreach doing these? Are the rollout plans given to Ofcom and justified to Ofcom? That's their job to oversee this. When will the minimum legal of 2mb/s access get increased?
