Nothing anywhere near the southwest I see!
Never thought I'd be happy to be living in Watford..
no no swansea?
i mean it is one off the biggest places in wales, and they are upgrading rhonda? i mean who even lives there?
our boiler broke so we has no heating or hot water, this is the bloody result ^^
Only 2012 for full roll out. Thats not too long. I remember the road maps for ISDN and ADSL, and they were the same three year plans. Time flew by in the end.
I am getting older now though, does time fly quicker or slower as we get older???
As I sugested in the previous thread, in reply to the initial roll out, there is much to consider when rolling out something like this.
• Lead time on exchange equipment: All this gear is probably built to order and has long lead times from the manufacturers, also costs a lot per unit. Perhaps Rhonda only needs 3 units*and they had 3 spare in the next batch on order.
• Space in the exchange: if Rhonda is a small exchange, there could well be loads of space left over when they moved from a physical circuit swithed exchange to an all digital backbone. I know this is the case in Aboyne (aberdeenshire). My grandad used to run the exchange, and the digital setup, when I saw it about 20 years ago, was a 10th of the size of the original circuit switched version. I believe they still have that old room empty. A large urban exchange is perhaps more likely to have used up that spare space, or even sold it off years ago.
• Complications: There is no point in doing all the easy ones first. Better to do a veriety of exchanges that meat different profiles so they can solve the issue and learn from them. this may benefit the rest of the network when the rollout reaches you.
• Lucky dip? well, you never know, some of the choices could just be at random
* I have no idea, these numbers are purely for illustration.
Wonder how many people from Watford think the same !!!
What people in this thread are forgetting, is that this is the 2nd stage or rollouts by the look of it.
A quick use of google-fu has found that there is a list of another 29 exchanges with London on there (Animus... chill now mate your sorted

Gah! Brewster!
Why did you have to bump the original rollout thread instead of commenting on the 2nd stage rollout. Kind of makes Lee and my comments above a little meaningless.

If i was on the exchange to the north, the west or the east i'd be on it, but i'm not
In all honesty i doubt i would want more than say 40mbit of proper internet, if it was say £1.50 per mbit which is very roughtly what i pay for mine now, id probably only go that fast. Most servers tend to be throttling me back on my 6-8mbit obtained from my 24mbit Be line.

Reckon i will be taking it up (i saw in the other thread they also rolling out in Greenwich, London) - am i right in saying i wouldn't need a phone line? can just have fibre bb like with virgin?
