pah, s8 8rd, crap, they'd sell you anything, no scruples, no fibre!
As I have worked on DSLAM exchange equipment but not street cabs, I was wondering if you could clear up a question I have. The new DSLAM street cabs I have seen that are positioned next to the existing 'copper' street cabs seem to have a problem of capacity, in that, if everyone in a given area decided to go for FTTC the new cabs would have insufficient DSLAMs to terminate all the existing customers, so the question is what percentage of copper customers could go over to FTTC before the new cab runs out of DSLAMS?I work for Openreach and maintain these DSLAM's
in woodseats mike, def not one of those on our little cul-de-sac! will use the postcode checker, but 3.3mbps in one of the biggest cities in the country is very very poor
Milli-bits-per-second??
ha thanks mike, the 2.52mbps is on the road next down from me!! the higher speeds seem to be cabled streets near the main roads

Most of the smaller FTTC cabinets have 256 copper pairs going to them. Each subscriber needs two pairs from the new cabinet so they only contain 128 mini DSLAMs. The expansion plan is indeed to erect a new cabinet!As I have worked on DSLAM exchange equipment but not street cabs, I was wondering if you could clear up a question I have.
