Sorry BarCar

I was trying to find the most up-to-date information. It has not been easy as BT have reduced the frequency of publishing the more regular updates that were once the norm.

http://fttc-check.alc.im/

This link will enable you to enter your postcode (without gaps) and give you the proposed position - although with some caution, the info may be 3-6 months old.

It will not tell you precisely when the install will become available but will specify what Phase your cabinet will be in. For the record Phase 5b became available in Jan 12 and Phase 5c in March 12.

It will also advise whether you will get FTTC or FTTP and what uplift (or multiplier) you will obtain on your current speed.

A strong tip - ensure that you obtain BT's written estimate of FTTP/C speed before you sign your new contract.
