Well, what a disaster! Moving to a new house in October, checked broadband availability a couple weeks ago and the usual up to 80MBit FTTC packages were available from every provider. Now that we have a move date and everything is confirmed I called Vodafone to arrange for my existing connection to be moved to the new place, only to be told that service was not available at that address. Chap was helpful as he could be, and went through everything to make sure that was right as I'd said I checked a couple weeks ago and service was not available, and he said despite it being a "gold" line, there is no FTTC avaiable likely due to the cabinet being full.
I checked on several other providers websites and sure enough, no one offered FTTC, only some offering old school 8Mbit ADSL which does support the possibility that the cabinet is full.
There are no FTTP providers in the area.
Has anyone been in the same situation as this, and if so how long did it take you to get connected? I'm hoping that when the current tenant at the place moves out it'll free up a port in the cabinet, I suppose I'll just have to check daily to see if something is available!
