Fibre Cabinets in Wittering
After a comment made on the blog by Steve I had a quick drive up to Wittering and found two BT FTTC Superfast cabinets :-
These may be coming into service in the next few days, as the Yarwell cab has been fibred and powered up and Nassington have been told service is "imminent". You can see which cabinet you are connected to via the BT ADSL Number checker for example Café Delight is on Cabinet 3 :
Telephone Number 01780784822 on Exchange WANSFORD is served by Cabinet 3
To get one of these services you'll have to upgrade or change ISP to one offering a suitable Fibre based or "Superfast" service, BT Infinity being one option. There will probably be a minimum 12 or 18 month contract to cover Openreach's minimum term for cabinet connections.
Sky and Talk Talk may take a little longer to provide a service as they do it slightly differently using their own kit in Wansford exchange with a handover from BT's fibre to the cabinets, however at the time of writing both Sky and Talk Talk systems are offering me fibre off the new cabinets. If you're with either of these two, or fancy switching to them, give them a buzz.
Typically packages will offer "up to 38" or "up to 76" MBits/s in the downstream direction with 2, 10 or 20 MBits/s (approx.) in the upstream direction. Not all combinations exist, and there are other options like priority traffic and ISP's GB per month bundles. Expect to pay about £40 per month for line rental and superfast broadband together, with offers like reduced price for 6 months for new customers.
Example of Talk Talk offer for their cheapest service :-

In fact while typing this I see that at least some Wittering residents also have FTTC services available, Café Delight can order a predicted 60M service :-Telephone Number 01780784822 on Exchange WANSFORD is served by Cabinet 3

FTTC Cabinet appears in Wansford
As well as the Gigaclear activity, with their fibre run all but complete past the Doctors, a new BT FTTC cabinet has appeared looking rather lonely on the side of the road at the junction :-
This will be the "fibre twin" for the newly installed PCP cabinet "Cabinet 10" a bit further up the road on the other side - this will intercept lines connected directly to the exchange and not via an established cabinet.
Also today BT's contractors were braving the rain and hooking up the cabinet in Yarwell to fibre from Wansford :-
