I'm a EO line. Approx 2.5km from exchange. Local OR guy said they're due to strap cabs to the exchange front as to be fair you see outside every exchange. Of course at those cable lengths it makes no difference at all.
My cable passes a cab approx 300m from house. OR quoted 2k to slice it which I attempted to put under the previous voucher scheme and was rejected despite serving 141 premises as I didn't waste the time gaining their support. Eventually we piaed fibre to the dc so I'm fine. Rest of surrounding minus my immediate neighbours are stuck on barely double digits sync speed. Or move one street up and have just shy of 80Mb.

Not sure there's a plan for in-exchange DSLAMs for EO lines yet...? Not that it would help me, grateful for 17Mbit/sec (so long as the copper doesn't get wet in the rain), because my PCP^Wcabinet^Wsawn-off-lamppost is https://fs.maz.nu/chorlton-cabinet-42.jpg -- Marek Isalski CTO, Faelix Limited, https://faelix.net/ Faelix Limited: Security, Networks & Software.
