Yes it is. The fibre cabinets can only take a certain number of connections - this is often less than the PCP it is connected to. It could be that the cabinet simply needs a new line card installing along with a tie pair cable to enable more subscribers. However, it's also possible a new cabinet will be required. This can happen when Openreach underestimate demand and install a small 128 line cab. I've read of the larger 288 line cabs becoming full necessitating the installation of another twin, too.

I guess that explains why it's mysteriously disappeared again. Oh well.

Could be considering its still under construction and various other providers clog it up.

I think Ofcom has ruined BT's finances to roll out Broadband, too much competition has short changed BT over the years.

Their profits wouldn't suggest that.

I was looking at the fibre box thingy in my area today and BT have put the Fibre Broadband is here sticker on it now (which I guess is the same as your ordinary infinity)

Is there any chance of me getting FTTP on Demand when it comes out?
The exchange is just across the road about 25 meters how much could that cost?

Probably you are talking hundreds of pounds.

[fmradiotuner1]

That is not good then.
It might be much cheaper option to get new phone and 4G maybe
