Hi,
When can I expect to be able to receive BT Infinity in Slough / SL25JA / Kendal Drive?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey
Dream-on for people in Slough !! BT Fibre will take another few decades for Slough, unless you want to move to another area where you get Virgin Cable Fibre.
It must be you. The OPs postcode can get Infinity.
Use this checker. Check to see what cabinet you are on. It could be that you are on an exchange line which would mean you can not get Infinity until they put in new cabinets at or in the exchange which won't be happening any time soon.

After few years I checked this again and as usual BT OpenReach keeps on fooling the public of Slough.
The system checker now states the infinity to be available by 31st May 2014 for that cabinet.
I have been checking this since 2010 and everytime OpenReach keeps on delaying, so for example now they say May 31st 2014, come June 2014 the system would show more delayed dates. They are telling us the project manager responsible to deliver on the upgrade deadline can do whetever they want as they have no obligation to provide fibre service to normal end consumer, however they will be glad to jump on any tax payers funds provided by the government to upgrade Britain's poor internet infrastructure.
