there’s where I originally posted the links. I think the way there’s a forum AND a comments column for a group means that one gets neglected, in this case the forum. maybe one of the site admins could put a permalink for things like this somewhere more accessible.

Mapping: 1 year, 3 months agoHi guys
I have only recently been able to get another look at the discussions on here. I created the maps found in the group which are the subject of much blasting. The sources are described in the titles, but I’ll reiterate here to clear things up a little.
All the data I used to create the maps were supplied by Louis Moseley in a…[Read more]

Mapping: 1 year, 9 months agoI would expect BT’s checker to be optimistic also. I guess the problem with ISP’s own speed checks is that it is also based on theoretical speeds (distance to the exchange/cabinet). The maps I have created are probably similar in concept to their method and so may produce unrealistic results. The only way to get [...]

in general the BT number checker is pessimistic on non-connected lines. When you get right out to the fringes of coverage it does say things like ”should be able to have” and ”where possible”.

James Nunn posted an update in the group
Mapping: 1 year, 9 months agoI understand the accuracy issues with the maps, they are optimistic and based on (modified) straight-line distances to the nearest cabinet. It doesn’t take into account local circumstances like that of Walney Island, or what BT has or hasn’t said about where it will upgrade the line.
This is exactly the problem that can be solved with…[Read more]

Barry, you linked to a document with parish residents and property numbers. Do you have one for the whole of cumbria? Or know the source?

No problem. Yes they’ll be the green cabinets (also called PCP’s).
Keep in mind you are not looking for aubergines and pottery….

BT Exchange and Cabinet Locations in Cumbria
http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=124116
These locations are based on postcodes (postcode info found on the OSOpendata website), so you’ll see plenty of errors. Use the map to get a rough idea of where the cabinet or exchange is, and check it out. If you see an error, let me know…[Read more]

James, thanks for this. A grand total of two green dots in our huge parish (Matterdale). I will find out exactly where they are (not in the middle of fields!) and let you have grid references.
I guess I’m looking for some kind of green box by the roadside?

Sadly there is no facility to show a legend, but if you click on a colour, you’ll get some info on the location. The closer to an exchange or cabinet you are, the faster the speed (theoretically, though many fibre routes take an illogical route to a more distant cabinet/exchange)
You’re looking at a map for speed gains. Exchanges can’t be…[Read more]

Hi, I’ve been working with Louis Mosely and Kate Norman to get an idea about the kind of maps that would be useful for spreading information on the broadband situation. I’ve a background in GIS and mapping (and for this project, mainly Google websites) and have produced some maps which users may or may not [...]

is there a colour code for speed ? does it account for faster services available in some exchanges ?

also there’s an exchange in Shap (I haven’t checked it in detail, just noticed the big gap around Shap)

can you point us at the original forms for collecting the extra data please ?
James - thanks for the efforts here - this is very useful. I am sure forum members will work to build on and develop what you have done here.
