Neither piece of information is available for your exchange, ie not for some time in English.

BT have updated the target date for the 21CN PSTN switchover to Q3 2011 for the Driffield exchange so, sometime after that, I would think.

they did have it as 30 march 2010 for wbc but that has vanished.

I'd rather stay in rual yorkshire than move to a city or large town though.

There's no method in BT's madness, though, so even if you did move, unless you went to an area already live, you might still wait as long.

We used several this winter for the foodstuffs we store in the garage, Ray. They're also good for keeping drinks cool in summer.
