Two more exchanges suffer RFS delays

23 Jun 2004 | 18.34 Europe/London
Two exchanges in Wales have become the latest to fall foul of delays in Ready For Service dates. Trefnant and Caerwys have had their dates moved to the 28th July. Trefnant was supposed to be enabled today. As this map shows, the two exchanges are in close proximity. The table below shows the original RFS dates and the new one.

















Exchange Old RFS date New RFS date
Trefnant 23/06/2004 28/07/2004
Caerwys 07/07/2004 28/07/2004

The delay is said to be due to insufficient SDH (fibre-optic backhaul) capacity being available.
