ojwbmorning21:23
ojwbG: thanks21:23
ojwbG: is there a way to see the actual location of the exchange, rather than just the area it covers22:01
ojwbat least for where we currently live (where I know the exchange's location) it isn't very central in its area22:05
Gojwb: iirc it shows it there22:21
Gojwb: oh it used to22:22
Gojwb: does the exchange support VDSL?22:22
ojwbG: yeah, it does22:22
Gif show, turn on the VDSL2 layer for the exchange only, should be the middle-ish of the Green Dot22:22
Gs/show/so/22:23
Gthe other way, in the out and about sense, is just look where all the Chorus vans seem to be heading ;)22:24
ojwbcurrently they all seem to be in kelson22:24
ojwbwhich is getting UFB cabling right now22:25
Goh, lucky them...22:25
Ghads: saw your tweet btw, congrats on the addition :)22:26
ojwbonce they stop severing water mains and electricity cables, yes22:26
Gojwb: here, the council do that for us :)22:27
Gthey attacked the underground phone cable to the side of the road, while resealing... which w/ all the rain, seems to have flooded over the 'fix' and is maybe now messing with the cable :(22:28
ojwboops22:29
Gojwb: but yeah, that Chorus page should give you an idea (wish they'd resize the iframe though)22:31
ojwbyeah, just knowing it has VDSL2 is a good indication I think22:37
Gojwb: the property you are looking at? lucky :)22:42
