Central 5,6 & 7

Does anyone know when Central 5, 6 and 7 are due to go live?

It won't be just yet Deckard.
They've only just fired up the first segment of Central 4.
Could be a few months yet.

It will definitely be a few months (plus) :)

The Central list on Enta's NOC site is more a statement of intent than a true road map with a time scale.

The extra Centrals will depend on inward customer migration to the various resellers. Bear in mind the annual rental of a 622 Central from BT is close to £1.5 when all 4 segments are lit, so it takes quite a few customers to soak up a cost like that. Another thing to remember is the lead time of approx. 3 months from the time of ordering a Central to the time it's ready to go on stream.

As Robbie said, Central 4 has just 1 segment on stream at present, with the other 3 segments in reserve. It's a fine balancing act between supplying the demand for bandwidth and having the revenue stream to pay for it.

Ircsum.
