Since the pre-registration scheme was introduced back in June 2002, 909,087 unique pre-registrations have been entered into BT's systems. As a result of this, 2734 exchanges will have been enabled (includes those with RFS dates). Since the November 17th announcement of 2300 new trigger levels, BT have seen an unprecedented number of exchanges triggering. Six weeks ago this figure peaked at 96 triggers in one week. It has been in decline since then, as shown by the following graph.
Back in November 2003 this site began taking pre-registrations for ADSL. This proved immensely popular with campaigners. So much so that as of today the site has taken 70,295 pre-registrations. In recent weeks I have begun plotting the number of registrations taken by this site daily, and produced this graph as a result:
The blue bar is the total registrations taken by BT per day. The red bar is the registrations taken by this site alone. The red bar is essentially a subset of the blue one. This goes to show just how popular the registration system on this site has become with campaigners.
I would like to thank Eclipse Internet and Zen Internet in particular for their help with the data for this site. Without them, the figures would have never updated as often, and the pre-registration forms simply wouldn't exist.
I've had a lot of emails today asking me what will be happening to the site and myself. Well, to be frank I'm not entirely sure yet, but the site certainly won't be going anywhere just yet. It will be nice to have a bit a lull actually, especially with more University exams looming! The past six months have not only been the busiest of my life, but also some of the most fulfilling. I look forward to the next challenge! |
