New exchange online in Swindon

Posted: Sunday 16th September 2007 by Sam
The brand new Haydon Wick exchange finally came online this week after repeated delays. The exchange has been built to "accommodate growth in the area following commencement of a significant building development" (See original BT Openreach announcement from April).

About 2500 lines are being transferred from the neighbouring Blunsdon exchange. The following phone number prefixes will be affected:

01793 72xxxx
01793 700xxx
01793 701xxx
01793 702xxx
01793 703xxx
01793 704xxx

For more details of the developments and struggles involved in bringing this exchange online, see this thread on the ThinkBroadband message boards.
