Time-scale, up here! I wish. Things tend to move at geological speeds here, should have had the first turbine tubes going past us last August, they still haven't sorted the road for them yet, and BT have to replace the cable first. I retire in 4-5 years time and have to move as house comes with job so may have it done by then!!
May try fitting the faceplate next time the weather gets bad as the line will probably drop then anyway so shouldn't interfere too much.
