Re: Landlines are going digital

My timeline is here:

In my case as I was not reading emails hourly, the router arrived before I knew it had been sent.

Re: Landlines are going digital

You were correct. (Sorry, I tried to quote Baldrick1's post, did not work)

 

The Openreach installer was unable to get me connected to full fibre today.

He did drill a hole in the front wall, fix a grey box on the front wall and fixed

the cable to my skirting board up to the double socket.

 

There needs to be some ground works on the pavement and then to my property.

I am pleased to still have Broadband working.

Re: Landlines are going digital

I received a text from Plusnet saying the engineer is booked in for July 28th.

 

Openreach also sent a text saying they will be in touch in the next 10 days regarding the groundwork.

 

Hopefully they can get the groundwork completed before the Plusnet appointment on July 28 and

before my current Broadband contract runs out on August 16th.

Re: Landlines are going digital

Openreach/groundwork turned up today unannounced and they could not understand why the engineer did not use the available duct to get me connected to fibre on 29th of May.

They installed the cable to my front door without needing to dig up the pavement or my front garden.

Hopefully I will not need to wait until July 28th to get up and running.

@greengrass 

I would wait until tomorrow to allow OR systems to update and then phone PN to see if you can advance the install date.

 

Alternatively if you have an Open Question on you Members page you could update that and ask for new install date.
