Failed Fibre Installation

The engineer duly arrived (not from Open Reach but a contractor) he spent a while trying to get the line to "Sync" as he put it, he tried on 2 different modems with no luck, he then returned to the cabinet to check everything was in order
He eventually returned and tried again, no joy!
He then checked on his mobile 'phone and discovered there was a fault on the copper line that had already been reported, he told me that although it had not affected my ADSL connection, it did have adverse affect on a fibre connection, he then rang Open Reach.
He left saying that he would go back to the cabinet and return me to my normal B/B connection, I asked what would happen next and he said Open Reach would have to rectify the line fault and then complete the fibre installation
The problem is he did not know when Open Reach would do the necessary work? Obviously as a sub-contractor he was not in a position to get any dates off O.R.
Can someone please find out what is happening. (user = malnor)

The Open-Reach engineer has been today and checked the copper wire connection for faults, both internally and externally, he did not find a problem with either.
He eventually found a fault at the cabinet, there is a faulty unit which needs to be replaced, unfortunately there was not a spare unit available for him to install, he did say it would not take long to get one.
As direct customer contact is not possible with Open Reach it has to go via Plusnet, if you would continue keeping an eye on things it would be very much appreciated.

Open-Reach have yet to complete my fibre connection, no visit or contact from them.
We should have been connected on June 2nd, I'm afraid my patience with Open-Reach is wearing a bit thin.
Could you give them a push, it seems they are in no hurry unless they are chased up.
Regards,
Malc.

I have just paid my latest bill, which assumes I am receiving a fibre connection and have been charged as such.
Will someone please find out what's happening????

I've just had a look over the account and the order and the only information I've got at the moment is the same note from the 2nd June stating there is a delay.
I've dropped Matthew an email as he seems to have more information on this, he's back in on Monday so I'll follow up with him then.

Still no news on my fibre installation, I trust you had better luck than me re. your email to Matthew, I emailed him too but haven't had an answer yet.
Today it is exactly 2 weeks since the attempt to connect me to fibre took place.
To be frank this whole episode is becoming a joke, as an ex. manager I always understood the importance of communication, especially to customers.
Maybe some of the younger Plusnet staff should be taught how important communication really is!!

Sorry for the delays in getting back in touch, I've checked for an update on the order. An engineer has been out on the 15th and found a fault with the order. Im contacting the suppliers for an update now. shouldn't be long

Many thanks for keeping me informed of where we are with Open-Reach, your answer and the 'phone call were much appreciated.
Best Regards,

Open Reach engineer connected me to fibre this afternoon, but speed readings a bit strange, download roughly as per ADSL upload way up, see attachment, will check again tomorrow morning.
In the meantime I would like to thank you for getting me connected to Fibre, you're a star.
Regards,
Malcolm
