Re: New connection delayed

Hi there,

 

Sme fibre orders can complete in a minimul of 10-12 working days but some do take longer purely due to engineer availability in each area.

 

I'm sorry to see yours falls into the latter category, there's definitely an issue with how we've handled your expectations here so I will look into how we've done that and pass on some feedback where needed.

We'll make sure the initial fee you've paid up front doesn't start until your services activate with us.

Re: New connection delayed

A new line installation would cost £49.99 and it's still subject to engineer availability. Sad
