Re: New customer

If you previously had fibre then there should be no need for a visit by openreach, but if you are upgrading from adsl to fibre then you will need a visit, things need to be done at the cab and tested at your home.

Welcome to the forum by the way 😁

Hello @muttley1953

Thanks a lot for reaching out. I've just had a look at the orders we've placed and can confirm that it's not a working line takeover, so access to the property will be needed. There's no "customer installation" activity on the order on Openreach's side either, so I'd disregard those messages for now.

@Den1 during the provisioning process, the only time that an engineer would require access to the property is when a new Openreach line is being installed / activated. If we're taking  over a working line, access to the property is not required regardless of whether they're upgrading / downgrading their broadband product. Smiley
