O well it doesnt sound like im going to have a good time with the whole phone connection. Water has been a hassle as well. And £1000 pound for very little!
I've found the electricity folk efficient, timely and pleasant to deal with for getting a new line put in.Utilities are a pita unfortunately .
I am, this minute, awaiting to be 'assigned an agent as soon as one is available' on Live Chat to report a fault on the house landline. BT having failed to enable me to report the (quite simple) fault online.
Update: 'Atanu' assures me the fault will be 'resolved' by 26th Aug.
Lectrics were good for me.had to have industrial supply and they could not do enough fir me.even had mob number for chap running it.water was a pain.had to have road closure and notice in the paper and come the day nothing happened.some twit had got a number wrong on paperwork so whole process had to start again
Nick...
that is exactly what happened to me except that I didn't laughI laughed when i was told my 'order' of a telephone line would be complete that day and to just wait until the end of the working day, not only was there no phone line installed yet, the duct hadn't been connected and UKPN had already backfilled the trench the day before....
Stuff a fibre line in maybe? Three phase worth it too? We did three phase and when (if!) I can afford a half decent workshop it will be handy.
fudge bt , chances are the download is crap ... get mobile broadband
I was waiting for adsl and Sky said i couldn't have it in our area, only fibre, the reason.... their service used to be so shocking they had to just stop offering adsl HA HA HA
edit to add: the last run from the cabinet will be same cable anyway, it's all FTTC (fibre to the cabinet)
. I looked at the 4g EE router for the speed but at 40 odd quid a month for limited data I thought it a little rich.
He says contact our provider and they ll get in touch with openreach when we are ready.
Thats what i was thinking!Approximately here is where it will go wrong....
