Delayed FTTP install, zero/bad communication
on 19-12-2024 04:48 PM
Message 69 of 69
My FTTP install needs a dig for a lead in duct, which I already knew as my copper line is partially direct in ground. It took Openreach a week to come out to do the preinstall/survey, and obviously my install is now delayed.
But I have received no communication it was delayed, the first I knew it was delayed is when I logged into my account.
So I started a chat to see what kind of ETA the delay would be, all that happened was the chat rep copied a note on the Openreach system that said the job would be passed on to someone after 5 days and to check back in 5 days (I guess is for talk talk to check back with Openreach in 5 days).
At this point I am seriously having to consider whether to keep with this, with no kind of indication of timescale it might just be less hassle to accept virgin media retention offer.
