Shift OpenReach fibre connection
on 26-08-2024 10:22 AM
Message 77 of 77
When I had my Full Fibre installation I had not appreciated how little the fibre could be bent - unlike a copper cable. In the event, as my router etc. is sited centrally in my house, the fibre is running through a downstairs toilet to reach the router location where there is power for the NTU. I have not been able to find a way to protect / disguise the fibre particularly where it goes round corners to follow the wall.
To solve the problem I have installed at gigabit Cat5e cable from another part of the house with easy access through the same exterior wall and with power available for the NTU.
My questions are; how do I go about arranging for OpenReach to do the shift and what are the likely costs?
If anyone can help with advice, that would be great.
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your help. I just hope that they don't give up after one attempt given that the signal around here can be a bit 'flaky'.

Hi Chris,
I know that it is only just afternoon but being Friday I would rather not leave things over the weekend. Still no call since the one on Wednesday at 10.47am.
How do we now proceed?
Best wishes,
Chris

HI Michelle,
Thanks for your interest. I missed a call from Talktalk yesterday and the voicemail message that was left asked me to call back but didn't leave a number. When I called the number that had called me, there was just a message to say that I would get another call. I am confused - do you have a contact number for the LVR team?
Take care and stay safe,
Chris

Hi Karl,
If you could do that for me it would be really helpful. What information do you need?

Hi
We can submit an LVR request form here and the Team then make contact with you to arrange.
Thanks
Karl.

HI Karl,
Once again many thanks for the prompt attention to my post. Can you advise the best way to contact the LVR team? I must admit that I prefer email or text if those are available options.
Take care and kind regards,
Chris

Hi
You can arrange via TalkTalk, we have an LVR team that would arrange this, however as it's bank holiday today, they may not be online. LVR is the name Openreach give to this - Low Volume Request, meaning it's not a fault report.
Standard lead time for Openreach to do this is around 10 - 14 days.

HI Karl,
Thanks for your prompt response (and on a Bank Holiday) - it is much appreciated. Given that I am a Talktalk customer do I need to arrange the shift through Talktalk or direct with OpenReach?

Hi
Openreach may be able to relocate the socket however they will charge £128 for this option.
Thanks
Karl.
