An engineer came out and set it up for me.<BR /><BR />Now i've been told I can upgrade my broadband so I've chosen Full Fibre 500 and I'm told an engineer will come out to install (3hours installation)<BR /><BR />Does this mean they will dig up the garden/path for this? I'm not sure if I have FTTP or FTTC.<BR />They've not asked for permission or anything either.</P> Mon, 13 Jun 2022 00:39:10 GMT mcguiganjosef 2022-06-13T00:39:10Z https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/Do-I-need-an-engineer-to-dig-up-my-path-in-order-to-get-an/m-p/2236420#M337465 <P>I currently have a package called Fibre 2 with BT.

Visually no different from overhead copper lines if you have that.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 13 Jun 2022 06:14:37 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/Do-I-need-an-engineer-to-dig-up-my-path-in-order-to-get-an/m-p/2236427#M337466 spile 2022-06-13T06:14:37Z https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/Do-I-need-an-engineer-to-dig-up-my-path-in-order-to-get-an/m-p/2236429#M337467 <P>Depending on how your copper cable is run to your house they may be able to use the same route. If thy end up having to dig and lay a new duct they will re instate the path/garden to how it was.</P> <P>By virtue of the fact you have ordered the product it is assumed you are giving permission to install it.</P> <P>Discuss with engineer when he/she calls to install it and if you don't want it instslled because of the method of instalation just cancel it.</P> Mon, 13 Jun 2022 06:57:43 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/Do-I-need-an-engineer-to-dig-up-my-path-in-order-to-get-an/m-p/2236429#M337467 gg30340 2022-06-13T06:57:43Z https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/Do-I-need-an-engineer-to-dig-up-my-path-in-order-to-get-an/m-p/2236486#M337478 If you post the results for your phone number , or address if the phone number isn’t recognised at<BR /><A href="https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL" target="_blank">https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL</A><BR />It should show what sort of install ( overhead or underground ) and if it’s a straightforward install or there are potential issues to overcome .
