It may seem pedantic but if you haven’t ordered a service from BT then this forum isn’t the appropriate place for you , even more so if the order isn’t even with an Openreach based provider, CF may leech onto Openreach assets under PIA but the BTw checker shows what the Openreach surveyor deemed the appropriate comment at the time of the survey with regard to Openreach policy and a potential Openreach installation , it could be months or years between the Openreach survey and OR FTTP service being available, so the environment may have changed in the meantime anyway.
City Fibre don’t use Openreach survey returns even if the CF equipment is located on or in an Openreach asset , hence the pointlessness of referring to the BTw checker for a failed CF order .
‘Line of sight , other’ simply means an obstacle or impediment has the potential to restrict Openreach in the provision of the overhead drop cable , the fact that it’s not Line of sight , trees ‘ may be relevant or may be irrelevant, especially if the obstacle seems to be a tree , it ultimately may be a distinction without a difference, the Openreach procedure is the same in both cases , potentially a two stage installation ( if selected by the survey) , the first stage to investigate and provide the mitigation to whatever the line of sight obstacle the survey found ….in many cases the survey will be ‘cautious’ , the first stage visit may determine that the overhead provision needs no special measures put in place anyway ….but ( and this can’t be stressed enough ) CF do whoever they want , their own process may be entirely different to OR , and CF installation problems are absolutely of no consequence to BT customers or even Openreach , what will never happen is CF referring to OR to ask OR to implement the line of sight mitigation that OR have noted , to make the CF installation problem go away , if a CF installation fails , nobody within BT or OR are involved, or care, if CF independently decided that they need to put mitigation in place to provide service ( or tell the customer they can’t have service because they don’t want to put this mitigation in place ) that has nothing to do with BT or OR …..mitigation could be many things including , new feeder pole , new duct , wayleave from neighbours to use their property to ‘bounce’ a cable off , etc. etc,
