Re: FTTP installation delay woes
So we were originally having our phone line and broadband turned on, on the 14th Aug 23. Here I am after a month of going to and fro with open reach and upgrading our original order from 1 to 4 meg to the 900mbps package. Still nothing other than our phone line working and having 0.5 mbps speeds, I can't even open a Facebook notification without waiting minutes for it. I've had 3 different texts saying about its 4 working days, then 8 working days and today another 7 working days text. Open reach told us that fttp was available to us but couldn't put a time on when it would be available..since then BT have compensated us £40 but growing very frustrated as my partner works from home so I'm getting it in the neck there as well. Anyone recommend anything? I'm chasing them up(BT) today to see if they know anymore..thanks for any help given

Hi @MrHudson2U welcome to the community and thanks for posting. I'm really sorry about the delay in providing your full fibre broadband. Can you post the results from this availability checker? Make sure to remove your number when posting the results.
Thanks
Neil

Re: FTTP installation delay woes
It will be a 2 stage install. If you are not supplied via a duct may involve a dig for one and fibre supplied to an outside wall. Then an engineer will follow up to supply and connect inside equipment.

Re: FTTP installation delay woes
How old is the property, since around 1990 most properties were fully ducted , 1960’s to late 1980’s are usually DIG ( direct in ground ) and much more work required than later built property, your survey note is a little inconclusive.
With KCI 2 , a long lead time should be supplied and the first visit isn’t the contractual date for service, it’s supposed to allow OR time to visit and arrange whatever preparatory work is required to supply service, before the contractual date arrives, it also ( for example ) between the first and second dates , it gives the consumer the option to cancel , if ( for example ) on the first visit it’s pointed out that the newly laid driveway would need to be excavated because whoever built it covered the existing duct entry ,
If OR are slow in attending the first stage , or a mistake is made and the long lead time isn’t used , you could be given an unrealistic date for service ,
