Re: Finally FTTP has arrived for me

Most of the time was fixing issues externally and going to get extra cables etc. The actually getting cable into the house and putting ONT on wall maybe 1.5hrs, then 1hr chasing support and Chris getting annoyed that they wouldn't put him through to 2nd line.

Also the OVH speedtest isn't working for me. Here is Speedtest

@TheRealDabhand count yourself lucky. I do hope you leave nice message for the engineer Chris via openreach site below

As for me, sadly no FTTP yet until 2026 or might never come!

@goldenfibre, don't be so down hearted, you will get FTTP eventually when they close your local exchange, sometime in the late 2030 Smiley

@mystreet1 My local exchange isn't run by FTTC/FTTP as it run by Wellington, Telford exchange. My local exchange is run by ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ only and telephone pcp.
