Re: Fibre order

I know, I was referring to the PN router, which I expected the extension cable to be delivered at the same time as.

Re: Fibre order

Wow... all done.  BT engineer called about 12:30 to say he was at the cab and would it be ok if he came round once he'd done.
Got here, I explained about the extension, no problem he said.  (He'd been offered and received his cup of tea by this point)  Wink
He put in the extension wiring, drilled through the wall and fitted a new socket which he made the master, making the old master an extension.
Plugged in the BT modem, DSL light appeared green, he did some more checks, including the phone line itself, then left me to it (he'd noticed I had my own router so asked if I was happy with the setup and left me to it).
Router connected through first time.. very impressed

Will leave it to settle down then tidy up the modem/router and cables in their new home.
Have to say, I was dreading this day.  The BT OR guy was exceptional.  Very chatty, really pleasant.. seemed like nothing was too much trouble.  PN guys, if you have any way of submitting feedback to BTO about good installs please submit a good work report on behalf of the engineer that attended today.  Not only did everything go totally smoothly, he was a really nice chap!
Install started around 12:30, was online and connected by 13:00.
Top marks.  Thank you all, both at PN and BTO.

Re: Fibre order

I'm guessing your biscuits must have been his favorite ones Grin
Glad to hear, the majority of orders are like this, I can certainly add your comments to the installation notes for feedback.
If there's anything else let me know.

Re: Fibre order

Not quite so good for me:
Had my FTTC installed this morning not by OR but by a Kelleys guy. Phoned from the exchange to say he couldn't find my line. came into the house plugged in a gadget, went back to the exchange, found the line, came back to the house and didn't want to install the extension (didn't actually refuse but said it would a hell of a major job). Modem and router now installed in the hall with low wireless speeds (up to half max if you're lucky) upstairs.
2.5 stars out of 5 (at least it works, sort of).
