Overall, 93% of all landline and broadband orders were delivered by the date agreed with the customer in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>On average, it took 15 days for a landline or broadband order (whether it be a new service, home move or change to service) to be delivered in 2018. This was a slight increase on the 13-day average in 2017. Ofcom found that it also took a day longer to deliver a new service in a rural area than in an urban area.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly &#8220;<em>full fibre<\/em>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) services on average took four days longer to be delivered than other broadband services, which isn&#8217;t a surprise since they&#8217;re often more complex and costly to setup on the first install.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> In 2018, 5% of orders (400,000) took more than 4 weeks to be delivered and less than 1% of new installations took more than 8 weeks!<\/div>\n<p>In terms of missed appointments on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s network, there were some 1.9% of missed appoints for new service installations (changed from last year) and 1.8% for repairs to an existing service (unchanged from last year).
