It appears that on the first attempt at installation, our network had been damaged and the grounds reinstated, as the final installation was situated only inches away. Geo had not received any prior notice of the proposed works nor any correspondence from the third party informing of the damage to our infrastructure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Geo prides itself on its service level performance excellence, owing to both the fundamental design and build of the Geo fibre network and the excellent operational relationships and processes established that underpin a successful service delivery model. All agreements and systems are built to manage end to end solutions seamlessly and to provide consistent SLAs across the entire network.
