I've read in multiple places that CityFibre will take a couple of days to a couple of weeks to roll out in a street, but they have been going for MONTHS in our area (North Tyneside).
They rock up for a few days/a week and do a bit. Disappear for a bit, come back and do a bit more. Disappear, then loads of spray paint appears over every imperfection in the roads/paths (to be fair they are appalling in places), these then eventually get fixed and look top notch. Then it rinses and repeats.
From what I can figure out, they must have different teams for (1) traditional trenches, (2) narrow trenches, (3) sticking the spool of wires into the cabs/installing the cabs and (4) pulling cables through Openreach ducts. It all seems VERY inefficient.
Is this others experience?
I'm not complaining, just everything I have read said a few weeks and I was expecting a swift rollout.
