Hi everyone,
I hate starting a new thread, especially since it's just another impatient guy who wants something yesterday!
but..
We live in Rural East Renfrewshire (G78 3AE) and have been on an EO line. We'd been "in plans" for FTTP for some time and, a few weeks ago, work was finally carried out to run fibre past my own and neighbours property. Engineer also had to run cable directly to my property and installed a new box of some description. He said at the time this was for FTTP.
At about the time of this work, BT Openreach changed from "In Plans" to show our property as available, but for FTTC, not FTTP. Also, this FTTC was for a cabinet that was around 2 miles away. I was told by one of the engineers installing FTTP that they were running the FTTP cables to this cabinet. He also suggested that I upgrade to FTTC so my line can be moved from EO to that cabinet in prep for FTTP.
I did as he suggested and am now on FTTC (at a very slow speed - 7.5mbps but still double what I was getting on ADSL).
Cutting a long story short, it's now been around 5 weeks since the FTTP installation work was completed but it's still not available on the BtOpenreach broadband checker. Does anyone have any experience of how long the process takes post the engineering work? Being a typical Arian and also the fact that I've promised the kids an end to their gaming woes, I'm impatient to get my first properly fast internet connection.
Interested to know if it's a few weeks or a year!
Thanks in advance
Ian
