Wildanet (Cornwall)

Just talking with an Openreach guy repairing yet another problem caused by Wildanet installers here in Cornwall. He mentioned that Wildanet had could lots of problems with existing cables and phone lines - a lot!. I asked about Wildanet and if I had a choice of ISP with them and he said no just Wildanet over FTTP and they had very little takeup of their service. Therefore, it doesn't bode well for them...

I wonder if Openreach - BT Wholesale would blow a fibre down their purple tubes they laid ?
 
In fairness, Openreach and their contractors are - like other network operators - often in danger of running into the "holier-than-thou" train. I see plenty of Openreach builds making all sorts of mistakes and flouting rules, yet their engineers and contractors are always quick to criticise others for doing the same - often to an inflated degree.

Suffice to say, everybody makes mistakes and some contractors are worse at it than others - nobody has a perfect record. I also highly doubt that an Openreach engineer on the ground could correctly judge the take-up of another network, unless they're monitoring it personally street-by-street every X months and years after RFS.

Just to be clear, though. None of this is to say that Wildanet are doing a good job or even generating good take-up (we have our doubts). What I'm saying is that you shouldn't take the word of a clearly biased engineer from a rival operator :) , an operator that is just as guilty of screwing things up from time to time. There are better sources.
 
at least Wildanet is doing something useless Openreach has been saying not in your area yet but it is because there is a fibre cabinet half a mile away I have been chasing fibre for 2 years no stupid Openreach say 2026 what a joke
