What is the latest openreach time for a 8am to 1pm install ?

[link to this post]

I'm due to have an engineer visit to install FTTC today between 8am and 1pm.

Its now 1:08pm and no sign of any engineer.

Anyone know when the latest time is before I call my ISP and moan?

I would do a polite can I just check the dates are all correct. As it may simply be the engineer is running late due to previous jobs

Thats what I was thinking. I've had about 15 text messages from my ISP (Sky) telling me todays date and the time slot and to make sure "you are at home" !

Yes, get on the case as there have been lots of reports of missed appointments.

See the sorry tale in the Sky forum.

Well if it is 8am to 1pm then 1pm is the latest time they should turn up.. At the very least BT should phone you to tell you if they are running late.With BT though there is little chance of them doing that

You can't blame BT (openreach) when they're not going to turn up because your chosen ISP has screwed up..

James - be* pro - 16.8 / 1.2 Mbps until 16th Sept - then BT Infinity from 19th Sept - 44.6 / 6.5 Mbps estimated
