Saw BT working on my cabinet 8 FTTC with a tent on it. (why tent?)

It's cold out there

Openreach working on my cabinet 8 all day since this morning. But, they had left an hour ago. Can hear fan closer to it.

Updated on my cabinet: Just saw BT Openreach this morning at my cabinet as he open the FTTC cabinet as I asked him polite "When will I getting FTTC live service?" he say to me "There is a problem delaying as the new line card request had been push back date, I expecting it won't be ready until May 2014".

I am furious and going to fired away email to Olivia & Richard (project manager for FTTC cabinet) and also I was shocked that I noticed BT Availability Checker had removed FTTC estimate and speed on their database.

Disgraceful, why line card had been delaying and why it taking five months to wait? The card line should pre-order earlier? Not happy at all.

You'll get use to it. I've contacted Openreach twice since July for an estimate on when I'd get fibre. It started at October, then December and I'm still without, what I'd consider, decent broadband. I might be able to gather enough money to move before they got it together.
