FTTPoD desktop quotes and final prices

Estimated Build Cost: Unable to offer an estimate using desk survey tools. Onsite survey required to confirm charges


Number of premises passed for FTTP:

That's really helpful and no I haven't accidentally misquoted. There just a blank space after number of premises passed.

Anyone else received a 'Desktop quote' like this?

My update today is below. I am reading this as we "have a delay in getting the price to you".

Openreach have advised that the Final costings have been received, but unfortunately they have also reported a system issue that is preventing costs uploading to FLOW, planners has raised a case with Openreach�s systems team to have this fixed.

That's unlucky! Hopefully it won't take long to resolve that specific problem.

Yes: norniron91, sherburn. Also nemeth782 initially got a quote like that, but then they changed their mind and offered a quote of £17,700.

Of those, only norniron91 went ahead with a survey, and the final quote was £21,540.

And to confirm that is £21540 + VAT

I've now sent away for a desktop quote for 14 properties for a CFP.

Closed the original thread. This was one of the latest segments so will leave this open.

When ever you do this would it not be a good idea to add a link back to the original thread?

There's now 3 threads to search across....

How much is XenForo to install?

Content wise this place is good, but it feels like it was built at the time of the ark.

It works well for me. The combination of Flat and Threaded modes is far better than the purely Flat mode that all the modern ones seem to have.

Maybe you don't have your display and other options set up very well. I recommend:

- Style sheet = thinkbroadband;
- Normal index;
- Active in the last week (or longer depending on how often you visit);
- Descending date (but maybe you are used to Ascending on other forums);
- Flat mode;
- Collapsed threads;
- Parent posts per page = 99;
- Posts per page in Flat mode = 99;
- Preview post screen = On;
- Text area columns = 140 (maybe a few more);
- Text area lines = 25;
- Show sigs = Yes;
- Show user status - Yes.

Also to make it run more smoothly put the forums you want to check regularly in "My Home >> Favourite Forums" and make that your entry page, not the Main Index.

I hope that helps.

A more helpful suggestion would have been to do it yourself
