Personally I have been waiting about six months but thankfully the end is in sight. I have seen some other users mentioning a year so there can be quite a variance in time frame.

Ah... time to delivery is an entirely different matter.

Mine was 17.5 months from paying the survey fee to getting live service - but the process was beset with problems all the way from getting the initial order registered on BTE's systems to getting the service activated at the end. Others have had a smoother time.

If you've just placed your order for survey then I'd suggest you set your expectations around getting service a year from now. Then if you get it sooner, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I just got a call today, the line is complete. They just need to get it into my house, they're coming on Tuesday and I'm getting all excited again. Wish me luck!

Part 5 has got to the point of swamping all the other threads, so closed.

For those still pursuing their Fibre on Demand plans part 6 is welcome.
