No workmen or cabinet again today. Was supposed to have been put in last week. Not great weather today tho.

I was hoping for a quicker than normal deployment with everything that's gone on.

Fingers crossed I guess...

Is there still works there with barriers around them? If so at least they'll be back soon. Some of our remaining cabinets keep getting scheduled, but never seem to be installed.

I have seen a few that have been delayed. I'm afraid you're not a special case and Openreach will I'm sure deal with your cabinet in the same manner as all the others - another streetworks application and install ASAP.

Yes, still big hole there ready for the cabinet with barriers from last week when they put the underground ducting in. Nothing since. I was told by the BT Openreach Project manager previously, and the workmen last week that the cabinet was going in last Thursday (7 Feb).

Setting a precedent based on who does the most pestering wouldn't be wise.

I'm in touch with people more senior still and when I enquired about expediting things was told:

As you can appreciate - the commercial programme is complex and rigorously planned with many criteria taken into consideration - we will not change timescales - but at least you can say you tried!

This with national level publicity, local and national government involvement.

It's hardly fair on anyone else for their installs to get bumped because you're emailing / phoning people.

Check local street works notifications. The most recent delay I've dealt with was a cabinet scheduled to go in between 30th January and 6th February which was pushed back to 20th - 26th February initially with power to follow between 4th and 8th of March.

The cabinet install date has been amended to 12th - 18th February however power is still going to be connected in March as it stands right now.

I think you're extremely naive if you think things can't, won't or aren't moved by people. If I had paid attention to your sort of attitude, nothing would have been done here yet.

If you had bothered to read this thread, rather than what appears to be blindly posting on it,you would have noticed that I am well aware of streetwork notifications, I had even previously answered one of your posts that I had been checking it. Your posts are not helpful.

The part of my post which should have been useful was referring to a cabinet where the PM hasn't been getting pestered multiple times a week being rescheduled to within 2 weeks of original installation date.

The information I gave you was from a step below board level not some random thing I made up, yours is one of hundreds of cabinets which had planning issues and likely one of tens if not hundreds where residents consulted with Openreach and council, though they did it without airing every detail on this forum. Work will get rescheduled for as soon as possible to minimise delays by default and streetworks notification will probably appear shortly.

I gave you as much information as anyone on this forum can, a similar case where weather delayed installation, go get stroppy with the Openreach PM for daring to carry on with schedules and service other people with the resources in his local area rather than dropping everything to prioritise you if this frustrates you.
