Still no cabinet since Dec 10th - Dec 23rd. BT got 6 days left remaining to do it. I don't think it won't happen now until after xmas. Rather annoyed.

Still reckon the 23rd . Of course it dosnt really make much difference as it still won't be ready for a few months yet

They can't do this on the last day Dec 23rd because it say description here:

It say work start Dec 10th and work end Dec 23rd. It's rather p****ed me off when openreach or contractor never bother to turn up. I had fired email make a formal complaint to openreach CEO about this.

What are you complaining about?

From the outside it looks like a child who has not got their way.

The scale of the FTTC roll-out is such that when the window for roadworks is applied for that delays or staffing levels at a sub contractor or Openreach can mean that work cannot go ahead.

Hi *****,



As promised more information.

Your cabinet PCP8 is planned to be stood tomorrow the 19th December and the power connection is appointed for Sunday the 22nd so if we are successful with both engineering activities we will be very close to progressing your cabinet to full completion and ready for service the 31st January 2014.



Thanks for your patience.



Regards

Olivia Garfield

Chief Executive, Openreach
