Well I am just counting the days down. Let's hope it goes well on Tuesday. I will be taking pictures

Update 19/12/2017

So today the Openreach engineer arrived and completed the entire fibre setup. All lights are green and I am now waiting on BT to confirm to Cerberus all is good and activate the last part.

Luckily I still have Zen internet for another week so I can still use the net. Just need to wait to connect to the new fibre. At least all the physical work is done.

Excellent news, almost there

Btw did Openreach install the 4 port Huawei ONT or the newer single port version with a BBU built-in? I believe the newer units were introduced in Oct but haven't heard of any case(s) where people had them installed.

Also I take it there was no external CSP installed as you have a connectorized set-up?

Its the new one, all built in, he did give me the option, because the newer one is bigger.

he did give me the option,

Naughty lad, all new installs to have the new single port ONT from last Monday, the old four port ones held as van stock to be used as replacements if an existing four port is found faulty.

I've not had my hands on one yet, but believe the 'bigness' is just a casing containing the two separate components ?

Congrats .... you got there.

It was because I said it was a bit big, I thought of it as good customer service

You are correct, it is just the casing

still not live though

still not live though

Some quirk with Cerberus maybe .... the very few I have fitted have been for BTB and have worked on the day of the install.

Well the install did finish around 4ish, so end of the day, still no joy with it
