Update 8 June 2018

Hi All,

I have finally received my commission and hopefully completion date. OR phoned me today to tell me they will becoming to commission my line next Friday morning.

So my long 9 month saga is almost complete. Hopefully 1 week left to go.

you have some serious patience, by this point I would have been going nuts!

Not quite the same I know but it took considerably longer for our community funded All-In-One cab to be installed to serve our 75+ EO lines. I signed the contract late March 2015 and we went live in September 2016. Admittedly much of the delay being due to Lambeth rather than Openreach, our cab was stood in December 2015 but Lambeth wouldn't allow a duct to be dug across the road even though it was Lambeth who insisted the cab should be placed there rather than on the same side of the road as our development.

Glad to hear you're almost there, luckily I got mine installed in just under 4 months but I've heard stories of Openreach taking nearly 2 years for some FoD installs. This was 2-3 years ago though.

At present they are probably testing your FTTP circuit to make sure all is well, eg measuring loss of light at certain points of the PON to ensure its well within the specified tolerances. Once the testing is complete, a circuit ID will be issued for your line and the BT/OR DSL Checker will show "WBC FTTP" for your address (possibly 1000/220 Mbps ), this should happen very soon and that's when you should get excited.

Good luck!

HI baby_frogmella,

The dsl checker is showing that WBC FTTP is available on my number at 330 / 50 with a waiting list as the availability date.

What does this mean? Before FTTP on demand was showing now this and FTTP on demand are showing.

OR are scheduled for Friday morning to come commission the line.

Can you post a screenshot from the DSL checker? 'WBC FTTP' may update to 'available' once your line is fully commissioned.

Same thing my one says. Its generally the checker see's your line as FTTP once everything is run to the house.

Snake does yours now say available for FTTP?

This is mine after my FoD install, yours should look similar. However you might see WBC FTTP 330/50 instead of 1000/220 as not all exchanges support the higher speed tiers. Not that there is any ISP selling the half gig and one gig BT Wholesale services just yet!
