Does anyone have a view on current timescales for final quote production?

It all depends on variables such as workload of Openreach staff, complexity of your install, findings of Openreach Survey etc. Questions which only Openreach can answer...

Had my update call with Cerberus today, and it looks like they have now received the prices from OpenReach, so I'm expecting an email/call from the account manager early next week with the final build costs.

Quotes so far on this thread (for those who decided to proceed with a survey) are summarised here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QFkK1sLBFQjl...

Only one person was lucky enough to get an initial desktop quote under £4K - it was £3.9K - but several have had final quotes below that level.

OK so confirmed build costs have now come back at £6,450+VAT including reduction for survey and deduction of £850 for premises passed (I guess that must be my nearest neighbour).

So my desktop quote has gone UP by £1,550 - that must be some sort of precedent!

After DCMS voucher and VAT reclaim, the net cost is £3,450

I got an unexpected call from Openreach yesterday. They are coming to do the survey on Wednesday and wanted to know if I'd be in. Apparently they need to get inside briefly to take a photo of where I want to put the stuff. The guy I spoke to said the inside bit of the survey for residential installs wasn't really important but he ideally needed to get a photo.

Nice. Hopefully I'll get a phone call this week to arrange a survey visit, unless for some reason they end up deciding that they don't need to enter the house briefly. Otherwise I guess I'll get in contact with Cerberus if I hear nothing after this week to see what's happening (as that'll be two weeks I believe).

How far are you away from the aggregation node? just waiting for my final quote but curious to see how I compare.

I ordered 21st August and my update yesterday is that OR are still waiting for a surveyor to be assigned (this is in NW London) - so five weeks have passed so far...

My latest update:

BT confirmed the survey completed and we are now waiting for planning to confirm costings.
Your next update is on 27/09.

My survey was done on the 11th September.

Latest update:
Openreach surveyor called late this afternoon, they will be doing the survey tomorrow morning first thing. Great! I wasn't expecting it to happen this quickly.

1.8 km. Most of that is overhead, pole to pole, with a short section, perhaps around 450 metres ducted.

Apparently my AG node is 800m away. I would never have guessed where it was and interestingly it appears to be not at a cabinet unless there is a cab on that road I don't know about, I'll check that out sometime this week.
