Were you migrating from another supplier or was it an install that included external works to get from the nearest connection point to your house? If it was the former then it probably was just handy a Sky engineer was in the area - if they also did the external works and cabling then that would be very impressive.

I might be reading the OP wrong, but as per my earlier post, I believe he ordered it at midday, and his wife answered the door to engineer at 2pm, he then posted about it the next day.

Ordered FTTP from Openreach around midday, 14.00 engineer knocks on door to fit! A record?

Indeed. Amazing. Call Guinness Book whilst kissing your granny 😎

I should clarify, it was Openreach that turned up 2 hours after ordering from sky, it was after I received an e-mail from OR that FTTP was available on the 14th at 11.36. Immediately applied to Sky, Openreach called me at work at 16.02 to say the work was complete......now I wait for Sky to complete connection.

That may be the part that takes up to 10 days to complete 😂

Seriously did Openreach install the drop cable and CSP (only) then or did they complete the whole physical install complete with ONT?

I think you're dead right.........hurry up Sky!

I'm very impressed with the 2 hour turn around by Openreach, shame with Sky doing the internals these days all customers ordering through Sky now need 2 visits which overrides the '1 stage' category assigned to some properties.

I've already got Hey Broadband, very happy with them, but I'm a belt and braces type of guy and thought that having FTTP with Sky aswell might be nice. The Sky Guy did all the external work, paving slabs up etc. and a very neat job. A nice change in this day and age.

I thought Sky would do the internal work, as noted above, and Openreach then the external work (drop cable from street and CSP).

Seems yours is the other way around...
