Weekend line installation?

Penri1980

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a broadband provider that will send out an engineer to install a new line on a weekend? I'm a contractor so will not get paid if I have to take a day off in the week, adding a considerable cost to my broadband installation.

Thanks in advance

Doesn't matter who your Broadband supplier is, BT Openreach do the work, and probably not at weekends.

In my experience faults are prioritised for any authorised BT Openreach weekend work -can't see them authorising for installations.

And you can't specify a date anyway.

Virgin will do a saturday install.

But anyone else requires work done via Openreach

Broadband providers do not normally install, or arrange to install, lines unless you are getting the phone service from them as well.

If you already have a phone line (eg BT line) it's self install anyway (or do you mean you need a BB line and need a line installed too to run it ?)

If there's no existing line then Virgin is your only option for a Saturday install. I'd have booked it before I moved for moving day though as there's usually odd bits and pieces you need to be home for/make calls to that a day off is usually essential if you have no friends or family locally prepared to wait in for you for a day.
