Current lead time for fitting Fibre?

Anyone have BT fibre fitted recently? I'm guessing about 2 weeks...

    Fibre to the premises? Fibre to the cabinet?

    I was thinking private customers signing up for a new fibre deal, just to give some idea of how long people are having to wait to have it fitted, assuming its readily available at their local cabinet.

    If the fibre is already available in the cabinet, it takes as long as the ISP can process the request and then how long the lead time to get Openreach to action. Probably a minimum of a couple of weeks.

    7-14 days usually.
