Your chosen provider simply needs to place the order. Resolving address issues is done by a dedicated team at Openreach during the provisioning process.0 -
basically Openreach needs to put a MASTER* socket in your house (and make in live)
*if this is a new house the builder should have done this
Also Virgin have said if the road your new build (estate) is coming off a road that has fiber, and your estate has the ducting (which it must) they will to cable you up.Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring0
