Getting connected, time scale?

Hi Hive Mind

Our farm complex has just had fibre lines installed, connected to a central pole.

I've registered for FTTP, with Open Reach.

I was wondering how long a wait I can expect before they connect my house to the pole?

What has been your experience if you have been in a similar situation?

(Please move if not in right forum area!)

    Have you signed up for a service from an ISP? Openreach wont connect your property until they get an order from a provider.

    BT that is not Openreach who do not deal with the public.


    You may find that few ISPs want to offer you an FTTP service .

    Might be worth a check of the usual comparison sites b4 you speak to Bt etc so you know if they make you a decent offer.

    Thanks again guys. I'd like to switch from Vodafone as their communication is abysmal. Now may be the time to do it.
