ye FTTC
ive chopped a hole in the back of the kitchen cabinet and i can see the damn master socket now, but he wont be able to undo screws mess around with cable and swap face plates cos its such a byatch to get to. i think i may have to run some internal cable myself via the loft and down some stud walls to where i want and then get him to connect it up internally and externally and im not looking forward to crawling with my face in fibreglass insulation and poking and prodding with those push pull rods.
Spoke to a bt engineer mate today, he said, chances are the guy who comes will be a sub contractor from John Quinn, who work for openreach, they get £30 per job and are on a mission to bang em out. Cos they usually have about 5 other jobs to do in a day. If he cant be arsed then, he wont do anything extra. If thats the case then you just put your foot down and say well you better re schedule the job. That job then goes back to Openreach and there guys get around 2hrs to do the job and you'll probably get stuff done neater and how you would actually want it .
