Gentlemen,
You could well be in for more delightful delays of up to 5 months on FTTC deployments where the first 84 (2 * 32 + 20) or 96 ( 2 * 48) have all been consumed so the cabinet goes back into non-availability.
Surrey are now well into phase two of the original intervention FTTC projects as (I assume) BT accountants wouldn't pay for the second tie cable duct between the PCP and the FTTC during the original installation.
This results in the re-excavation of the entire duct run to add a second duct with all the delays, inconvenience and LA Highways regulatory hoops to jump through.
Kind regards,
Walter
Par for the course, Walter, regarding the delays. If the original pairs have full use-age, then it wouldn't be fair to down tools on another in-progress FTTC upgrade, just to satisfy those EU's who missed the boat on the first tranche !!
I can almost see you typing in your reply
, probably saying ......
"It was obvious the take-up in this particular area would be high". However ......... no business worth it's salt, especially a FTSE100 company will ever work on
'Ifs, buts and maybe's' .......... maybe it would have been frugal for someone like yourself to have had a mini-campaign asking the locals to fill in the on-line
'Expression of interest' form, before work actually began at the very beginning ?? The EOI is one of the 'Drivers' that is looked at.
