It took nearly 2 years for mine to be activated! The street my flat is on it was nearly a year and a half!
So don't hold your breath.

Yet: -
Email on 6th March confirming I'd been added to their plans (again)
Contractors spotted on my street on 8th March pulling fibres
4th April, I placed an order for FTTP
17th April, installed.

I think people forget that this is much more complex than the FTTC rollout 10+ years ago. A fibre cabinet going live and being added on to everyones already pre-existing copper infrastructure was a hell of a lot easier to do than running individual fibre cables to everyones house...

The only reason I was concerned with mine is snow caused it to pull so low it was touching a neighbours shed roof.  Its right at the lowest point on the cable, the engineer actually struggled with that shed getting the cable installed as it kept getting stuck on the corner of the roof.  He had to pull it to one side while I pulled it through the clamp at the house.

I can't entirely blame people.  Pretty sure one of our cats we got microchipped we had to have him done twice as the chip migrated and they couldn't find it any more.  Another cat we had chipped went missing and we never heard anything.

Current cat is microchipped as adopted from RSPCA, but forcing it seems kinda pointless if they don't bother scanning them or they can become unreadable.

Lucky, mine is pulling away from the wall since they tightened it at the pole.

Perhaps raise this with Openreach and ask to re do it.

As for my one, I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes. I know there is still a little movement in the wind but not as huge looking as it was. I also understand that they are not to be bar tight and need a little slack for movement. Even the Openreach engineers said. But before, considering it was not actually clamped shut either the cable at property side it was extremely slack and pulling hard and tight from the cleats on wall.
