Hi all, after a very slow 2 years of watching fibre being rolled out around me, they are finally getting to my area!
Last week the CBT and Splitter was fitted and wired up in the underground cavity at the end of my drive. Today, whilst I was out someone was roping from the cavity to the ducts at our houses. Got home, and everyone's is done except mine - having looked at our security camera it looks like after a minute or so of jabbing, the operative couldn't get the rod down my duct (where the phone line enters the house).
I checked with a garden stick, and sure enough, annoyingly some rocks and a bit of compacted soil would have stopped it. 10 minutes of effort from me, and some very inventive fishing and hoovering, and it is all clear - to the point I can see the bend in the duct, the cable going round, and my bendy garden stick goes in and round as far as it will go before I run out of length.
Question: how might this initial failure affect my ability to order fibre when it is finally available? Will someone try again to rod when I order (which I am 100% certain will be successful), or does it automatically get more complicated because the system will suggest they might have an issue?
I'm a bit annoyed - had I been here, I could have cleared it and if he was still in the cul-de-sac asked him to try again!
