So some more developments. AA portal showing mid June as install date now, waiting on civils. This is normal practice. However, today, civils team arrived and managed to pull through fibre without any digging required. Even heard one of them saying “I thought this was a direct bury area”. But never mind, they were able to attach fibre to the end of my copper cables, pull those all out and out popped the fibre, now taped up in a coil outside my door, they said they’d be back to complete today/tomorrow.
