Our installer was helpful

Our installer was helpful. We are 88 and 90.
He was cheerfull. He left with the phone working.
After 48 hours we contacted EE to get 2 computers working. Very helpful and patient. Our problem was with our 'old' fingers. Understood what we needed to do... but had a physical problem. All well finally

Hi Carol,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m sorry that your device is still flashing red and your service isn’t working. I understand how frustrating and concerning this must be. I would kindly ask you to check that the power cables to your Openreach fibre box and router are securely connected and that both devices are switched on, as a humble reminder please avoid disconnecting or handling the thin fibre cable, as it can be easily damaged. If the red light remains, contact your service provider and tell them which light is flashing. They’ll be best placed to check the equipment and service activation and, if an Openreach network fault is identified, raise it with us for further investigation. Please accept my sincere apologies for the ongoing issue and inconvenience caused.^Abir

Hi Kamlesh,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m pleased to hear that the external cabling was completed to your satisfaction. However, I’m very sorry that the engineer appeared rushed, left a mess inside your home and disconnected your landline from the main Hub. I understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be. I would request yout to please contact your service provider and explain that your landline was disconnected during the installation. They’ll be best placed to check the setup, restore your phone service and arrange further support if required. Please accept my sincere apologies for the untidy workmanship, rushed service and loss of your landline connection.^Abir

The fibre upgrade was completed…but

The fibre upgrade was completed however the overall experience could have been so much better.

The copper cable snapped when new fibre was being pulled through so a hole had to be drilled in the wall to route the new fibre connection. All pretty straight forward however the installer used a very long drill and then got an even longer drill to drill through the 15cm wall cavity and unfortunately into the shed that was located about 50cm behind the wall next to the previously visited install location.

Install completed and new hole filled with mastic however the old external conduit was half installed with the remaining cover just abandoned on the floor. Cables removed externally had just been abandoned to one side.

Dirty hand prints left on the units adjacent to where the cable was being routed.

No attempt to clear up any of the drilling debris left behind during the install.

The internal fibre is routed through the old copper box which has been left half screwed in and hanging at a jaunty angle.

In and out of the house during the install but no attempt to put on any boot covers to protect flooring.

Overall the installer achieved the intent of the visit to install the fibre but the overall experience and what has been left behind is very disappointing.

The engineers were brilliant

The engineers were brilliant. They accommodated me and how I wanted the cable fitted because I’m having a decorations done. I didn’t want the cable stuck or glued as it’s supposed to be to under the coving in the corner of the wall so they were brilliant. They checked their manager and they did what I asked him to do and there was such a nice pair of guys that we were helpful courteous they were brilliant. I can’t fault them their credit team.

Great service throughout

Arrived at the start of the appointment window, which was useful, and Dewi listened to my plans for future IT configuration and ensured that internal positioning of equipment was spot-on, whilst contributing some great ideas and cautions - great service.
