Work carried out efficiently and completed task checked before it was signed of by representative. I was also impressed by the helpfulness of both representatives.
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 engineer was great
The engineer was great did what he needed to do without any problems asked us questions and acted on the answers we gave
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.
