Your engineer was superb

Your engineer was superb. Gave excellent advice on installing fibre broadband, carried out the work neatly and efficiently, both outside in the manholes and inside our house. Even supplied an adaptor for our phone which was connected to the back of the old router. He went above and beyond his job to be helpful!

Positive and can do

The installation was not at all straightforward and the engineer still remained very positive despite the difficulties. Did a great job and solved all the problems. Many thanks.

Your engineer was polite and courteous and professional. She ensured that I understood what was happening and how long it would take. She arrived on time and took great care to respect my home and kept everything tidy.

A thoroughly professional and enjoyable experience, thank you.

They have attached the new wire to our pipe which carries the oil into the house from the oil tank!
The best place they said was in hall on top of the fridge freezer and also the phone is there as well. I thought I could have the phone in the dining room but it’s connected to the hub so it can’t go anywhere. I’m not happy about this. We are in our 70’s and 80’s and not very mobile. Please could someone call me .

I understand your concerns about the new cable being attached to the pipe carrying oil into your home, as well as the location chosen for the Hub and phone equipment. Please accept my sincere apologies for your experience. We’ll be contacting you directly via email to help put things right. ^Anjali
