Sods Law! I will bet it is 2025 at least before they bridge that
gap.

We were in the "next group to be done" bit for 18 months or so, but then
it happened fairly quickly after that.



Whereas we were in the "wait for news ..." for the best part of two years. Then "if you haven't heard anything, it's not happening".

Took some emails to political people to trigger a change of view in Openreach.

Once decided, they were excellent. They came and installed the whole lot (more than 100 houses) with a team of people from across the whole UK. Very fast, friendly, considerate to everyone.
